right, those battery operated devices can be tricky. not only the cheap chinese ones, I have some Fibaro devices that drop battery status from 100% to 0% in just one day, others reported online with 100% battery but already dead as the battery was gone…
my zwave network is still weired, spirit and coolcam devices are now included and known by their type/model, so thats fine. unfortunately they don’t report any changes and don’t list to commands.
eg. node 69 reports this when manually waked up, but the related items don’t get any updates…

Habmin shows a little more status information:
I would simply factory reset all devices including the zwave stick, but some of my devices are mounted behind wall-switches which will be a fight to get to the HW reset button…
there was a zwave logging tool some time ago, but that link doesn’t exist anymore. is there a tool to further debug my problem?
did you try to activate DEBUG log to see which updates are being sent on which channels?
Here’s how to do so: https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/openhab/5-zwave-debugging-openhab 1
Also the Log Viewer at https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/openhab/zwave-log-viewer 2 is very helpful for understanding the log messages.
