+# Otodata Propane Tank Monitor
+
+This integration supports Otodata propane tank monitoring devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless communication.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Tank Level Monitoring**: Real-time propane tank fill level (0-100%)
+- **Temperature Monitoring**: Ambient or tank temperature
+- **Battery Monitoring**: Device battery level
+- **Signal Strength**: RSSI for connection quality
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Install the forked BLE Monitor integration
+2. The sensor should be auto-discovered if the BLE parser is correctly configured
+3. Check Home Assistant for new Otodata sensors
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If your device is not detected:
+
+1. Enable `report_unknown: "Other"` in your BLE Monitor configuration
+2. Check the Home Assistant logs for BLE advertisements from your device
+3. Look for the MAC address of your Otodata device
+4. Report the captured data to help improve the parser
+
+## Supported Models
+
+- Otodata Propane Tank Monitor (various models)
+- Specific model support depends on BLE protocol compatibility
+
+## Notes
+
+- Different Otodata models may use different BLE packet formats
+- This integration is community-maintained
+- Report issues or improvements on GitHub
