Mind sharing some Z-Wave logs when you press the button?

it looks like its the 'Emergency Alarm[unknown]: 4' update, but that value doesn't clear in home assistant so i can't see when the button is re-pressed

I think the problem may be that Z-Wave JS doesn't support the Panic alert event type, and that it's an event, so it shouldn't be a normal sensor.

interesting -- asked claude for help debugging and this automation event seems to work!

alias: Panic Button Pressed
triggers:

  • event_type: state_changed
    event_data:
    entity_id: sensor.panic_button_2nd_gen_emergency_alarm_unknown
    trigger: event
    actions:
  • data:
    message: PANIC BUTTON PRESSED!
    action: notify.notify
    mode: single

When this is fixed, you may end up with a different event entity, so keep this in mind when updating in the near future.
