Detach A Fill Level Sensor from an Container

A Fill Level Sensor can be removed from an Container if it needs to be replaced or allocated to a different Container. This article shows how to detach a Fill Level Sensor from an Container.

 

If you detach a Fill Level Sensor from an Container, we advise against deleting the Container from the Map View. Deleting the Container will result in the permanent deletion of all related historical data, including any images associated with that Container. This action is irreversible.
