Zwave Event Bus Mystery

Could anyone explain zwave node events and why I wouldn’t be receiving them when the OZW log shows a basic report was received?

I’ve been working on an automation for a Aeotec LED bulb. The socket it’s in has a dumb switch. I’d like to write an automation against a physical power on. I changed the lifeline parameter on the bulb to send a basic report instead of a hail. I can see it in the log, Info, Node010, Received Basic report from node 10: level=42. In node event examples I usually see such a line trailing with Sending event notification. In my case I don’t see that.

I’m using HA 0.53.1. I’ve also considered working out an automation against the zwave node’s dead state changing to anything else. Unfortunately it never reports as dead. Polling at 60 seconds with polling_intensity set to 1 doesn’t change this. At some point I think it worked with a 10 second polling interval but that’s a bit too much to accept as a final solution.
