  Cannot help, Sure do hear you.
  
  I like the old-days of different individual system (non-cellphone) monitoring, that I fully understood, instead of relying on a cellphone app or whatever to get information.  Of course the cellphone & easy internet access can be super helpful but it is also a pain/danger at times.
  
  Grandson just gives me that 'teenager expression' when I wish for one 'dial' for each function.
  
  But he has never had to make do when full cell service or internet or electrical power or xxxx was not available.  Regrettably society has forgotten just how complex and vulnerable "our Cellphone " based technology really is . . . . .

  I doubt you can buy just the monitor.  You could buy the 700 package and sell the Smartshunt.

  I tried to solve the BMV 700 and Smart Shunt problem described in the OP.  I think the BMV uses a different shunt specific to it.
  I ended up with a separate Hall effect current and voltage monitor.  No additional shunt needed.  Just pass the main plus or minus battery wire through the sensor and get a constant display of +/- amps and battery voltage.  My installation  agrees exactly with the Smart Shunt which is a key part of of the Victron Connect network of devices in our trailer.  A wonderful feature when I want to get out my phone and nerd out with all the data.  The Hall effect unit lets me check the battery and charging system anytime at a glance.
