Temperature control from shunt without BMV for ORION / MPPT - possible ?

I have SMART ORINON CHARGER 30A / SMART MPPT CHARGER 35A and SMART 220V 25A CHARGER for LiFePo4 setup.
Im looking to buy a temp sensor for my smart shunt ( Temperature sensor for BMV-712 Smart and BMV-702),1715094269337.pngbut i dont have BMV so my question is - will i be able to control chargning using VE.Smart network and this sensor ?

Maybe its better adding "Smart Battery Sense" which works on its own ? WIll it be able to control 3 all chargers via VE.Smart network ?

Only if you have the Orion XS.

See compatibility section of the VE.Smart Network manual.

The Smart battery sense is used only when there is no temperature sensor on a BMV (or no bmv) to transmit the voltage and temperature. It does not control anything but the internal programming uses the information sent. So your mppts will need to have the relevant cut off temp set.
