Excellent quality and an easy fit for my Solar PV set up.Especially useful if you have other "smart" Victron products that can communicate and share info with this and other similar products.Chunky quality inspires confidence in what will hopefully be a long life product.

ok

Ho recentemente integrato lo SmartShunt 500A di Victron Energy nel mio sistema fotovoltaico, collegandolo a un Raspberry Pi che esegue SolarAssistant. E devo dire che è stata una decisione azzeccatissima!Perché lo adoro?Integrazione perfetta con Home Assistant: Grazie alla sua connessione VE.Direct e al supporto di SolarAssistant, lo SmartShunt si è integrato senza problemi nel mio ambiente Home Assistant. Ora ho una visualizzazione completa e dettagliata dello stato della mia batteria, del consumo energetico e della produzione fotovoltaica, tutto comodamente accessibile dal mio pannello di controllo.Dati precisi e dettagliati: Lo SmartShunt fornisce una quantità enorme di dati, tra cui tensione, corrente, capacità residua, tempo di autonomia e molto altro. Tutti questi dati vengono registrati e visualizzati in grafici chiari e intuitivi su Home Assistant, permettendomi di analizzare nel dettaglio il comportamento del mio sistema.Configurazione semplice: La configurazione iniziale è stata abbastanza semplice, grazie alle istruzioni chiare e alla community online molto attiva.Design compatto: Lo SmartShunt ha un design compatto e robusto, perfetto per l'installazione in spazi ristretti.Flessibilità: La possibilità di collegare lo SmartShunt a un dispositivo GX apre un mondo di possibilità per un monitoraggio ancora più avanzato e personalizzato.Cosa mi ha sorpreso di più?La facilità con cui ho potuto integrare lo SmartShunt nel mio sistema Home Assistant. Grazie alle numerose integrazioni disponibili, ho potuto creare dashboard personalizzati con tutte le informazioni di cui avevo bisogno, come la produzione giornaliera, il consumo mensile e lo stato di salute della batteria.In conclusione:Se stai cercando un monitoraggio preciso e dettagliato del tuo sistema fotovoltaico, lo SmartShunt 500A di Victron Energy è la scelta perfetta. La sua integrazione con Home Assistant lo rende uno strumento indispensabile per chi desidera avere il pieno controllo della propria produzione energetica.A chi lo consiglio:Appassionati di domotica: Per integrare il monitoraggio dell'energia solare nel proprio sistema Home Assistant.Possessori di impianti fotovoltaici: Per avere una visione completa e dettagliata dello stato della propria batteria e della produzione energetica.Chi cerca un prodotto affidabile e preciso: Lo SmartShunt è costruito con materiali di alta qualità e garantisce una lunga durata nel tempo.In sintesi:Pro: Integrazione perfetta con Home Assistant, dati precisi e dettagliati, configurazione semplice, design compatto, flessibilità.Contro: Nessuno finora.

so far just use to monitor my battery bank

Although this shunt will work as a standalone monitor this is NOT its intended purpose. Victron system devices are meant to work together. When I bought this I was intending to use this as standalone using Bluetooth for monitoring. Like others have said, the Bluetooth is not great. Not only is the range very short but if you stay connected too long there will be frequent Bluetooth connection "losses". This is quoted because it's not just disconnected but when you try to reconnect the shunt will act as if it's still connected which the only remedy is to pull the small power wire.After a bit of learning more about Victron products, which are the best of the best, I've learned the ve.direct port is where all the magic happens. I already have a Victron SmartSolar 150/60Tr and now this shunt. I like to watch it CONSTANTLY and couldn't keep having to pull power on both the SmartSolar and the Shunt just to get it to continue working after Bluetooth fails. Also to note, when you pull the SmartShunt power to power cycle it it will lose it current SOC reading. It will fix itself once you hit Absorb and Float but that's not always helpful if you're already sitting as a low DOD.The missing magic box for monitoring everything, not just locally but also when away, is the CerboGX. This will allow you to connect the SmartSolar and SmartShunt via ve.direct then you can connect the CerboGX to either WIFI, for away monitoring, or connect to it via Bluetooth, for local monitoring, which seems to have a much more stable connection. Fortunately for me I have a Alcatel 4G router with ethernet port, which the CerboGX also has an ethernet port. Now I have the 4G router running off the LiFePO system and connected to the CerboGX so there's never downtime.The next step was setting up an account in the VRM portal which was insanely easy and now have SO much more details and trend graphs to monitor not only real time but MUCH more such as battery curve on discharge, solar voltage, solar amp, total amps used, battery charge cycles....the list is massive and has everything you could possibly want.Yes the CerboGX is a little costly, which caused much hesitation when initially choosing it, but after getting it and fully setting it up it has been WELL worth every single penny.If you're going to make the investment into the amazing Victron ecosystem it's best to do it the right way. You will not be disappointed and will only want to see just how much more amazing it can get....and Victron devices can expand further than your wildest imagination. I can't express enough just how much I initially wanted to go cheap but let me tell you....you will need to buy more components to any system and Victron makes this near dummy proof. Just read the manuals for each device carefully and don't go over any limits they set.That's all I have for you, happy solar harvesting!!My System:-10x Renogy 100w compact with their tilt brackets (5S2P)-Victron SmartSolar 150/60Tr (yes over-paneled to get to peak charge sooner)-Victron SmartShunt 500a-Victron CerboGX-2x Chins 12v300a (2P for 12v system/ gives me options to go 2S for 24v)-12v1200w Giandel (2400w surge for a few seconds)Considering 24v3000w Giandel and all I'd need to upgrade to a 24v systemthen many fuses and circuit breakers throughoutI know my pictures have a wiring mess but this is only due to not knowing what more I was going to add/change in the system. Once I decide if I'm staying 12v or move to 24v, and get the 24v inverter(they're MUCH bigger but all I need for this change) then I will be changing fuses/breakers and bundling all wires to fit my usually OCD/Perfectionist tendencies. And yes that is a raspberry pi screen I'm using for direct monitor from the CerboGX hahaI also included the VRM (Victron Remote Management) views from PC, 2 darker views, and the one from the mobile device app. Thought that might be helpful in understanding the value of the CerboGX and VRM (which a VRM account is free)
