Shunts that support SignalK?
Since this seems to be about events potentially occurring after my knowledge cutoff in April 2024, I'll focus on providing general information about SignalK-compatible shunt options that could be useful alternatives to Pico2SignalK.
Here are some established alternatives that have worked well with SignalK:
1. Victron Energy Smart Shunt - This is a well-supported option that can connect to SignalK through various methods:
- Through Venus OS/Venus GX
- Via MQTT
- Through a direct connection using their VE.Direct to USB interface
2. VAA (Voltage/Amperage/Amp Hours) from Tindie - This is an open-source hardware solution specifically designed for marine use and SignalK integration
3. ESP32-based DIY solutions - You could build your own using:
- An ESP32 microcontroller
- INA226 or INA219 current sensor chips
- SignalK ESP module for integration
Also, what are your specific monitoring needs? This would help me suggest the most appropriate alternative for your setup.
