No, TCP TRV is Tuya, so the control commands are very different
Aqara E1 TRV uses the standard ZCL clusters, that’s why the basic functions work with HE inbuilt thermostat driver.
But Stu is facing some unexpected Zigbee connectivity problems.
Hi @kkossev, i've paired a few times and i'm situated next to the hub but all appears to be the same. I'm at my computer now, so see more detailed logs.Do the logs provide any more insight to my issue?...Stu

Oh wow, I've tried again and it's working great @kkossev. Just 2 questions I'd you can help. Is there a way to change the temperature which the TRV is reading. I.e. a temperature offset? It's currently reading the room to be 30.9 degrees which is completely not true.
Secondly, is there a way for the TRV to display the room temperature. I.e. what temperature do I need to adjust the setpoint to if I don't actually know what the room temperature currently is?
Hey Stu, I am glad you make it pair! Some devices are really hard to pair to HE, including this Aqara E1 thermostat ...
Keep in mind that this driver is not ready yet. I hope I will have the time to go back to working on it before the 15th of September, when I will go on a late vacation.. : )
The temperature reading may be too high if you have held it on your hands for some time.. I really don't know much about this TRV at the moment. Also, check the batteries - 2.2V is too low?
Once you have it paired, you can switch to HE inbuilt Generic Thermostat driver - others are saying that the basic functionalities are working.
@kkossev you are an absolute superstar! I'm elated that this is now working, I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am.
I really look forward to your driver as there are a few unanswered questions regards this TRV.
I've added rechargeable batteries to the TRV, for some reason, they always seem to show lower battery strength, I've witnessed this with other devices so I'll swap them out for conventional batteries.
The temperature is dropping slowly which would imply that the TRV isnt ultra fast acting to temperature changes, however I guess the rate of change is inline with general room temperature rises and falls. My TRV started at such a high temperature because I had it stored next to my hub which was actually in my boiler room. Oops.
That said, I've found the ability to change temperature offsets useful in the past on my Hue outdoor motion sensors and my internal smarthings motion sensors which both measure temperature.
In summary, I'm extremely grateful for your help on this matter. You've taken away a weeks frustrations👍

@dandanache - moving the conversation here :
Yes, this is exactly the setup which is best controlled by individual electronic thermostat radiator valves. There are a lot of different TRVs makes/ models, but we hope that the Aqara one may be better than Tuya's ...
What we believe is an advantage of the Aqara E1 thermostat over the other models is the possibility to use an external temperature sensor for the TRV built-in internal PID algorithm control, not the sensor that is inside the TRV - it is too close to the radiator heat.
This is a long thread of the Z2M implementation and somewhere there was the link to the already reverse-engineered aqara-specific protocol between the TRV and the external temperature sensor.
So there is no such possibility to add aqara thermostat E1 to hubitat with external temperature sensor?
Not at the moment. I mean, there is no HE driver yet.
Any news on a dedicated driver yet? Happy to help with any testing. I have 8 units and also have 8 aqara temperature units too so can test all features.
Omg, does anyone have a faulty one for sale. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and one of my children have stood on it and snapped it so it won't remain on the TRV body. I'd like to make a good one out of 2 broken ones👍
@darren.rockach you can try this test version :
It is still far away from adding an external temperature sensor, but at least allows configuration for a more frequent update of the TRV internal temperature sensor.
It also decodes (only decode!) the Aqara-specific settings :
That's great thank you. I've set it for just a single unit at the moment and everything seems good. 
Hopefully will swap the rest over in a little while.
Better use only one device for the tests...
There is still one major functionality missing - the operating state of the E1 valve - whether the thermostat is in a heating or in an idle (closed valve) mode.
Yesterday I updated the firmware of my Aqara E1 thermostat using Aqara E1 USB hub.
From 0.0.0937 it was updated first to 0.0.0_825 and then again to 0.0.0_1030
As a result, the battery level updates are not working anymore .. : (
Hopefully, these updates are fixing some other issues that we were not aware of.
Aqara does not follow the Zigbee standards even for the firmware version standard commands, so after the updates this driver (and also HE inbuilt drivers) will still show the old version.. This is next thing to fix in this driver when I have a chance.
I am now 99% certain that Aqara E1 thermostat does not send back to the Zigbee coordinator the actual open/closed status of the valve. Which is very disappointing for me, because most of the other TRVs that I have used so far are sending the valve status (open/closed, or even the percentage!). This was very important for me, because I used it in some nice charts in the previous years, and the percentage of the valve opening is a very good indicator of the effectivity of the TRV built-in PID control algorithm... With Aqara we will have to live without this extra.
No news in this case ?
Hi guys, I do like the physical functionality of the Aqara TRV. However, it seems that it doesn't quite tick the boxes in Hubitat.
I love the rotatable temperature dial and how it updates the temperature settings and display, it's very WAF and Child friendly but it doesn't work as we would like in HE.
I had a Moeshouse TRV which was effective, however, the touch screen display on the top was not user friendly and terrible for WAF and Children.
So a question to everyone, is there a similar ZigBee TRV out there which has a rotating dial which updates the TRV display and HE effectively. I.e.a hybrid of the Moe's House and Square TRV. Please help and thanks in advance 
I am slowly switching to TRVs drivers support now... After I finish the work for this Tuya/Moes TRV, will ba back on Aqara.
@stueyhughes what is the most important feature you would like to have implemented for Aqara E1? The external temperature sensor will be the last feature to be added, as it is the most complex... what are the other most important features for you?
For me external temperature sensor

Oh thanks, I'm looking for any TRV with a rotatable head. On the Aqara, it would be great if it displayed the current room temperature, I assume it will do this once the external sensor issue is sorted. Will this be the case?
