Hi Ben,
Wow you've done a lot. I will take a look and do some testing.
I now have a waterproof ultrasonic module so I can test the code with the actual sensor.
Putting the tank level on the home page will be a bit tricky and I need to look into the best way to do it.
You mentioned showing the tank level as a percentage. That was going to be one of my questions but you already answered it.
Another question I have is abut connecting the ultrasonic module directly to the RasPi. It means that the Pi will need to be located on or very close to the tank. Would you consider connecting the sensor to the Pi at a distance?
I have been working on a way to connect remote sensors such as soil moisture sensors, water flow sensors and pressure sensors using an Arduino which can communicate with the Pi. The ultrasonic sensor could be used that way also.
I will try out your code and get back to you. It may be a couple of days.
