I think you need to be more specific about what you have. Is it a "Smart Battery Sense"? Or is it a "Smart Shunt Monitor"? Post a photo if you are not sure.

Ok, what that does is allow various Victron devices to get more accurate info for battery voltage and temperature. But it is not a state of charge (SOC) Monitor, which is what you are hoping to have.
To get that and use the SBS info as well, you will need to get either the Victron SmartShunt ("headless" so you need to use your phone to see the info) or a Victron BMV-712, which you can either read the info on the display or use your phone to do so, whichever you prefer.e
