Magic Kiss (MonsterPub) uses service 0x9000 instead of expected 0x6000/0x6010/0x8000 #919

Device Info

  • Device: Sistalk MonsterPub Magic Kiss
  • BLE Name: MonsterPub
  • BLE Address: C3:54:4C:02:C8:34
  • Manufacturer Data: company 9490, data [2, 0, 7, 0, 99, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  • Intiface Central: v3.1.0+42, Device Config v5.3

Problem

The device is detected as monsterpub protocol, but cannot be controlled. Vibration commands have no effect.

Root Cause (from nRF Connect scan)

The device exposes completely different BLE services than what the monsterpub protocol expects:

Actual services on device:

  • 0xFE59 (Secure DFU)
  • 0x1800 (Generic Access)
  • 0x180A (Device Information)
  • 0x9000 (Unknown) ← only custom service
    • 0x9001: NOTIFY, READ, WRITE
    • 0x9002: NOTIFY, READ, WRITE NO RESPONSE

Expected by monsterpub protocol:

  • 0x6000 (tx, txmode, txvibrate, generic0) ❌ missing
  • 0x6010 (rxblemodel) ❌ missing
  • 0x8000 (rx for auth) ❌ missing

Since service 0x6010 is missing, rxblemodel read fails and identifier becomes "Unknown". Since service 0x8000 is missing, authentication is skipped. Since service 0x6000 is missing, no vibration commands can be sent.

This appears to be a newer firmware revision that uses a different BLE service layout (0x9000 series instead of 0x6000 series).
