Victron Smart Battery Protect, Use As Batt Monitor

[Farnorthsurfer]

Working on a system specification and have already bought the Renogy DC-DC charger.
As I am keeping things really simple and am not interested in lots of switches, dials and warning lights if I install one of the Victron Smart Battery Protect units would it work with the iPhone app to keep an eye on leisure battery voltage and also with a remote switch to turn the camper utilities on and off?
I don't really want one of the BMV712 monitors as I don't think I would use it.
Have already accepted that any Solar gains will be hidden as the Renogy has MPPT but no monitoring.

You can download the Victron App and play with each product as demo units....

The battery protect does show the voltage..... but not much else...

Here's some screenshots....

Thanks @Dellmassive I will check out the app.
Been reading your excellent thread on battery monitors and guess you would recommend one of the cheaper Bluetooth monitors in addition to the cut off unit.

Yes the long term data voltage logging can be very helpful.
