If I create a VE.Smart Network in a Smart MPPT and then let a SmartShunt join this network to share voltage and current info. Can I read the SmartShunt current via ve.direct from the MPPT or do I need 2 ve.direct to USB cables and read each device. Which would be annoying because the information is already shared via BT. Btw, I read the ve.direct protocol manually with a raspberry pi.
Best regards,
Michael
No, the information is not transmitted like that.
You would need to connect both with the ve direct to usb cable to the pi to read their information.
The other way is to use the Bluetooth broadcast to harvest information.
