Blue smart ip67 VE.direct workaround?

I have:

Phoenix inverter 12/375

Smartsolar 100/30

Smartshunt

Planning to get cerbo/GX to connect everything via ve.direct


I also have a blue smart ip67 12v/25a. I no longer have PV panels hooked up to the smartsolar


can I wire the blue smart ip67 output (either in power supply mode or charger) to the PV input on the smartsolar to workaround the lack of ve.direct connectivity on the blue smart charger?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but I'm guessing you want to see how much powers going in.

The upcoming release of venus os and the lastest firmware of the smart shunt lest you use it as an energy meter achieving that functionality. You would need another shunt though!

Equally if theres no other charging sources you will be getting the information from the shunt you have in place so I'm not sure that There is much to gain.
