Hey, no worries. We all make mistakes. I wasn't clear as to whether there was really something else I was missing. I get it now.
I've considered putting a tank monitor on for my fresh water and waste tanks. I already have a monitor for them mounted near the sink in the head. And that's already a replacement for the crappy Xintex unit. I don't really 'need' to have a networked tank monitor. But if I have to replace the sensors again I'll definitely look at getting the external foil sensor kind, and integrate it with the rest of the network. THAT would give me a reason to get the GMI-10 (or similar) display. Provided it was capable of recognizing the sensor. Some displays are more versatile in displaying more network data. Each type of sensor can send it's own network packets. Gas, diesel, oil, black, gray and fresh water, etc. As I recall, not all gauges would show the different types.
In all honesty the effort to integrate only the tank level sensor doesn't get you very far. At this point you really should bite the bullet and add the in-line fuel sensors too. At least then you'll have enough information for the fuel management features of the display (assuming it has some) to give you decent calculated values. Besides, those of us with too many gizmos need company!
