Zwave JS app updates

On my latest HAOS installation I switched to using the official Zwave JS add-on/application.

I’ve noticed that standalone Zwave JS UI (and the zwave js driver) have been updated at least a couple of times since the Zwave JS app was last updated.

As of today:
Zwave JS app
Current version: 1.7.1
zwave-js-ui: 11.22.3
zwave-js: 15.27.1

Standalone Zwave JS UI
Current version: 11.24.0
zwave-js: 15.29.0

Is there any reason why the official Zwave JS app is not keeping pace with the standalone Zwave JS UI?

The official app is updated when the maintainers decide to do so.

You’re behind by only two releases, and that’s a span of less than 2 weeks.

11.23.0 (2026-09-01)
11.24.0 (2026-09-10)

Is there a Faq for switching back to the official app?
