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'm starting to wonder if there are white label ultrasonic sensors out there since this looks like the Beckett. It also looks like this won't support 120 AC. I'm in the USA and our namby pamby grid can't handle it.
