Running Hive thermostat through ZHA - issues with going idle

Hi,
It is, I followed the steps in the link below.

In case that doesn’t work:

  1. Remove the thermostat from the wall and remove a battery
  2. Turn boiler off, then on again
  3. Hold down central heating button on the boiler receiver until light turns pink then release
  4. Hold down the central heating button again until the light turns amber with double flashing
  5. Pair with Home Assistant - I will be using ZHA’s ‘add device’
  6. At this point the amber flash may change to a single flash
  7. Stop ZHA from searching for devices by pressing back
  8. Replace the battery in the thermostat and allow to boot
  9. Press and hold the menu and back buttons, allow the countdown to finish and release when you see welcome - after selecting a language, it will enter pairing mode.
  10. On ZHA select the boiler device you added earlier, now click “ADD DEVICES VIA THIS DEVICE”
  11. The thermostat should now pair to the boiler receiver. The amber light should turn green.

Other than the issue with signal that I’ve just discovered it’s worked a lot better than through the Hive integrations.
