## Special Z-Wave entities
|
||||
|
||||
The Z-Wave integration provides several special entities, some of which are available for every Z-Wave device, and some of which are conditional based on the device.
|
||||
|
||||
### Entities available for every Z-Wave device
|
||||
|
||||
1. Node status sensor - This sensor, which is disabled by default, shows the node status for a given Z-Wave device. The available node statuses are explained in the [Z-Wave JS documentation](https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/api/node?id=status) and can be used in state change automations to e.g. ping a device when it is dead, or refresh values when it wakes up.
|
||||
2. Ping button - This button can be pressed to ping a device and is an alternative to the `zwave_js.ping` service.
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional entities
|
||||
|
||||
1. Button to manually idle notifications - Any Notification CC values on a device that have an `idle` state will get a corresponding button entity. This button entity can be used to manually idle a notification when it doesn't automatically clear on its own.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using advanced features (UI only)
|
||||
|
||||
While the integration aims to provide as much functionality as possible through existing Home Assistant constructs (entities, states, automations, services, etc.), there are some features that are only available through the UI.
