My Heiman HS1SA-Z smoke detectors often do not trigger when the test button is pressed.
Below is the contents of the yamel file for automation of a smoke detector:

The binary_sensor.smokedetector_…_smoke_detected trigger often does not trigger when I press the test button but sometimes it does. It also happens that the trigger goes off but then stays on. The value then does not go back to “off” but stays on “on”. I am using addon “Z-Wave JS”. I have connected 4 sensors without problems but all 4 have the same problem with the trigger.
If the value of this trigger is “on” then the sensor state value is always “Smoke detected” and if this trigger has the value “off” then the sensor state value is always the “idle”. See screenshots below:
