Describe the bug

MR40Z button scene controller will not send the button push event to MQTT. We have no way to trigger an automation in Home Assistant.

Here is the device:

To Reproduce

Expected behavior

should send the button push events

Additional context

none

should send the button push events

Do you see this events in node events tab? Did you check under basic cc? Do you have mqtt explorer?

[jpoeppelman1]

The events are not coming through. I use Node Red and there is no entity I can listen to when triggering an automation. All other scene controllers work fine. Check out the screen shot below. There should be a button action entity registered in HA.

I mean in zwave-js-ui, click on a node, expand it, go to events tab and see if the event is shown on that list.

If it is there I suggest to use mqtt explorer to detect the topic where that event is published. On the HA side I cannot help so much as I don't use HA

It certainly sounds like you're using HA and the Z-Wave integration, based on the screen shot, not MQTT. In that case you should be consulting the integration docs. Scene controllers send events, they are not entities.

[jpoeppelman1]

You are correct, the events are coming through but HA is not creating an entity for the button action. I will report this to HA team. Thank you! BTW, great job with this zwave software!

[kpine]

There are no entities created for the button action, it is not a bug. Use the events.

[jpoeppelman1]

In other scene controllers, there is an entity created in HA that stores the last button action. Tuya devices are a good example of this.

[kpine]

They are different integrations. The Z-Wave integration does not create entities. Use the events as indicated in the docs.

[jpoeppelman1]

Okay, thanks for all the help. Apologies for the confusion. You may close the issue.

[kpine]

You're free to submit an issue to HA as you choose, but just letting you know it probably won't go anywhere. The events are by design. It is a nuisance that integrations approach this in different ways. IMO Tuya has it wrong.
