Abstract
A method for monitoring an amount of a commodity in a remote storage container via a system comprises: (i) measuring via a sensor the amount of the commodity in the remote storage container and outputting an analog or digital signal, wherein if the signal outputted by the sensor is an analog signal, the method further comprises converting the analog signal to a digital signal; (ii) packaging the digital signal into a data file; (iii) publishing via a wireless connection the data file to a message query telemetry transport (MQTT) broker for access by a user; (iv) receiving confirmation that the MQTT broker received the data file; (v) accessing by the user information from the data file; and (vi) repeating steps (i) to (v) after a predetermined time.
