Anyone else using a Raspberry Pi to log Victron data locally without VRM?

Victron SmartShunt showing different SOC to my BMS — which one do I trust?
Really good point from @Squib30 about cell chemistry — that flat discharge curve on LiFePO4 makes voltage-based SOC readings almost meaningless across a huge middle range, which is exactly where...
