Vaillant outsideMAG with 6.3 - newbie and totally lost

[paolomarchiori]

Hello everybody. Total newbie here, totally lost.

I have a Vaillant outsideMAG 128. I purchased an adapter v6.3 from Elecrow, and connected it to the black (-) and white (+) cables of the display, with the display still connected (and still working). The power LED powers, the Rx LED blinks, the D8 LED is on. WiFi is configured and I can connect to the ports, ie on 3334 I see things like ▒▒[▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒d▒▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒▒8▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒,"X▒▒▒▒▒▒! [...]
Starting ebusd with "ebusd -f --scanconfig -d esp-ebus.local:3333" I get:
2025-07-03 15:27:07.299 [device notice] transport opened
2025-07-03 15:27:07.299 [main notice] ebusd 25.1.25.1 started with broadcast scan on device: esp-ebus.local:3333, TCP
2025-07-03 15:27:07.911 [bus notice] bus started with own address 31/36
2025-07-03 15:27:07.911 [bus notice] signal acquired
2025-07-03 15:27:17.911 [main notice] starting initial broadcast scan

2025-07-03 15:33:23.018 [bus notice] max. symbols per second: 166

I have tried also "--scanconfig=full" and after "signal acquired" I get:
2025-07-03 14:42:00.464 [main notice] starting initial full scan
2025-07-03 14:43:01.903 [main notice] scan completed 1 time(s), check again

2025-07-03 14:48:45.969 [main notice] scan completed 6 time(s), end

but as you can see, there is no "MS" message and on "info" I only see ebusd and no other device:
$ ebusctl info
version: ebusd 25.1.25.1
update check: OK
device: esp-ebus.local:3333, TCP
signal: acquired
symbol rate: 83
max symbol rate: 91
scan: finished, some messages pending
reconnects: 0
masters: 1
messages: 17
conditional: 0
poll: 0
update: 10
address 31: master #8, ebusd
address 36: slave #8, ebusd

What am I doing wrong?

can you update?

No, unfortunately not. championc has pointed out that I need a "map" file that would allow me to interpret/decrypt the messages, as outsideMAG is apparently unknown to the bulk of the community. Will work on that, I have to study a lot I guess.
