I noticed recently after an HA update that a new entity has appeared for all my Aeotec multisensor 6 devices - these are labelled Sensor…Basic Some of them are in the On state and some in the Off state. In developer tools, I can see this for the values of an On state item.
supported_color_modes:
- brightness
color_mode: brightness
brightness: 657
friendly_name: Sensor-BR-Bedroom Basic
supported_features: 0
Any ideas what this is all about - I turned one of the off states to On and now cannot turn it off again.

Wondering exactly the same now after updating to the latest Z-Wave JS. Any further thoughts on this, anyone?

This is the thread you’re looking for.
After updating HA Core to 2023.11.0, all of my z-wave light switches now have an extra “Basic” entity.
E.g., my “Hall Light” now also has a “Hall Light Basic”.
My lights are GE 14294 / ZW3005 (dimmers) and 14291 / ZW4005 (switches).
A few other zwave devices also got them. I.e., my ring door sensors (4SD2SZ-0EN0), and some motion sensors, etc… it might actually be all og my zwave devices? Not sure.
It is not clear to me what this “Basic” thing is, or what I might use it for.
For the light…
In short it was a compliance code change and if you dont need it disable the basic entity
