Shunts that support SignalK?
I have used Pico2SignalK for 2 seasons, but sometime this spring Simarine have changed something and broken the integration. I'm looking for some other shunts that can be connected to SignalK? Any tips?

+1 for Victron Smart Shunt. signalk-victron-ble works fantastic and all needed data are available in SK. I have 2 of them + Smart Battery Protect + Solar Charger, Smart Battery Charger and an Orion XS B2B Charger. All data available in SK without any additional wiring.
I had a similar problem after a wifi change. Try the latest version if Pico2SignalK to see if your problem is solved.
