core: ZHA: Centralite Pearl Thermostat – Incorrect state reported

The problem

I have two Centralite Pearl thermostats that I installed recently. I have them working with the ZHA integration, however, I’ve noticed that the correct hvac_action is never reported. This value remains idle regardless of the current state of the actual heater.

I have my Sequence of Operations set to Heat Only as I do not have A/C – heating only. I’m not sure if this would impact things or not, but I do have the jumper that connects the HEATING/COOLING POWER lines left in. Seems like something weird is going on under the hood. I know from other issues I’ve found that this has worked for others https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/36997

Looks like the culprit is the “3157100-E” model name. As currently only “3157100” Centralite model uses the “Running State” attribute to tell the HVAC action. I’ll submit a PR.

I’m running into this issue as well (hvac_action state is always idle). Centralite Pearl 3157100 with firmware 0x04075010 (note that this is the same configuration as @vj950’s “good” one in the comment above).

I’m also new to debugging things at this level in HA but am willing to dive in and help gather info and test patches. Looking to deploy many more of these as they seem to be the best option for a battery powered Zigbee thermostat.
