In a two receiver system, can the smart port on the second receiver (x8r) be programmed as a sensor to access the RSSI and battery voltage through the smart port sensor input on the first receiver? Has anyone worked on this?

It has been some time and I am trying to remember. Anyway, what radio do you have and are you using ERSKYTX (erSky9x) ?

"erSky9x on Taranis" I believe is where I did two transmitters each with its own receiver,
but if I remember correctly only can use one for sensors.
Tell us more info about what hardware that you have.

Nope.
I believe with ACCESS you can have RSSI of multiple receivers but not with D16.

Here is the FrSky 2.4GHz ACCST X8R Manual:

There is this note in the manual:
When combine two X8R to become a 16CH receiver,
you need to disable telemetry on either one of the two X8R’s
as above chart.
Some more info can be found here:
