Hello,
After updating to 2021.4 today I went ahead and migrated from the depreciated Z-wave addon to ZWave JS.
Everything works as expected, except from when I try listening to zwave_js_event in order to configure some scenes coming from a Fibaro Dimmer 2. Nothing at all shows up when listening to ‘zwave_js_event’.
Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? I have tried rebooting the host system after configuring everything, but it did not solve the issue.
I got the same problem as well with the new “zwave_js_value_notification” event. No output when I try to listen for my central scene activity. Also upgraded to the new version today.
Working in Node Red, listening to: zwave_js_value_notification
Tried inside NR now - same problem. Nothing outputs. I do see activity in the zwave log itself. But no events.

Always check the breaking changes of release notes when you upgrade. The event name has changed.

This is my response in Node Red on event type “zwave_js_value_notification” from an Fibaro Dimmer2:

I only receive events on “zwave_js_notification”

But nothing at all on “zwave_js_value_notification”.
I have no events coming through on anything! My devices are reporting, although it doesn’t seem correctly after upgrading to 2021.4
Trying a cold reboot to see if that helps.
Edit: Cold reboot did not help. Can’t listen to any events from zwave JS 
My Danalock sends events on “zwave_js_notification” and my fibaro units sends events on “zwave_js_value_notification” As listed in the documentation
And you were listening to the zwave_js_event prior to upgrading?
Yes, now I get no events when listening for zwave_js_event, zwave_js_notification and zwave_js_value_notification.
I have now tried removing the integration, uninstalling the server from the supervisor and reinstalling. Still getting nothing.
I have also tried to uninstall and install zwave.js - same problem. Everything was working OK through zwave_js_event before this upgrade.
I have also tried watching * events to no avail. Just shows me the service call and no zwave events.
As for Fibaro Dimmer 2 I got it working by listening to “zwave_js_value_notification”, but remember to set “Scene activation functionality” to yes in the new ZWave JS device configuration for the dimmer prior(Fibaro Dimmer 2 spesific).
If you have that used in an automation, reload the automations. That’s what worked for me.
I too had trouble with this and had to monitor *, and I see the following events.
"event_type": "zwave_js_notification",
"event_type": "zwave_js_value_notification",
Once I saw the event_type, I setup automations to trigger based on these, I can now go into Dev Tools > Events and filter on these event_types:
This is exactly what isn’t working. No events show in the event listener as per my post above.
I see zwave_js_notification events like you do but my automation, which used to work, does not trigger.
- id: '1614992678575'
alias: Back Door Unlock
description: My comment
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: zwave_js_notification
context: {}
event_data:
device_id: ca0ce3f263ada0b01763c19fe3a0e2a6
label: Manual unlock operation
condition: []
action:
- service: input_text.set_value
data:
value: Manual Unlock
target:
entity_id: input_text.lock_last_action
mode: single
In the above I only changed zwave_js_event to zwave_js_notification. What else am I missing?
I just found my own solution. In the above automation trigger section I had to change label to event_label. Now the automation will trigger.
