Ve direct connection to Blue solar MPPT

I have a blue solar 100/30 mppt with a ve direct dongle to enable Bluetooth And smart networking with the BMV712. I just installed a raspberry pi with the Venus OS and it works great. Finally a complete picture. However, as the MPPT only has one VE direct port, I can no longer see the MPPT on the victron app, review settings or smart network without swapping cables. If I get a JST splitter that plugs into the MPPY and then connects both the dongle and the ve direct cable to the PI, will they both receive the correct information needed?
