Expanding VE Direct ports on Venus GX?

Q&A and troubleshooting

Good morning,

My Venus GX in small motorhome has a SmartShunt and SmartSolar MPPT attached via the 2 VE Direct ports and a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle from TP Link. All appears to work fine. I want to add another Smart Shunt on a second battery bank with its aux temp sensor. Is there a simple way via USB port or a bus port to add more wired VE Direct ports?
Thank You!

Thank you for the very quick and helpful reply to my DIY question - got the part ordered.

I will have a follow up question about my Renogy 2kW inverter next, but I need to read the pins first on the remote switch. Iā€™m thinking I could use a Venus GX relay to activate it, but Iā€™m wondering if a Can or VE bus port could work? Cheers!
