I want to view both the SS MPPT CC and the Multiplus II in Victron Connect. Not using a GX device. Do I need to use two separate Bluetooth dongles for each device? I have one, it appears the smart shunt, and the CC have BT built in.. Limited range.

You will need the VE Bus Smart dongle for the Multiplus to monitor in victron connect. And yes the BT dongle will work for the MPPT.
Once you have made settings you dont really need the mk3, unless you want to update or change anything.
The Bluetooth Smart is mostly monitoring, you can change a few things like input current limit.
Since you have the mk3 , if you are a tinkerer, you can also use a raspberry pi to make a GX for monitoring.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
