OZW climate - TRV with single setpoint reports wrong state

[alex3305]

The problem

With the new OZW integration single setpoint devices (such as Danfoss Z TRV) have a default HVAC mode set to Heating as fixed in #36541. This makes the device always report Heating as it's state, even if this is not the case.

As you can see in the screenshot below. The device itself is reporting Heating, with a setpoint temperature of 18.5, while the current temperature is 24 degrees centigrade.

As already confirmed, the device doesn't report its current action so home assistant is behaving correctly by not reporting any action. Until the device reports its action, there's nothing to fix.

@MartinHjelmare I reworked this issue into the real issue. That is that Home Assistant is currently reporting the wrong state for these kinds of devices. The state as reported is Heating, but this is simply not always the case. Can you re-open this issue?

[MartinHjelmare]

The climate entity state represents the mode of the device, ie what the device is set to do, eg heat, cool or auto. It does not represent what the device is currently doing, ie the action of the device, eg trying to heat, trying to cool, idle.

If the device only has a single mode, heat, the entity reports that correctly.
