Switch from deprecated Z-Wave to Z-Wave JS and now automations are not working

As the topic states, after the switch, I have all my sensors and and switches working and only one automation is not working. Looking for pointers on how to debug this.

First of all:

OS Version: Home Assistant OS 5.12
Home Assistant Core: 2021.2.3

For this automation I have a Dome motion sensor which is detecting the motion as I can see it in the state changes for the entity. It does show as always having detected movement, but does update when I actual cause movement where the switch isL

Looking at the home-assistant.log I don’t see any errors. The Logbook does not show the automation being executed either. If I execute it in the configuration for automations, it shows in the logbook as executing.

Looking for pointers.

Thanks

No one can help you if you don’t at least show the automation code (in yaml, properly formatted) and the current entity id of the sensor and it’s states in the states page.

but the biggest question is why is it always showing as “detected”? is that normal for that sensor?

It wasn’t normal for the deprecated Z-Wave. It started to work overnight somehow. If it continues to be an issue, I will copy the automation yaml. I am wondering how to debug as before I would look into the OZW log. Also, I am guessing if I increased the logging level of home assistant, I might get some more info as well.
