I’m Transitioning from openHAB. Obviously I have a bunch of devices that are zwave.
But as I not 100% ready to exit yet, I was thinking about externalising the zwave for zwave2mqtt.
Is that any good as a zwave platform? As the advantage is that both home assistant and openHAB can use the devices.
Or is there a way with the current HA zwave implementation (not even sure what it is that I can broadcast devices (states and receive command) back to openHAB.
I’m currently doing the reverse of this now, zwave in openHAB is exposing all devices via mqtt that home assistant is utilising
openzwave (used by zwave2mqtt) is basically dead and the replacement is zwavejs (used by zwavejs2mqtt).
zwavejs2mqtt works perfectly fine in my installation. and you don’t even need to use the mqtt functionality to integrate it to HA (unless you really want to). just use the webhook service. Or both as you see fit.
that would be a good way to transition between the two if OH uses mqtt.
I assume it’s just a docker container. I’ll investigate. I suspect the openHAB side will be the hardest due to no discovery of devices. But that’s fine.
