Victron SmartShunt- Bluetooth monitoring without a BMV712

[RickP]

I just caught this video today. Pretty cool for the right build. It is available in 500, 1000, and 2000 amp versions. Price $130-295. See video for detail:

Victron Disclaimer For Flamers:
1. No, I don’t work for Victron
2. No, I am not a fanboy, I have other non-blue gear in my setup.
3. Yes, I know there are cheap Chinese units “that will do this for half the price”
4. This is Victron, it is quality and is supported by dealers. That matters to some of us. If you can’t afford it, it can still be awesome for others. Live and let live.

It sounds like all the functionality of the BMV-712 without the physical interface. Pretty slick.

Agreed. Great for those who don‘t want or need the BMV.

I have one that will go into my build. I'm looking forward to putting it all together.

As a data point the bluetooth range on the smart shunt has been report as much less than the bluetooth range on the BMV712.

Probably resulting from placement, as the shunt is often secluded in a more enclosed location than the monitor would be. Definitely something for the person choosing to consider.
