Problems with trigger based on a value change on a z-wave js value (works intermittenly)

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I have an automation triggered by the value change on a z-wave js value. The logic is that if a dim level of a dimmer changes, then the automation is triggered.
The problem is that it works for some period of time, then stops. If I look into the trace section I see that it is ignoring the trigger.
If I go to the trigger, change any value (i.e. delete endpoint number and put it back) and save, it works again for some time, then stops.
There is other awkward thing, as the whole automation has two triggers like that, both are stopping at the same time, and you need to “refresh” (edit and save without making any changes) only one to make both work again.

I’ve set the configuration in GUI, in YAML it look like that:

> platform: device
> device_id: [my ID]
> domain: zwave_js
> type: zwave_js.value_updated.value
> id: Lewe_Zmiana
> property: currentValue
> command_class: 38
> enabled: true
> alias: Lewe - zmiana CurrentValue
> endpoint: "0"

Any Idea how I can fix it?

Paste in the automation YAML, properly formatted; and a history graph of the sensor where you think it should have triggered.

If it is ignoring the trigger, there won’t be a trace. Please post a screenshot of what you mean.

The problem is that it is NOT ignoring it for some time, then starts ignoring it until I go to the automation, edit it, and save (without making any real changes)

Below sample with trigger properly registered. After a few hours, the same action (like changing the dim level by physical switch, or via dashboard) will be ignored.

And here is the full automation YAML (including some disabled triggers and automations, I also removed device ID’s):

And here it is the log from z-wave js UI from the triggering device (and as I said before it is triggering the automation for some period of time, then, for unknown reason, stops):

Could it be this bug?

Seems to be similar, though I’m not sure if in my case it is related to the z-wave js addon restart.
In my case it stops working every couple of hours, I don’t recall restarting addon in between, but maybe it is doing that automatically (have to look into logs to see).
And in my case it is enough to go into edit mode in the automation and save to make it work again, but it might be that the author of the issue didn’t get to such workaround.

Update:

It seems to be addressed (and recently solved) in this issue:

It worked for last 2 days without issues, I keep monitoring

8

I just saw that too! Excellent.

Unfortunately it seems to be not addressed fully yet.
Today it stopped working again (it might something to do with the HA Core update which I did today) :frowning:
