ZwaveJS2MQTT already deprecated?

[dime]

While I've never had major problems with OZW, I imagine that if you do, you'll want to figure out possible other alternatives. But I was surprised to see that since 2022.1 OZW is deprecated, things apparently escalate quickly.
So I waited a long time to update to ZwaveJS2MQTT, hoping that most of the problems and initial habituation issues had been resolved.
Using the manual at https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/ZwaveJS2MQTT I did some testing on a dummy system, but after a few days it turns out the link on that site to zwave-js@github was deprecated.

What is going on here? Is ZwaveJS2MQTT also deprecated, and might it be wiser to wait to uninstall OZW until an alternative to ZwaveJS2MQTT is found?

Hello @dime,

No, it is not deprecated, but there was a small name change, after introducing version 8.0.0.
See: https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases.

So we should change the link in the Wiki from https://zwave-js.github.io/zwavejs2mqtt/#/ to
https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/

So, the link in the Wiki should be adjusted.

Great, I already saw zwave-js-ui on github but didn't know it was the same.
Very well thanks for your response!

On the Domoticz wiki page the links to zwavejs are modified to the new locations.

Do you know what was the reason to change the name ? The 2 versions are apparently the same, same ui, same behaviour ...

Hi @mgugu

See https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases under 8.0.0.
Thats all I know.
