SBC Ale3 can't be connected #331

I'm not sure if this is an issue with mbmd, but I can't get my Ale3 connected to mbmd on a Raspberry Pi. I tried both CH340 and FT232R to RS485 adapters without success. My energy meter is connected to a Viessmann heat pump with address 060. I also tried disconnecting it from the heat pump and resetting it to address 001. Of course I also tried switching the two wires in case I connected them the wrong direction, as well as using and leaving out the resistor. The wire is about two meters long. The command I'm using is mbmd run -d SBC:1 -a /dev/ttyUSB1 --api 0.0.0.0:8085 --comset 8E1

I can measure a voltage of about 6V with my multimeter. The adapter is showing TX, but no RX...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
