Additional automation triggers TRV

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello!

New to Home Assistant so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.

I have several Zigbee Tuya TRV valves TS0601 - TZE200_mudxchsu added to ZHA and they use Quirk: zhaquirks.tuya.ts0601_trv.ZonnsmartTV01_ZG.

Temperature control and reporting works fine, I then want to build an automation to fire up the boiler when there is a heat demand from the TRV, but to do this I need a trigger.

There is a Pi heating demand value changes but building an automation around this never fires.

In manage Zigbee device there is a cluster 0x0201 with the attribute 0x001e which is called running_mode, this switches between RunningMode.Heat and RunningMode.Off, is it possible to have an automation which runs when this changes, and if so, how would I go about this?

I have also tried adding the same devices via MQTT, and have a similar problem.

Thanks in advance for any help for a newbie!

Hi there,

Rookie error, have now found out that the trigger needs to be set based on the Entity rather than the Device, when I do that I can select the state of the thermostat entity and select the ‘Current action’ attribute which will show as Heating or Idle.

Thought I would update just in case anyone else makes the same mistake.
