Share your experience with migration from OZW to ZWJS

It works for me. There is a very good video from mostlychris - Z-wave JS migration from OZW Beta in Home Assistant with Integrations and Add-Ons . My fault during installation was a wrong device path. I thought the device path is /dev/ttyACM0 as everytime in the z-wave, ozw (beta) domoticz installation. The correct path for me was: /dev/serial/by-id…
This is described in the documentation. But i had not read this. After setting this path everything worked. You have to rename your devices and entities. The instruction for this you can find here:
Switching from OpenZwave (Beta) to Zwave JS.

  1. I made a backup (so you can roll back if it failed, then i followed the step 1 to 4 of the switching instruction. (see above)
  2. Then i uninstalled OZW (beta) and made a restart of homeassistant
  3. After that i installed supervisor addon z-wave js.
  4. Click on the configuration tab, the click the little triangle on the right side under device here you can choose your device.
  5. Look if under integration z-wave js ist installed. If not you can add it. If this is installed you can see your devices and entities.
  6. Next renaming nodes and entities and checking the automations, node red if installed and all cards with z-wave devices and replace the old names with the new.
  7. Some nodes you have to wake up. Triple click the B-button (fibaro motion sensor).

The door/window sensors is also working.
