Here are some examples of questions that you can ask Alexa using the Smart Oil Gauge skill:
“Alexa, how much oil is currently in my tank?
“When will I need to order more oil?”
“How many days until I run out of oil?”
Asking Alexa these questions will give you a rough timeframe of how many days until you need to order oil! You’ll be do for a fill-up around a quarter of a tank, so be sure to ask Alexa how much oil you have left every couple of days.
What About Google Home?
If you’re an advocate for Google Home devices then you might be wondering about Google Home compatibility. The Smart Oil Gauge was once compatible with Google Home. However in May of 2023, Google discontinued conversational actions. So the Smart Oil Gauge is unfortunately no longer compatible with Google Home devices.
