core: Duplicate lights, sensors for single Z-Wave Motion Dimmer (GE/Jasco 26933)

Home Assistant release with the issue:

0.85.0

Last working Home Assistant release (if known): unknown

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5, fresh install a week ago

Component/platform:

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/

Description of problem: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ge-jasco-26933-issues/22738 When adding a GE / Jasco 26933 Motion Dimmer device via Z-Wave “Add Node”, the Z-Wave component adds one (1) new NodeID for the device but Home Assistant creates multiple duplicates:

On the Home Assistant side, the light component of the device, as well as the motion and other sensor components, appear 2-3 times as duplicates. This makes the devices practically unusable, as it is unclear which light of the two to switch or which sensor to query or respond to. The duplicate lights also appear to not share the same state.

This seems to be a known issue since 2017, that some people in the forum attribute to the different operating modes of the motion dimmer (Occupancy, Vacancy, and Manual mode). No real workaround has been found for this attractive and useful device.

The folks around SmartThings seem to have found a solution to this problem in the form of a custom DTH: http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=GE_Z-Wave_Motion_Sensor_Dimmer_Switch Their code can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaelStruck/SmartThingsPublic/master/devicetypes/michaelstruck/ge-motion-dimmer-switch-26933.src/ge-motion-dimmer-switch-26933.groovy

Ideally, HA would only create one entry for the light and sensor components.
