I'm not sure why Victron SmartShunt (BT) shows some good power consumption but the other basic 'hall sensor shunt' shows minimal current drawn. Everything was off and the inverter was also off due to low battery shutdown. I expect to see the value of 'minimal' but the bluetooth shunt show amazing power lost. What would be the cause? BTW, setting on the phone app for this Victron smartshunt is confusing.

The shunt, charge controller and anything else you might have connected is pulling a current. There is also likely a zero current calibration in battery settings to zero it out:

ahh! I just did a "Zero current calibration" and everything is going back to zero like it should :) I hope :)
