I was able to get my Z-Wave devices into HA. Thanks to help from the forum (THANK YOU)!
Now that they are visible in Z-Wave JS
how do I use them in an automation?
Device doesn’t list either Z-Wave device.
It is probably something simple…
Thanks,
Paul.
Try selecting “State” instead of device and look for your Z-Wave devices entity.
In addition to setting up the Z-Wave JS UI addon you also need to setup the z-wave js integration.
Ok - here is my try at describing what I have…
I have Z-Wave JS UI installed, and it lists my two devices and my USB hub:
I have two Add-ons: Z-Wave JS and Z-Wave JS UI:
Here is the configuration of Z-Wave JS UI:
Here is the configuration of Z-Wave JS:
Here are my issues:
When I go to the Overview, there are no Z-Wave devices listed. Nor are any listed in Automation. I am not able to create any automations that involve Z-Wave devices. Help.
When I try to create Automations:
Add Trigger | Devices, there are no Z-Wave Devices
Add Trigger | State, there are no Z-Wave Entities
Please help.
Thanks,
Paul.
You can’t use both add-ons at the same time. Pick one of them, I recommend ZUI.
If you only have 2 devices you can just uninstall the z-wave integration and uninstall the official Z-wave JS add-on, leaving ZUI installed. Then be sure to follow ZUI add-on instructions, which has as step-by-step guide on how to install. https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui/blob/34fba51897dc81528d0f750ca7eef7189342a648/zwave-js-ui/DOCS.md#setting-up-the-home-assistant-z-wave-js-integration

Thank you for your help!
I appreciate the one more level of detail…
I find the names confusing. I think once it clicks it will be fine. Hopefully.
I just uninstalled all the Z-Wave stuff I could find. I uninstalled the following:
So, based on what I think I know… I should install only the following:
Add-on – Z-Wave JS UI (3.0.1)
A small update - I have installed the Z-Wave JS UI and have my two nodes and one hub in the list.
However, neither of those nodes are in the HA Automations under Device or State. – where can I find them in Automations?
Perserverance.
One more question - now on JS UI - what should this be set to, Blue or Gray?
