Simultaneous display of SmartShunt and JK-BMS in VRM dashboard

Hello, please experienced advice. I have an incompatible REVO VM II hybrid inverter, so nothing from Victron. To monitor the battery I use a SmartShunt 500 and at the same time a JK-BMS (via dbus-serialbattery) connected to the CERBO GX.I can see everything on REMOTE CONSOLE, but I only have SmartShunt or JK-BMS on VRM. I would need to get a SmartShunt there as a controller and a JK-BMS some control data for display only. I couldn't find anywhere how to do this. I only found an option when some inverter is connected to load into the VRM configuration (Victron only) Does anyone know of a solution? Something like connecting a virtual device and sending it parameters from the JK-BMS.Thanks for the advice.

You can only chart this with advanced widgets. The dashboard will only show what is configured as the battery monitor, so it's one or the other.

Be aware, that without a victron inverter the dashboard may also not display correctly, as VRM currently needs a supported inverter to properly render some dashboard data.

@stucel

You can go to settings - system setup - battery measurements - see the three listed and mark them as visible.

Caveat i do have a victron inverter.

It will appear like this - bmv is my main monitor. One redacted is the Jkbms. (Sorry custom name gives up information.) My set up is not a supported just as a warning to anyone else reading this information with the mixed batteries.

I also have a custom chart in advanced as @nickdb suggested, to see all the SOCs in one place.

To Alexandra: I have Jk-BMS in the device-list, but it does not appear in Battery measurements - I only have SmartShunt there. How to do it?

I have already managed to make the JK-BMS visible in the VRM dashboard. Thank you Paul
