#Lock Jammed Automation

I have Kwikset HomeConnect 620 (HC620) Z-Wave locks which are working fine. I created an automation to send me a notification whenever one of the locks jams. However, those automations never trigger. I think this is because the Z-Wave integration isn't complete. Here's the evidence:

  1. When I click the link to the Z-Wave Device Database from the configuration, it links to https://devices.zwave-js.io/?jumpTo=0x0090:0x0811:0x03a8:0.0 which doesn't have any alarm mappings. If you look at some other Kwikset products like model 910 (https://devices.zwave-js.io/?jumpTo=0x0090:0x0001:0x0001:0.0), they have alarm configurations.

  2. When I turn on Z-Wave JS debug mode and force a jam event, I see "V1 alarm type: 23" events in the HA log from these HC620 locks that have the message "RF not fully locked operation". This is identical to what's defined in the model 910 alarm configuration: Alarm type 23 which maps to RF not fully locked operation (0x08).

So the locks are generating the alarm but HA can't "hear" it because it's unknown based on the missing alarm configuration. The question I have is: should I try to fix the alarm configuration myself or should I add a low-level zwave_js_notification automation that catches these messages and translates that into a helper that tracks the jammed state? If there's a better channel for this question, let me know.
