I have a Zen ZigBee thermostat. I successfully paired it with the hub but no matter which driver I try it is shown as an unknown device under the devices list or the dashboard.
Just as a test, I have also paired a Resideo T6 Z-Wave thermostat and it instantly showed up as a thermostat.
I had the same issue with Building36 temperature sensors. In the screenshot you will see 2 of them. One shows the current temperature in the dashboard, the other is shown as an unknown device. I tried the same drivers for both.
I found a driver called "Zen Thermostat" in the Type dropdown list.

What Dashboard template are you using for the device? The driver mentioned above is correct, but your problem could just as easily be the wrong Dashboard tile ("Thermostat" is a logical template, but you could use anything that shows you the specific attributes you're looking for if you don't want control). To check or edit this, click or tap the three-dots icon in the upper right of the tile, and verify what you have chosen under "Pick a template."

I have thermostat as the template. Same template I used for the other thermostat.
I have a Zen showing this way using the Thermostat template on a dashboard:
The thermostat is actually in a box, not using it, but this is how it looked before boxing up. Not sure why yours
Can you post screen shots of the ntherostat entry on the Device list and on the Dashboard? I'd like to see what the "unknown device" listing looks like.
It won't let me post screenshots. Here is the link to the screenshot (replace [dot] with .)

For others, here's the dashboard cap you posted in the link above. Do you have a shot of the device from its device page similar to @eppower's post?
I tried "Generic ZigBee Thermostat" device type as well but I had the same issue.
Where on the Device list do you see "Unknown Device?" for the thermostat - screen shot of that?
Have you tried creating a new dashboard and only adding the thermostat to it using the Thermostat template, and see if it appears properly there?
Yes, I did. Here is the screenshot. It is still unknown. I have also tried to unpair and pair multiple times but I had the same issue. I wonder if the ZigBee chip is defective.
Here is the screenshot from the device page, The current states part is empty.
This is the screenshot of the other Honeywell/ Resideo T6 Z-Wave thermostat for comparison.
Thank you for all the help!
This is the problem--Dashboard is just a side effect of that, as it would read the same attribute values you (don't) see there. Does hitting the "Refresh" button do anything? If not, it's likely your thermostat either fell off the network for some reason (bad batteries? lost C-wire connection? out of range?) or never finished pairing properly. You could try re-pairing it to see if that helps. If you manually switched to this driver, I'd recommend hitting "Configure" before trying anything else just to see if that helps.
A tip if you do re-pair: for Zigbee devices, if you don't remove the device from Hubitat first (and just reset the real-world device), then Hubitat should recognize it as the same device. This means you won't have to re-do your Dashboard (or any other apps) to swap out the device. But you could remove it from Hubitat, too--either way will work. This just might be less effort. You used to see a "Previously joined device" box appear, similar to a new device, on the pairing screen when this happened, but some people have been reporting that it's just silently re-paired without showing anything here recently. Just something to keep in mind if you try this approach.

Can you replace the current driver that you are using with the driver named Device, then click the getInfo command?, there will be an entry in the live logs starting with Fingerprint, please paste that here so I can have a look at it, thanks.

What was in the log file after you clicked getInfo? When I grab a device fingerprint for my Zen thermostat, my logs have the following:
