Any experiences with measuring the water level in a well? My well is less than 5 Meters deep and 20 Meters from the house (no electricity available (yet, but who knows)

I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.
Similar story here. I would guess an ultrasonic sensor would be the most reliable solution for OP, since all the tech can be kept at the top of the well. The only minor question I have is whether echoes would be an issue in a well, but I think it’s worth trying to find out! You can get inexpensive preassembled units that work with Zigbee/Tuya.
You have ultrasonic level sensors for oil tanks so I reckon that it would work in a well.
I have one in my sump pit and it seems to measure the level of water just fine.
