Can't connect to Victron Smartshunt

[Visnu7777]

Hi @ALL,

I'm using batmon for my JKBMS with success, it works perfect. Now I added a Smartshunt to my system but batmon can't connect. I enabled GATT in the App, powercycled the shunt, cleared the cache in /var/lib/bluetooth, tried "000000", the actual pin and the Victron encryption key (:D) for pin in options.json but all I get is:

I also tried to remove the working JKBMS config temporarily but it makes no difference.
Any clues? Is there someone using batmon with the Smartshunt who can help me with firmware version numbers etc? Maybe victron changed the data structures?

Same situation in my system. Batmon is working with two JBD BMS but integration of Victron smartshunt doesn't work. I also would be happy for some useful hints.

I just ran into a similar issue with a brand new BMV-712 smart shunt. It looks like GATT has been replaced with BLE advertisements. I have this working on a home assistant with another integration, but I would much rather use Batmon. Here is a link to Victron's update:
https://communityarchive.victronenergy.com/questions/187303/victron-bluetooth-advertising-protocol.html. I tried using the encryption key as the pin but it still cannot connect: ERROR [sampling] SmartShuntBt(CE:81:F7:A5:xx:xx,SmartBMV HQ2310PT6CU) device not found, retry in 129 seconds
