Kwikset 916 z-wave deadbolt - "current status of the door"

Configuration Z-Wave

i have multiple instances of Kwikset model 916 deadbolt installed. When I add these devices, ZWave-JS creates a sensor entity called “current status of the door”.

This suggests that maybe it should be capable of reporting the open/close state of the door without my needing to add another sensor for this. It totally makes sense that this should exist. However for all of the instances of this device, the entity never seems to change from the “open” state. in other words, it seems like this device doesn’t actually support this sensor. My conclusion is I should probably just disable all of these sensors in HomeAssistant, but before doing so I just wanted to check I was not missing something about how these were supposed to work. It might even be the case that these were initially not enabled, and I (wishfully) enabled them some time ago and just don’t remember…

So I’m just checking - does anyone see any useful data from Kwikset 916 (or 888)?

My Kwikset HC620 can never seem to even report bolt status

I think the current status of the door sensor is meant to show whether the door is opened or closed. This should only show up on devices that have a door sensor. I don’t think the 916 has a door sensor so I would perform a device re-interview to see if it goes away. If it doesn’t you can try to disable the entity or delete it.
