## Notes
The EPT TECH TLC2206 is a Tuya-based ultrasonic water (liquid) level monitor. It measures the distance to the water surface and reports the water level in centimeters and percent. Configuration values (e.g., tank depth or installation height) are set in millimeters.

## Options
*[How to use device type specific configuration](../guide/configuration/devices-groups.md#specific-device-options)*

* `time_start`: Reply to Tuya-specific time synchronization requests: "1970" - Reply with seconds since 1970/01/01 (recommended, should stop the device from asking), "2000" - Reply with seconds since 2000/01/01 (use if the weekday is wrong with 1970), "off" - Don't reply (use if replying causes too much traffic). Default for this device: "off". The value must be one of `1970`, `2000`, `off`
