Bt range is not huge but adequate. My only negative to state is bluetooth range seems short. Works to about 20 ft to my ipad 5gen. If range isn't an issue, this will be a great addition.

Cheap ones are just that if you want true values and reliability nothing beats victron shunts imo

Do however see devices that must be in other stored rvs some distance away

However being the setup has guaranteed electromagnetic interference due to all the wiring and also using other victron bluetooth enabled devices the complaint is minimal compared to the ease of data access

You will know the net charge or discharge going to battery for example with solar charge going in and using tv or lights etc using power can see if battery still being charged and how much or is being discharged
