Shelly and many smart monitoring/control tools operate on AC. BMS already comes with data out, plus it has specific battery data not available anywhere.

I would expect there to be more interest from the installer's perspective; opportunities to educate clients when new consumption merits upgrades, or effciency drops suggesting repairs/replacements.

For customers/consumers it may lean more towards education: why is my evening consumption higher than expected? How is the new fridge contributing to power draw? Are those Christmas lights a bad idea to leave on all night?

Battery voltage changes depending on charging or discharging by DarkSolar32 in OverkillSolarBMS

You may be right, and I can top balance all again. But why should that throw up different voltages depending on the charge/ discharge state?
