Help! I just upgraded to 2025.8.0 and now my zwave is broken. When go to Integrations, there is no way to upgrade the zwave integration! What is going on? How to I fix this?!
For anyone to be able to help you’ll need to tell more about what install type of HA you are using, and what integration you use for z-wave, and what version that is. Most likely culprit is at the bottom of the breaking changes in the release notes:
Do you have a backup of your instance before it broke? Stored somewhere other than on the host for HA? if so make sure you have it, plus the emergency kit with the backup encryption key. You my want to use them if all else fails.
Hi. I’m running Home Assistant Core. I’m about to restore from backup since the latest version seems VERY buggy.
I’ve participated in the beta, I also use HA core, I have lots of z-wave. I can’t say this release seems very buggy at all. But you have not answered my questions about z-wave. Is is z-wave js, where do you run the z-wave js server, when was the last time you updated that? Did you read the release notes before updating?
Also, the system outright REFUSES to allow me to upgrade the zwave integration.
I’ve gone to the Z-Wave JS UI, but I see no option to upgrade.
Do I have to completely uninstall Z-Wave JS UI and Home Assistant, then reinstall. Neither HA or Z-Wave JS UI provides any option to upgrade the Zwave ui version.
The integration is up to date, it is part of core. It is likely to new for the z-wave JS UI server, if that is what you are using. It might be old, giving errors, not running? Are you using that as an add-on?
Newer version of Z-Wave Server needed
Error · Reported by Z-Wave
The version of Z-Wave Server you are currently running is too old for this version of Home Assistant. Please update the Z-Wave Server to the latest version to fix this issue.
Yet there is no option to update. What am I missing?
Are you running it elsewhere, or as an addon?
As an add-on, I believe. Definitely NOT in Docker.
If I remove the add-on and reinstall - the only way to upgrade, apparently - will I lose all my zwave settings?
Could it be you ignored an update message? If you go to settings, server, uptates, open the top right menu and click show ignored updates?
In Home Assistant? It say no updates available.
And what does the addon version say?
Is this the correct way to manually update Home Assistant? It’s worked for years until now. sudo systemctl stop [email protected]
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant --break-system-packages
exit
sudo systemctl start [email protected]
Are you sure you don’t mean Home Assistant Operating System ( HAOS)? I didn’t think you could run add-ons in Core.
Z-Wave JS
Failed setup, will retry: Invalid server version: Z-Wave JS Server version (3.0.2) is incompatible. Update the Z-Wave JS Server to a version that supports at least api schema 44
- Installation methodHome Assistant Core
- Core2025.8.0
- Frontend20250806.0
Then surely updating your ZWave server is completely separate from Home Assistant? (I’ve no idea myself, I don’t have ZWave)
