It’s not needed. We’ve put a small conversion in place on the Z-Wave server so it accepts your OZW key and converts it on the fly.

OK, thanks!
If I’m running Home Assistant in docker without a supervisor, what do I need to do? I notice the integration wants to point to a websocket on 3000. Should I assume that means the best way to integrate this is not MQTT but some other API?
This is a good point. I’ve already switched but did exactly this. I remembered to turn off “Watchdog” but forgot to turn off “Start On Boot” and had to figure out why it wasn’t working after a reboot.
I already added it to the guide, everyone is welcome to make edits where they see fit. This is a community guide, any community guide can be edited. It’s like a wiki page.
you are using the wrong procedure if you aren’t running a supervisor. there is no add-on without the supervisor.
use this instead:
FYI I just made the swap from Zwave JS to ZwaveJS2MQTT, took all of 5 minutes. I moved the 3 cache files with both addon’s off. Then started ZwaveJS2MQTT and it immediately ran with the files and was good to go. There’s no reason this won’t work going the other way. I didn’t have to rename a thing. All the unique_ids were constant, thus the custom names set by the user transfered.

Thanks for the guide! Worked flawlessly and I got cut over without issue. So nice to have a modern Z-Wave configuration UI.
So I’ve migrated my network from OpenZwave (Beta) to Zwave JS, set up the new monikers for the devices, and edited my automations to use the new names and entities.
Just one thing, though - my list of Devices is still showing all the old OZW device names. I can disable them, and hide them from the lists of devices and entities, but is there some way to delete them altogether? Thanks.
Remove the OZW integration and restart HA. They will all be deleted then.
Those are from mqtt, remove them from the broker.
Edit Nevermind, I thought that was the other interface.
Ah, thanks - I’d already removed the OZW integration, and since I’m not using the MQTT broker for anything else, I’ll remove that as well.
If you deleted the integration, restart
Um, I’ve restarted the Core, restarted the Supervisor, and rebooted the Host, in that order - and those entries are still present?
Then you should just be able to delete them manually
If you click on the device then in the next page that opens does the device itself have a “delete” button at the bottom?
And how do I delete them manually? Thanks.
Can you delete the unused entities?
Well, I’d like to delete them, but I don’t know how to. There’s no button to do this that I can see. Am I supposed to go into the database with some sort of editor and do it that way?
