PylonTech, Quatro Installation. Voltage and Temperature sensor required?

When using the Quattro with PylonTech CAN bus controlled batteries do I need to connect the voltage and temperature sensors to the Quattro, or will it get the info it need from the PylonTech?

@jury.coetzee@gmail.com You will only get the info from the pylontech when you have a canbus connection with a GX/venus device There is comprehensive information here.

Temperature sense is done internally by the Pylontech and reported to the GX via the canbus.

Thanks. The pylontech is connected to the ccgx using CAN bus. The example connection in the referenced doc shows no voltage or temp sensor connection, nor are they mentioned in the doc, hence the question. I would like to confirm this.
