Long story short, I'm currently planning out my camper's electrical system and want to include plans for alternator charging. Now I know that Victron makes the Smart BMS but from what I can see theres no way to tie it into the Cerbo Touch GX system (VE Bus or VE Direct) to see the current coming from the alternator. On the Victron website they list the Lynx Smart BMS in the same category as the Smart BMS.

Would the Lynx do the same job as the Smart BMS in terms of regulating and controlling the current going to the battery? The website doesnt explicitly mention the use with an alternator but from what I can tell from the PDF manual the Lynx regulates all the current going to the battery, including current from a solar charge controller.
 
More examples - it's pretty wild what the system allows.
