A full-featured Z-Wave control panel UI and MQTT gateway for managing smart home devices.
Z-Wave JS UI is an open-source web application that serves as a control panel and MQTT gateway for Z-Wave smart home networks. It allows users to manage Z-Wave devices, update firmware, configure associations, and integrate with home automation platforms via MQTT, solving the need for a centralized, user-friendly interface for Z-Wave network management.
Smart home enthusiasts, IoT developers, and home automation integrators who use Z-Wave devices and want a self-hosted, feature-rich control panel with MQTT integration.
Developers choose Z-Wave JS UI for its comprehensive feature set, including a full control panel UI, robust MQTT gateway, and strong security features, all while being open-source and easily integrable with platforms like Home Assistant, Domoticz, and OpenHAB.
Full featured Z-Wave Control Panel UI and MQTT gateway. Built using Nodejs, and Vue/Vuetify
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a full control panel for managing nodes, firmware updates, and associations directly from the UI, as detailed in the README's features list.
Exposes Z-Wave devices to MQTT brokers with full configurability, enabling seamless integration with platforms like Home Assistant and Domoticz via MQTT Discovery.
Includes a network graph for visualization, Zniffer mode for traffic analysis, and health check tools, making troubleshooting network issues straightforward.
Supports HTTPS, user authentication, and automatic scheduled backups of NVM and store directories, ensuring secure and safe network management as highlighted in the README.
Requires installation and configuration of Node.js, an external MQTT broker, and Z-Wave hardware, which can be daunting for users without technical expertise.
Needs a separate MQTT broker to function fully, adding infrastructure complexity and potential points of failure not bundled with the software.
Focused solely on Z-Wave; for mixed smart home ecosystems with Zigbee or other protocols, additional gateways are necessary, limiting all-in-one functionality.
