Hi @JasonTav,
you can't combine GX Device with that setup, unfortunately. A GX Device does not control the MPPTs based on input read via VE.Bus. Why? Because an Inverter/charger might be switched off.
ps, more information about how to use a GX Device, Smart Lithium Batteries & MPPTs is here:

nice, thanks
I see the "charger disconnect" from the BMS is connected to the BMV - why go via the BMV rather than direct from the BMS to the battery protect?
OK I read the manual.
Seems Venus communicates via ve.bus with the BMS and controls the mppt via its ve.direct connection, so the ve.direct non-inverting remote on/off cable from the BMS to the mppt isn't required.
If anyone can confirm my thinking here I'd be glad to hear
