[Zigbee] Thermostat TZE200_9xfjixap recognized as button in Homey Pro

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m trying to integrate a Zigbee thermostat model _TZE200_9xfjixap (TS0601) directly with Homey Pro (2023) —
:backhand_index_pointing_right: without using the Tuya Cloud app.

When paired through Homey’s native Zigbee inclusion, the device connects successfully but is recognized only as a generic “button”, so no thermostat capabilities are available.

:gear: My setup

  • Device: Zigbee thermostat _TZE200_9xfjixap (Tuya TS0601 family)

  • Integration: native Zigbee (not Tuya Cloud)

  • Homey version: Pro 2023 – latest firmware

  • Pairing: Add device → Zigbee → Generic Zigbee Device

:light_bulb: Current behavior

  • Device pairs correctly.

  • Identified as “button”.

  • No temperature, target-temperature, or HVAC-mode capabilities appear.

  • In Developer Tools → Zigbee → Interview Data it reports:

    manufacturerName: "_TZE200_9xfjixap"
productId: "TS0601"
endpoint: 1

:white_check_mark: Expected behavior / feature request

Please add a proper device mapping for this thermostat in Homey’s Zigbee driver so it behaves as a climate/thermostat device.

For reference, Home Assistant’s Zigbee integration (ZHA) exposes the following entities and controls for this model and similar Tuya TS0601 thermostats:

Entity / Control Description
current_temperature Current room temperature
target_temperature Adjustable setpoint (5 – 35 °C, step 0.5 °C)
hvac_modes off, heat, auto
preset_mode Manual / Schedule / Eco / Comfort
child_lock On/Off
temperature_calibration ±9.9 °C
window_detection Enable/disable
anti_frost Enable/disable
sensor_mode Internal / External / Both
heating_mode Manual / Auto / Temporary hold
backlight / beep Optional switches if supported

This is the typical DP-based feature set of Tuya TS0601 thermostats; mapping these data points to Homey’s measure_temperature, target_temperature, thermostat_mode, onoff, and relevant settings would enable full functionality without relying on Tuya Cloud.

:puzzle_piece: Summary

What happens now:
:check_mark: Pairs via Zigbee → :cross_mark: recognized only as Button.

What I’d like to achieve:
:right_arrow: Native Zigbee thermostat support, exposing temperature, setpoint, mode, and lock features.

I can provide:

  • Full Zigbee interview data (clusters/endpoints)

  • Data-point mapping from HA or Tuya IoT

  • Device photos

Thanks a lot :folded_hands: — this thermostat is widely sold in Europe under various brands, and adding direct Zigbee support (no cloud) would really help many users.

I wish there was a way of filtering out every one of these unnecessarily elaborate, LLM-generated, “issue reports”… :tired_face:

And besides, Athom will never implement Tuya device support in the generic Zigbee driver anyway.
