@dannywi11imas - I think you may be over complicating this.
I have a similar set up to you and for the none time-sensitive stuff I use HA automation’s (most via node-red). Where I need an instant reaction I have used native hive automation’s. An example would be where I trigger a light when a motion sensor is tripped. Using HA (as @rendili points out) can take up to two minutes. The states eventually catch up in HA and Homekit.
Also, to answer your other question I think Hive uses Zigbee and not Zwave.
I was working with a couple of people with US thermostats to get the required data to update the code and carry out some testing, but I think they have not had the time to test the latest dev code recently, so it has been on pause for a while now.
I think though due to a library update and then a recent update to fix a bug in home assistant with hive I think there should now be more support in home assistant for US thermostats in the latest version allowing the thermostat at least to be added and for temperatures to be reported correctly?
Hey, yeah! They’re showing up now (as “ Heating” and showing the correct temperature. I missed them in the unused entities after the last update. You just can’t control them nor do they have cooling mode or fan mode. Need any data? I’d be happy to provide.
Saw someone for another project was also trying to get into the Hive thermostat zigbee directly. Which would be great to get around the 1 minute API limit and in general being freed from non-local API reliance. Excited to follow that progress
Hi, I’m new to this. Installed Home Assistant 0.108.2 and trying to install Hive. Copied files into relevant structure, config file is fine, rebooted and getting these errrors:

I’m only a hobbyist but just looking back at the original error log you posted - you have several errors across - python, home assistant and hive. What are you running HA on - Hass.io or something else?
@gadgethome have you added any new devices or changed your physical hive setup? It seems to be failing matching the parent device for a heating device.
