Cannot trigger automation with Zen32 scene controller using entities

Configuration Z-Wave
,
1

I am using a Zooz Zen32 scene controller and I cannot seem to be able to trigger automations using entities. I am able to make it work by setting up the trigger by device. below are the yaml for both automations. The only way I am able to make the entity method work is changing the event type to KeyHeldDown. The keypressed and keypressedx2-5 event types do not trigger. I am only guessing that the entity method needs the keypressed event type to be persistent, since the state of the entity only changes to keypressed for a split second when pressing the physical button on the switch. For KeyHeldDown, it stays in that state for the duration that I hold the button down. I think I would have to build all the automation triggers by device, but I understand using entities is best practice. Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction.

You won’t get a state change if the event is a repeat keypress.
