Accurate/smart oil sensor? (discuss.tchncs.de)

We heat our house with oil (grumble grumble grumble) but our float sensor is not a very accurate measure and it's out of the way to actually see. Has anyone come across a sensor that works with HA and has been reliable? Bonus points for something that still has an "analog" view in case of problem

I've seen some sensors on Amazon but I'm skeptical of anything through there.

I think this is exactly what I'm looking for! Have you used these in the past? I like that I can keep the float

My brother has a Rocket in his tank, it works great.
