the smart shunt is fairly new, and I may have bought that when I was looking if it was released. it might have been in the US but at the time it wasn't in Canada that I knew of. that would only have been three times the cost of the Aili instead of 6 but no drilling for anything for install. but having said that my camper didn't even have any monitoring system at all (not even the three lights) so I wanted somthing I could just look at to see either voltage, current in/out when troubleshooting other equipment and capacity remaining. that it does very well, and if I wanted to see what the furnace was consuming when camping in the fall in the middle of the night I dont want to have to dig out my phone.
I do have the bluetooth conectivity with my solar system and it keep history of a bunch of stuff to do with the solar charging but I find I only use that when I want to see what the max amp input was during a day or just fun things, generaly I like to put my cell down for the most part when I am camping.
mynext upgrade will be some sort of tank level system so I know when they are getting full haha
