  2. smartshunt for bow thruster & engine 1 battery tension
  3. one smartshunt for AC battery bank & engine 2 battery tension

As far as I know you can only select/show one smartshunt / Monitor at a time on the cerbo and this is done in the setting selection area,

You can see many smart shunts. Do this: login with Victron connect. Update the smart shunt to latest firmware. Then select gear wheel for each shunt and select “misc”. Then select the type of power/energy measurement. There is a long list of current source and load devices showing. Then rename and save. They will all appear on the device list but more importantly on the dashboard of the VRM

You can show all 3 by using a raspberry PI and Grafana

With a custom dash

For sure and you can do this on a cerbo as well, but not in its standard form, Kevins mods are getting close and he may even add this as one of his screen one day
