ZwaveJS UI - can it run along ZwaveJS

A new addon v1.0.0 is in the addon store. It says:
The Z-Wave JS UI add-on provides an additional control panel, allowing you to configure every aspect of your Z-Wave network. It provides a decouled gateway which can communicate using Z-Wave JS WebSockets (used by the Home Assistant Z-Wave JS integration) and MQTT (even simultaneously).

Does this mean I can run this to have an UI - User Interface next to my ZwaveJS addon (0.1.72)?

If so how?

I tried to run it along but I am not able to get it startup since it cannot connect to the serial port.

No

Its one or the other, not both
ZwavejsUI was previously zwavejsmqtt. It includes zwavejs.

Ah, thats a pity. I hoped it was just a UI…

Ironically, zwavejsmqtt was renamed to prevent confusion. Seems that it failed at the task.

I have a related question. If I already have ZwaveJS configured and lots of UI and automations set up around my current devices, is there an easy way to switch to ZwaveJS UI?

There is a way to switch:

The doc mentioned this:


Anybody tried it yet? I am also just looking for the extra UI.

That is referring to using Z-Wave JS UI without MQTT. It still replaces the Z-Wave JS official add-on. Follow the instructions posted above you for switching.
