I’ve just installed and calibrated my first Aqara E1 radiator thermostat valve.
I’ve not connected it to the Aqara app, I’ve connected it directly with my Home Assistant via Zigbee.
It shows up in Home Assistant perfectly and if I adjust the temperature on the valve itself, it updates on Home Assistant immediately.
However, if I try adjusting the temperature via Home Assistant, nothing happens, and then a few seconds later I get the error:
Failed to perform the action select/select_option. Failed to send request: Failed to send request: <Status.NWK_NO_ROUTE: 205>
Does anyone know what’s causing this?
Edit:
So I found the solution. I had been using Zigbee Home Automation to connect my Zigbee devices to Home Assistant, but switching to Zigbee2MQTT and it now works perfectly!
Now I need to migrate all my devices over from ZHA
