Water Level Expansion data...

Just a quick question on the water level expansion - is the data that comes from the probe a yes/no like a float switch, or does it report an analog value?

It's a value from 0 to 100% of whatever volume of liquid you are measuring.
This is a chart of my ATO container:

As you can see, it's totally empty since this morning :(
I didn't have time to fill it up yet.

Thanks for the info! So another dumb question... do you find it's pretty accurate? I've just about had it with float sensors...

Thanks again for the info - according to the product stats, it says the tubing to connect this is 15 inches... could that be extended without impacting the readings?

I think you misunderstood.
It can measure up to 15" or range, but it comes with a 3 ft tubing.
