Is the UTP cable required?

Since I really only need the Bluetooth capability of my recently purchased BMV 712 Smart, can I remove the UTP cable? It appears I’m not able to use the phone app if the cable is disconnected. Looking for a way to remove and still use the app.

The Bluetooth module and the whole calculation electronic is inside the monitor so it needs to be connected to the shunt.

If you only want to use the app you should use the SmartShunt instead.
