Hi I have some issues with smart shunt configured as dc meter for wind turbine is connected via ve direct its shows up in device list also cerbo sees it and displays on screen but it doesnt show up in the vrm dashboard view.
Hi and welcome to the community.
It won’t show on VRM only in Remote Console in Brief and Overview.
Thank You , that’s disappointing. It should be visible in the vrm dashboard.
You can also display the information in a graph on the advanced page. The SmartShunt should show as an available item, or use a custom widget.

Hi i am sure it’s on the “to do” list we will just have to wait and keep an eye on the beta releases as they come along.
I have two turbines (one on a 12v system and one on a 48v system), out of interest what turbine/controller do you have?

It’s DIY solution . Its controlled by two shunts that switch between three charging states based on generated power first to states charge supercapacitor bank when 30V is reached step up converter send power to battery . First stage is charging capacitor through 300w resistor up to 150w second straight from bridge to capacitor up to 400 w and third straight from the second bridge to battery. Picture show V1 proof of concept. im waiting for parts to improve on the design.

Interesting.
I hope it works well for you, there might be a bit of interest in how you do this and what you use so when all proven it might be worth starting a new post with all relevant information.
Please keep us updated on your progress
