A stupid question: the VE.direct port on the smart shunt can be connected to the NMEA 2K bus via the Ve.direct to N2K cable converter?
if not, why?
Thanks

The Specs say that it will not work with a BMV-712smart so I would suspec t that it wont work with a smartshunt as well. you could just try and see what happens

VE.Direct to VE.CAN interface
The VE.Direct to VE.CAN interface cable can be used to make BMV-700 information available on a VE.Can network. Where it can be read by a Color Control GX for example.
Limitations:
• The interface cable does not work with other VE.Direct products, such as Solar Chargers, Inverters and the BMV-712 Smart.
• When used in combination with a BMV-702 there is limited functionality with regards to the AUX function in the BMV: When used to measure starter battery voltage, that voltage will be transmitted to VE.Can. But when used to measure temperature and or mid-voltage, that data will not be transmitted on the VE.Can network.
DEPRECATED: this interface cable is deprecated. Use a GX Device instead, it provides more and better functionality. More detailed information in this NMEA2000 chapter. And make sure to read our Marine MFD integration guide as well.
