If I add the Lynx shunt to my system, will it provide a reliable SOC value that can be used by the rest of the system instead of the (completely unreliable) value from my BMZ ESS?
Many thanks...

Lynx shunt SOC
I don't know what a BMZ ESS is, but if you mean a BMV-712, then it most likely hasn't been connected properly into the system or hasn't been programmed appropriately for your battery bank, since the BMV series are some of the most accurate battery monitors on the market at any price point... and a different battery monitor wouldn't resolve those issues if they exist.
I'd suggest revisiting your existing battery monitor installation and programming and correcting -or having a professional correct, if it's not within your own scope of familiarity- anything that's amiss there before trying anything else.
bmz is my battery manufacturer...
my question was whether the soc value produced by the lynx shunt can be internally used by the system in places where soc must be specified, instead of the value supplied by the battery bms.
AH that makes sense! Yes, in that case an external battery monitor like the Lynx or the BMV-7xx series will certainly be more accurate than the majority of batterys' self-reporting, and assuming that the rest of the system is a Victron system, the Victron system will indeed be able to make use of the data reported from a Victron battery monitor.
