## Current Limitations
- While support for the most common devices is working, some command classes are not yet (fully) implemented in Z-Wave JS. You can track the status [here](https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/issues/6).
- There currently is no migration path available 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.
You can keep track of the Roadmap for the Z-Wave JS integration [here](https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/zwave-js-server-python/issues/56).
## Migrating from previous Z-Wave implementations
If you are currently running on the [`zwave`](/integrations/zwave/) or [`ozw`](/integrations/ozw/) Z-Wave integration and it works fine, there is **no need to switch over at this time** to Z-Wave JS. It is important to know is that most development focus currently goes to Z-Wave JS. The previous implementations are still provided as-is. They will **NOT be removed** without proper notice but in time there *might* come technical dependencies that render one or both of those integrations unusable.
If you're new to Home Assistant, use Z-Wave JS.
The `zwave` integration has been marked as deprecated and will no longer receive any updates like new device files. The `ozw` integration will receive new device files if they are provided by upstream.
It is perfectly doable to switch over from one of the above mentioned previous integrations to the new Z-Wave JS integration. The good news is that your entire Z-Wave network is **stored on your stick** so you will not have to run through your house to recreate your network. That said, we currently do not provide a full-fledged, worry-free, click-a-button, migration from old to new. We're exploring options to provide this in the future. This means that if you want to switch over now, *you* will be the migration wizard.

### Automatic migration wizard
For the `zwave` integration there is a migration wizard that will help you set up the Z-Wave JS integration, remove the `zwave` integration and migrate the entities and devices that can be mapped from the `zwave` integration to the Z-Wave JS integration. Some entities may not be able to migrate automatically and you will need to rename the corresponding available Z-Wave JS entities manually, after the migration. Before completing the migration you will be shown a list of entities that could not be migrated automatically, and you'll have the option to abort or continue with the migration. The migration wizard is available from the `zwave` integration configuration panel in the GUI.
### In a nutshell this is what the migration path looks like
