Is data from other devices available from VE-direct on one device on the bluetooth "network"

I have a setup with a Smartshunt, a BueSolar mppt and a Phoenix Charger. I want to be able to connect all devices to a Raspberry pi, bu i also want the devices to be able to talk to each other using Bluetooth. If i add a BT dongle to the BlueSolar i will not be able to use the VE.direct port.

The question is if the VE.direct port on for example the SmartShunt will have information from the other devices connected via Bluetooth?

A ve smart network and use of a GX device is specifically mentioned in the manual as not being designed to work together.

The reason is the GX is coordinating all the information already, so the smart network is not necessary.
