zwave-js
-
For those who are familiar with node-red, I found interesting news from the Home Assistant site that the openzwave project has gone stale and that they have shifted their focus on integrating zwave-js! It spiked my interest in spite of currently not seeing any need since z-way has been rock solid in combination with openluup but it might be of interest for others that there is yet another open source z-wave platform, this time written in javascript and running on a nodejs server... yes the same platform @toggledbits has chosen for "super reactor". I am already running a number of smaller nodejs application in my setup so it isn't quite new and yes there is also mqtt and node red bindings coming with it.

this is interesting, because it seems to be based on a WebSocket protocol, so no polling and real-time. I'm wondering if Zway Server will gain this ability soon, because it will make sync very fast. Faster than HTTP polling and faster than MQTT.
It's funny you asked this because the latest z-way-server 3.1.2 actually has a libwebsocket dependency which is new. I just don't know what it is used for yet.
