Newer Version of Z-Wave Server needed

AFter troubleshooting some other issues over the last couple of days, I decided to reboot HA. After reboot, there were a couple of HA updates waiting, so I updated them. Afterward, I got an update message saying “Newer version of Z-Wave Server needed.”

I am not a power user and I’m not sure what to do next, so hoping I can get a little help here.

I did notice that hoth HA updates looked like I had missed a few based on the version numbers, and I’m not sure why, because I am pretty good at checking for updates and installing them.

Upgrade your Z-Wave add-on to the latest, whichever one you are using.

When I go to Settings==>Add Ons==>Z-Wave JS, there is no Update option. I’m a fairly basic user, so maybe I’m missing something. I see the add on has been turned off, and I have not tried to just turn it back on yet.

Are you sure you’re using Z-Wave JS core add-on, and not the Z-Wave JS UI community add-on? You wouldn’t get a version error if the add-on was not running.

Good catch. Here’s a screenshot of the add on I am using. The error says the Z-Wave Server needs update. Not sure how to do that.

From the add-ons page you can refresh the repositories (under the … menu I think). See if that changes anything. If not I’d start looking at Supervisor logs, maybe there are errors checking for versions.

OK. Not seeing those, but I’ll keep looking.

Thank you for your responses.

it looks like you are a pretty old ZWJSUI, the current version appears to be @

Z-Wave JS UI
Current version: 5.3.2 (Changelog)

You may need to manually download/reinstall it.

That update JUST showed up in my system within the last few minutes. I’m up and running. Thanks for the reply.

I am getting vibes that you have zwavejs AND zwavejsui add-ons loaded.

You need to have only one of them loaded.

The zwavejs one might be loading itself on you, search the forum here to see that issue, why it does that, and how to stop it.

I have both but use Z-wave JS UI. I used the other one early on but turned it off after downloading and using the UI version.

Should I just remove Z-wave JS?

yes
