zwave-js-ui VS addon-zwave-js-ui

The software I want to compile is open source. On the GitHub page below the author provides a copy of the source code as well as the compiled exe file. https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases

It's a bit convoluted. That's the ZWave-JS-UI for HA addon release notes. The note indicates an update to ZWaveJS-UI to v8.8.6. Those release notes say ZWaveJS-Server updates to v1.26. Finally, the ZWaveJS-Server release notes indicate the actual ZWaveJS package is updated to 10.10.0.

If that doesn't work then I would try connecting it to another piece of software like the Z-WaveJSUI software. It's the same thing as the addon that you would find in home assistant but it is standalone self contained windows program that's about 50mb in size. Download the latest version from here then extract the files and run the exe file. Now just type in 127.0.0.1:8091 in your browser to pull up the management webpage. Then you can go to settings and try to connect your USB. I believe you can update the firmware in this software as well but I'm not 100% certain.

Once you have all the hardware you’ll want to setup home assistant. Configure your zwave devices. I used zwavejs2mqtt (but without mqtt) I know very confusing… https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt

However, looking at the githubs for these packages: * sonarr: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/ * pihole: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole * zwavejs2mqtt: https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt

I recently deployed a small fleet of Dell thin clients around my house to run zwavejs2mqtt[1] via docker. I decided to use Alpine because the machines have 2GB of ram and 8GB of eMMC storage and I figured Alpine would minimize resource usage. They're working great so far!

/u/Warm_Command7954 is right. You need to map /usr/src/app/store to a folder outside of the container or you will lose your configs on every update. This might help.

This is an upcoming feature that is in development. https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt/pull/2205

Where did you see this? I can't see it here: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui am I looking in the wrong place?

We’ve also been planning to start using a couple of Z-Wave devices and I think now is the time to finally do so. As part of this, I’m thinking I’ll use the Z-Wave JS to MQTT add-on. It won’t surprise me any at all if I need to try a few different times to get things just right.

FYI, I've been using the ZwaveJS2MQTTin place of the official ZwaveJS add-on. You can either use it and send your devices to MQTT or set it to work just like the official ZwaveJS addd-on. Either way, you get a GUI to look at your devices, add, remove and change settings.
