Hi! I was using the HA native Z-Wave and then decided to upgrade to Z Wave JS UI. I am semi new to HA and having some odd issues if anyone can offer assistance?
Am I still supposed to have 4 things installed including “Z Wave”, “Mosquito Broker”, “Z Wave JS”, “Z Wave JS UI”? This seems redundant, and I am having some odd issues, so just making sure I was not supposed to remove something.
ZHA is Zigbee, and Z-Wave JS UI is Z-Wave. What do you mean by “upgrade”? Did you replace all of your Zigbee devices with Z-Wave? You can’t just switch between these software which support different protocols.
Now when you refer to “native Z-Wave”, are you referring to the long obsolete OpenZWave-based integration (legacy Z-Wave), or the Z-Wave JS official add-on? If you are referring to the latter, you can follow this guide to switch:
If you mean OpenZWave, there’s no migration path. You can just install Z-Wave JS UI and start over. You don’t need MQTT.
