@Alik

Don't know if it's possible, but maybe it's possible to connect Cerbo to smartshunt with bluetooth and GlobalLink with the vedirct cable

No, unfortunately Cerbo kan not be connected via BT, only cable. Globallink with beta software can be connected via BT, but this not really works with smartshunt.

No. Direct indicates the cable is between master (GX) and slave device. Each device needs it's own Ve.Direct cable.

Only if you use the RS485 cable then that protocol does support multiple devices. So for instance you can have many ET112 meters on the same Victron RS485 cable. Each will have to be set up for it's own ID, but there are instructions to do that.

Smart shunt should work fine with the GlobalLink over BLE since v2.06.
