Hi, as someone without deep linux knowledge, I has a lot of trouble upgrading zwavejs2mqtt to the new version z-wave-js-ui. I’m running the latest HA version (2022.9.4) as core on a venv. In the end, I just used Snap to remove the old version (installed with Snap originally) and do an install of zwave-js-ui instead. Even though the Snap page doesn’t mention it you can put zwave-js-ui in the install command like so:
sudo snap install zwave-js-ui
Check out the snap page:
I wish I could still build this from scratch using your instructions versus using SNAP but this is what I get:
yarn install

Z-Wave JS UI doesn’t use yarn anymore, it uses npm. That’s the problem with following posts that are 3 years old…
If you are using a Pi5, what is your goal for building from scratch? Binaries for multiple platforms, including arm64, are available for download. These do not require nodejs to be installed, you can just extract the archive and run them. https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases
If you really need to build from scratch, just follow the steps in the official Dockerfile.
Alternatively you can build the bundle (very small build), which the binaries are based on.
npm install
npm run build
npm run bundle
When I originally built this tutorial it used NPM then they decided to use yarn so I updated a couple of steps to use yarn I have not had any issue with it but I guess I should udate it back to using NPM
I reset the tutorial back to use NPM as it was originally give it a try and let me know I did a update on my system as was successful but have not done a from scratch build yet
I ended up just using snap. I figured out that the process has gotten a lot more simple with changes made since the post I was using to get it going.
