Describe the solution you'd like

Currently using BATMON with Victron Shunt. However, I would like to us it via the BLE proxy and not have to have an actual bluetooth device on HA for this.

Additional context

No response

The Victron shunt is not an BMS so I'm hesitant to add it. Can you check if https://github.com/keshavdv/victron-hacs/ works for you? It is the right device to be covered there. Let me know if this is fine. Thanks!

Thats fine. Was just trying to get BLE Proxy support. I can continue to use BatMon for direct BLE connection.

Sorry, but the Victron uses advertisements to provide the information, that is a different method and does not fit the architecture of this integration. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure that https://github.com/keshavdv/victron-hacs/ does support ESPproxy as well although not explicitly stated. Anyways, Batmon is fine, used it myself a lot before.
