Platform information:
- Hardware: raspberry PI 4 / 32GiB

- openHAB version: openhab/openhab:3.0.0
Issue:
After upgrading to openhab 3.0.0, I noticed that one of my rules was not taking effect. After further investigation, I realized that it’s due to openhab not getting an ItemStateChangedEvent when I turned the light on/off from the light switch on the wall. The rule basically takes the level of the dimmer and copies it to another dimmer. I verified that the rule is operating correctly by setting the level of the Office_Main dimmer from the item page in the GUI, and seeing that the change is reflected in the mirrored device Office_SmartPlug_Dimmer.
If I instead configure the item using the GUI (after removing it from zwave.items), everything behaves as expected (I see ItemStateChangedEvent, and the rule takes effect when operated from the wall switch or the GUI item page).
How would I debug this further, or if not, how would I achieve the same configuration using an items file as from the GUI? Is file-based configuration still suggested / supported?
Please post configurations (if applicable):

When things are working properly, there are no events emitted when I hit the light switch on the wall. When I define the item using the GUI, however, I see the expected:
