Update: Rolling back to 2.3.3.140 has fixed my thermostat problems. Since the thermostat is operating as expected and my rules are working, my conclusion is that there is a regression in the 2.3.4.x versions causing this issue.
Additional information: It seems like my mode change fires and the thermostat setpoints change, then revert, then change again or if not, my rules to check then fire and set the thermostat to the proper temperatures. Here is a portion of the Zen's Events log:

With 2.3.3.140, my rules worked to catch the Zen's reverting back to the previous settings and corrected them. With 2.3.4.x, the failure is not caught or corrected, leaving the Zen at the wrong settings for the away, home, or night modes.
The reverting of temperature setpoints was the original reason I switched from the Radio Thermostat to the Zen Zigbee Edition. It has been working reliably once I got the rules in place until the 2.3.4.x updates.
I have a Zen thermostat, I'll see if I can reproduce this.
Thanks Mike.

Hub is a C7 hub. I downgraded the Platform to 2.2.3.140 which is working. The Zen was not responding to Mode changes nor to my automation rules. I could force it by going into the rule and using the Run Actions button, but even then, it took multiple presses before the thermostat device page showed the correct heat and cool settings. What alerted me to problems was when the thermostat mode changed without me doing anything to change it.
Unfortunately, I don't know what else I could do to help diagnose the problem. If there is something, please let me know.
My Zen thermostat was acting strange on 2.3.4 also. Didn't have time to look into it at the time I ended up rolling back to 2.3.3
The thermostat behavior looks to have settled down to normal. My thermostat rule which changes the setpoints for away, home, and night fired on time at 23:00 last night and at 07:30 this morning and the thermostat changed with no reverting back to the prior setting. I should have thought to check the parent/child information to see if the routing changed when it was not behaving with 2.3.4.x which might also be an explanation for the anomalous behavior.
So far I've been unable to reproduce the issue, if the issue returns, can you switch to the generic zigbee thermostat driver (do not run configure after the change) and see if the behavior is different?
Update:, this looks to be a bug in the driver when in auto mode, why its apparently working differently with platform versions is unknown.
Still please try the generic driver as it updates the setpoints differently and likely won't have the issue the zen is.

Okay. I switched to the Generic Zigbee Thermostat driver. I did not run configure, but I did hit refresh. I'll see how it runs. If it looks stable, I will try the 3.4.4.x upgrade again.

@mike.maxwell Thank you. Switching to the generic driver looks like it fixed the problem. I updated to the 2.3.4.134 platform, and my thermostat is behaving normally. Hopefully, the Zen driver can be fixed as well.

@mike.maxwell Apparently, it is not solved. Here I am at 07:45 and my thermostat is still at the night settings. The settings should have changed at 07:30 and been checked and changed at 07:32. While I was writing, my 07:47 check happened and the thermostat finally changed.
The Events of the thermostat show that the command was sent at 07:30 and the thermostat changed, then reverted back to the night settings. The check fired at 07:32 and the thermostat changed and again reverted back to night settings. The check fired again at 07:47 and this time the thermostat changed and stayed at the day settings.
I am going to revert back to 2.3.3.140 where it was working reliably. Something is going on in the 2.3.4.x platform.

Edit: I need to add that my two hubs are wired to the router with Cat 5e cable.
Ill dm you later today with next steps.
I did not see a DM. Please update me on the next steps. Was this addressed in the 2.3.4.138 release I saw today?
I'm testing some driver updates internally, i thought it was ready yesterday, but I was wrong...
