I am using it for my ESS and it works. Time to time I need manually readjust SmartShunt based on BMS SOC. What I also found as must is current transformer used on grid input phase wire for ESS to work. I am not feeding back to grid.

Thanks @WKirby @Mindaugas . I didn't want to get another battery monitor, and yes I'm under 500A. I have an EM24 AV6 I will be using as a CT.

You can use the 500A SmartShunt in an ESS system, provided your DC current is less than 500A of course.
