This integration allows you to control a Z-Wave network via Z-Wave JS.
This integration allows you to control a Z-Wave network via [Z-Wave JS](https://zwave-js.github.io/node-zwave-js/#/).
## Requirements
Controlling your Z-Wave network with the Z-Wave JS integration is split up into two parts:
1. The [Z-Wave JS Server](https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-server) is the gateway between your Z-Wave USB stick and Home Assistant. You can run this server separately from Home Assistant so your Z-Wave mesh will keep running if you restart or stop Home Assistant. The Home Assistant Z-Wave JS integration connects to this server with a websocket connection.
2. The Z-Wave JS integration in Home Assistant. This integration connects to the Z-Wave JS Server to retrieve the info from your Z-Wave network.
### Core installation
- The [zwave-js-server](https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-server) installed and running in your network.
- The Z-Wave JS Server installed and running in your network.
- We provide an official add-on which you can find in the Supervisor's add-on store.
- Not running the Supervisor? The [Z-Wave JS 2 MQTT project](https://zwave-js.github.io/zwavejs2mqtt/#/getting-started/quick-start) also includes the Z-Wave JS Server (you can enable it in the settings) and they provide a Docker image.
### Hardware requirements

As this integration is still in the early stages there are some important limitations to be aware of.
- Polling is not currently supported.
- Garage door controllers (Barrier Operator CC) are not currently supported.
- You will need to use another tool, such as [zwavejs2mqtt](https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt), to include/exclude devices and manage device configuration.
- Configuration of Z-Wave nodes and/or configuration with the Home Assistant UI is currently not yet implemented. You will need to use another tool, such as [zwavejs2mqtt](https://github.com/zwave-js/zwavejs2mqtt), to manage device configuration.
- Polling is currently not supported but may be added in a later release.
- Support for setting configuration parameters through service calls is currently not supported but may be added in a later release.
- Support for Node/Scene events is currently not supported but may be added in a later release.
- There currently is no migration path from any of the other Z-Wave implementations in Home Assistant. Your Z-Wave network is however stored on your stick so migrating will only require you to redo your device and entity naming.
