The only thing I see in reviewing the ZW DB is that the controller is not automatically put in Lifeline. (group 1). add that and test again.
First I’ll concede that Zwave-js (the zwave “binding” or “Integration”) for HA has more devices configured as the HA user base is bigger. However, any ZW device can be added to the OH binding (like you did in solving this thread). In addition, I have added devices from the OH ZW DB that were missing from Zwave-js ZW DB, so it goes both ways to some degree.
Also possible: I’m using Zwave-js with OH. So have the best of both worlds (IMO).
