Request for script to get data from Victron SmartShunt #174
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The existing script for getting data from a Victron MPPT charge controller is very helpful (but see the Issue I submitted regarding the script). Victron also makes a stand-alone "SmartShunt" battery shunt that reports similar data via bluetooth. (It can optionally integrate via VE.direct with other devices.) I would try to create this myself, but I'm not quite sure where the documentation was found for the Victron Bluetooth protocol that was used the create the existing script.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like an additional script like the one for the Victron MPPT Charge Controllers that will work with the SmartShunt to report voltage, current and other parameters that are reported by the SmartShunt
Describe alternatives you've considered
Homebrew ESP32 based solution, but not well packaged and not useful to others.
Additional context
I'm using the existing script as way to remotely monitor multiple MPPT charge controllers installed in a remote location in Kenya from the United States. Basically I'm running the script on a Shelly 1 Gen4 as a Bluetooth bridge so the data can be accessed remotely. I'm also graphing the data using another MQTT script on a node-red server back in the United States. I would like more battery load information, since the larger charge controller do not provide a measured load output.
