Hi,

Since my migration from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT my Acova Alcantara 2 radiators facing incorrect behavior using Home Assistant Thermostat card

On ZHA (normal behavior) :

Off :

Developer tools > States :

State : off
State attributes (YAML) :

hvac_modes:
  - "off"
  - heat
min_temp: 7
max_temp: 28
current_temperature: null
temperature: null
hvac_action: "off"
occupancy: 1
occupied_cooling_setpoint: 2600

system_mode: "[<SystemMode.Off: 0>]/off"
unoccupied_heating_setpoint: 1550
friendly_name: Radiateur Bureau

  • current_temperature is always null because the radiator cannot return mesured current temperature
  • temperature becomes null when hvac_action is "off"
  • hvac_action becomes "off"
