[Solved] Z-Wave JS Server version is incompatible on core-2022.3.0

I run Home Assistant core on my Ubuntu server. Today I did an update as:

sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

This normally does not give me trouble. But today I have a problem after update to 2022.3.0
The ZwaveJS integration gives me an error:

 Z-Wave JS Server version is incompatible: 1.14.1 a version is required that supports at least api schema 15

How do I fix this? Is it possible to upgrade ZwaveJS? How would I do that?
Please advise.

I’m running ZwaveJS2MQTT in docker.

zwavejs2mqtt: 6.5.1
zwave-js: 8.11.4
home id: 3430515805
home hex: 0xcc79845d

Sorry!
I figured it out. I had to upgrade ZwaveJS2MQTT docker. Now:

zwavejs2mqtt: 6.5.2
zwave-js: 8.11.6
home id: 3430515805
home hex: 0xcc79845d

And the integration is able to communicate again!

i have the same issue but zwavejs2mqtt does not find an update, it still stay`s at 0.35.0 but latest should be 0.35.2, never had issues before, always performing updates over frontend.

any suggestions how to force update ?

thank you!

Are you running ZwaveJS2MQTT in a docker? If so:
docker stop zwavejs2mqtt
docker rm zwavejs2mqtt
docker run …
Change to your your settings.
Then I had a new version. latest

Edit: I just saw your other post. I do not use the supervisor.

anyway thanks for your efforts!

I am also experiencing this issue and do not use docker. Anyone find a solution? Supervisor not offering an option to upgrade Z Wave JS version

On my side it looks like the Home Assistant Community Add-ons were not updating correctly (I don’t understand why yet). There were some git errors in the Supervisor log regarding add-on updates, that was probably related. I was stuck on Z-Wave JS to MQTT version 0.35 and no Community add-ons were visible in the Add-on Store page anymore.

Out of desperation I uninstalled Z-Wave JS to MQTT, and restored an older version of the Add-on from a backup (which downgraded it further) and eventually I got offered an update to 0.37, along with a couple of other community add-on updates that were also missing. This also brought back the Community add-ons in the Add-on Store page.

For the benefit of future readers: this ended up happening again, and once more it was related to the Home Assistant Community Add-ons being missing (therefore they are not updated).

The easy solution was to go to the Add-on Store (Settings > Add-ons > Add-on Store button), click on the three dots menu at the top right, select Repositories, then add back the default URL (which is https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository) and click Add. This brought back the Community Add-ons and finally I could update the old Z-Wave JS to MQTT plugin.

Now the real question is, why am I losing this URL in the repositories…

There was a bug in 2022.4 that caused repeated repository updates. Based on that GitHub started blocking requests, which then resulted in HA to remove the repository as it was thinking it is dead.
