I have an issue after some recent Z-Wave JS UI updates or Home Assistant updates. Here is how it worked before:
ZEN34 button has 2 sensors, for the lower and for the upper paddle. Upon pressing any of them, the sensor value briefly changes to a number, from 0 to 5 (0 = single press, 1 = button held, 2 = button released, 3 = double press, 4 = triple, etc). Between the presses the sensor was back in the Unknown state (or N/A, I don’t remember, but the fact is it wasn’t within the 0…5 digit range).
Now it works almost the same, except for one change: it retains the last number. So if I press it once, it changes to 0 and stays, and if I press it again, it doesn’t trigger the automation which is listening for a sensor state change. I have to either do another physical action with the switch, or listen for MQTT events and catch the value from the message. MQTT method is fine for a temporary workaround, but I will have to update all the automations for all the switches, which is some additional work I’m trying to avoid if this can be fixed 
I’d be glad to submit a bug report, but I’m not sure if it’s a Home Assistant or Z-Wave JS UI behavior issue.
