No charged/discharged kWh counters on Lynx Shunt VE.Can

Installed a Lynx busbar with the Lynx Shunt VE.Can in a grid parallel ESS setup using MultiplusII and Pylontech batteries.

I was hoping to use modbus to get readings on kWh charged and kWh discharged but they are empty (but present) for both the Pylontech as well as the Shunt.

The counters I am referring to are:

com.victronenergy.battery - History/ChargedEnergy (and DischargedEnergy)

In my setup I have 2 Can-bus connections so I get these two history items from both the Shunt as well as the Pylontech BMS. Both are "-".


I have been reading the pdf's on the Victron site and found some screenshots of the VictronConnect mobile app. It seems these counters are available on the Smartshunt but not on the far more expensive Shunt VE.Can. Can anyone confirm this ?

#edit#

I am aware of this link but I had the urgent need to get the kWh charged and discharged counters which the Pylontech did not seem to offer:

Did you get anywhere with this, I've been looking for charged energy / dicharged energy (kWh) in Node Red, but am also not getting any values from these two.
