„You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.”

Roughly nine months after the last major release, we've reached a new milestone.
Z-Wave JS is now 4 years old, its usage has more than doubled over the course of the v8.x release line and it is still growing steadily. There are many exciting things yet to come, so stay tuned!

Breaking changes · Migration guide

  • The route parameter in SendDataBridgeRequest has been removed, since it isn't supported in any known SDK version (#3741)
  • Faster timeout while waiting for a response to a GET request (#3756)
  • Renamed properties and methods of the Controller class and related message classes (#3761)
  • Converted the isControllerNode method on the ZWaveNode class to a readonly property (#3972)
  • (possibly breaking) Upgraded serialport library to version 10.x (#4225)
  • The legacy network cache file <homeid>.json was converted to an appendonly .jsonl file in order to prevent data loss (#4263)
  • Almost all CC API methods now validate their arguments and will throw if they don't match the expected type (#4405)

Features

  • The node statistics now include RSSI and the actual routes taken (LWR, NLWR) for communication (#4022)
  • A utility method rssiToString was added to convert RSSI values to a human readable string
  • Export some commonly used string formatting utilities (#4318)
  • Add support for Irrigation CC (#4270)
  • The controller's sdkVersion property now includes the build number (or minor version) if supported (#4355, #4398)
  • Also expose sdkVersion on the controller node (#4388)
  • Added a compat flag to expose received MultilevelSwitchCCSet commands via the event property (#4282)
  • Received MultilevelSwitchCC Start/StopLevelChange commands are now emitted as notifications (#4282)
  • Added an sdkVersion property for nodes (#4371)
  • LogContext and related types are now exported (#4378)
  • Map Basic CC Set to appropriate CCs for devices with Remote Switch device class (#4382)
  • User codes and network keys are no longer logged (#4383)

Bugfixes

  • Error reporting is now opt-in (#4279) and should no longer force-exit the application when an unhandled rejection occurs (#4291)
  • Increase the default controller response timeout to 10s to work around an issue where some 500 series controllers take too long to confirm execution of a SendData command when the target node is unresponsive (#4259)
  • Fix parsing of BridgeApplicationCommandRequest that do not contain an RSSI reading (#4337)
  • Fixed an issue with automatic clock correction where rounding the time up could lead to the clock being 1 hour late (#4346)
  • Notification event parameters containing a UserCodeCC report now correctly indicate the user ID again (#4356)
  • Fixed an issue in the NVM migration routine that could lead to nonsensical radio settings which can only be changed by editing the NVM file manually (#4368)
  • Prevent infinite loop in health check when the node responds but there is no progress (#4372)
  • Route health checks can no longer have sleeping nodes as the target (#4373)
  • Lifeline health checks now wait for sleeping nodes to wake up instead of considering the wait time latency (#4376)
  • Route health check rounds now indicate when there were zero failed pings (#4377)
  • Multi Channel encapsulation now correctly uses V1 commands if this is the highest supported version of a node (#4387)
  • The versions of CCs that are not supported by the root device but only endpoints are now correctly queried (#4419)

Changes under the hood
