Victron Cerbo GX to monitor 2 smartshunts and a charge controller with BT adapter?

Hello, so I been looking at the Cerbo GX to be able to monitor my back up systems remotely, I have 2 smart shunts with BT and a charge controller older model (with BT adapter) I like to know if I can use those 3 items with the Cerbo GX at the same time, and would like to remove the BT adapter from the charge controller if is possible, (maybe by replacing with a victron cable) to connect the 3 devices to the Serbo GX. I see different connectors on the Serbo but not sure if I can have 2 or 3 devices connected by BT or if I will need to purchase additional cables to be able to do this. The 2 shunts are in different systems, but the charge controller is in one of the systems with the second smart shunt. Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

Cerbo does have bt support, but only for non-victron products

The Smartshunts and the charge controller need to be conneted to the CerboGX with cables.
The Bluetooth on the CerboGX is intended for initial network configuration and, as Ludo elluded, for connecting certain environmental sensors like the Ruuvi ones.

When you have two smartshunts connected to one CerboGX, only one of them can be assigned as the system battery monitor. The other one could be configured for monitoring DC loads. A CerboGX is intended to be the system hub for one system, not multiple systems.
