The version of the addon is 0.1.10. The addon provides the zwave-js driver library and the zwave-js server application. Those components have their own versioning. The 0.1.10 addon does not provide the latest zwave-js versions. You can see the zwave-js versions in use in the integration configuration page.
Unfortunately, the update only increases the server version to 1.1.1. The driver version is still 6.5.0. If you want something that updates more frequently, try the zwavejs2mqtt community addon.
I installed ZWaveJS2mqtt. It’s much better with lots of cool features. It took a while but it finally recognized all my devices. I will play with it some more…
ZWave-JS now can see the device. However, something isn’t right. It discovered two entities, but they are wrong:
They show a Battery Level and Battery Low binary sensor. When I click on one of the buttons, these values change randomly. They are clearly not showing battery levels. In the logs, I do get a Central Scene Notification, but no binary entities are created. I could see that the payload is different from pushing one of the buttons. Is there a way to use this to create a scene or activate a device?:
Yes, that seems to work when I listen to zwave_js_event. I will try that as well, although I’m not that familiar with triggering automations based on events data.
