Solar charge controller vs smart shunt

Dear community

I just ordered a Smart Solar MPPT 75 | 10 to charge my van with a solar panel. I did not realise that it has bluetooth and readable data through the app, so I also ordered a smart shunt.

I was thinking of sending the smart shunt back, but I dont know what I would actually miss if I just use the charge controller data? Can the controller also read the state of the battery?


Thank you in advance and kind regards

Jack

Unless you meant a Bluetooth dongle (instead of SmartShunt), I'll say to keep both. They nicely complement each other.
