As I migrate toward Z-wave switches that use Central Scenes, like that of the Homeseer line of switches, I am becoming increasingly reliant upon Events to activate Z-wave scenes. The challenge I've run into is that it the Z-Wave action "Activate a scene" will not trigger "Z-Wave scene activated" events.
While HS3's event system is flexible enough that I can work around this, my expectation is that the "Activate a scene" action would trigger "Z-wave scene activated events".
I've tested this on Z-wave plugin versions 3.0.1.130, 3.0.1.137, and 3.0.1.140.

- Create a Z-Wave scene "My Test Scene" with one or more devices
- Create an event, "Event 1" with the Z-Wave Action "Activate a scene", and select "My Test Scene"
- Create an event, "Event 2" that is triggered by "Z-Wave Scene Activated", and select "My Test Scene", and have it take some action (in my case, set a virtual switch to On).
- "Event 2" will not trigger as a result of an event's Z-Wave action to "Activate a scene", as might be done with "Event 1".
- "Event 2" will trigger if a Z-wave device directly activates "My Test Scene".. In my case, I was able to do this with a Cooper 5-button scene controller.
