In order for Home Assistant to recognize well the sensor, you will need to change its configuration from `Basic Set (default)` to `Binary Sensor report` or `Alarm report`. Currently there's no way to do this in Home Assistant but you can use ozwcp (OpenZWave control panel), Domoticz or similar to do it
15+
These devices will either show as a binary sensor or a sensor called `Alarm xxxx` and will report a numeric value. Test to see what value is what. Sometimes this is noted in the device manual.

These devices require a network key to be set for the zwave network before they are paired. This key is set in OpenZwave's `options.xml` which is located in Open Zwave's directory. This should also be the same directory as `config_path:` in your `configuration.yaml`. If it's not, make sure you have the same values in all the files you are using.
21+
The option is commented by default in `options.xml` and is a default key. Make your own unique key. The key is in Hexadecimals.
22+
It is best to pair these devices in Open Zwave Control Panel or other Zwave tool that can show you logs while pairing. Test the device before you save the configuration.
23+
Make sure you copy the newly saved `zwcfg_[home_id].xml`into your HomeAssistant config directory.
