This document is written to help those that are using Z-Wave JS and Home Assistant as Docker containers. This tutorial goes hand-in-hand with this: How to update Home Assistant Docker Container | Jack Stromberg

Validate your current version

First, validate what version of Z-Wave JS you are running. To do this, navigate to the Z-Wave JS webpage and hover over the i icon to validate what versions of the software you are running. The Z-Wave JS webpage can typically be accessed at http://yourip:8091.

Get the current name of your container and version

sudo docker ps

In running this command, note the NAME of your container as well as the IMAGE.

Stop and delete the container

Replace the name of the container in the command below with the value you had.

sudo docker stop zwave-js
sudo docker rm zwave-js

Update packages

Some versions of HA require newer versions of Python, Docker, etc. I may consider updating to latest package versions first.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Pull the latest container from Docker Hub

Replace the value below with your IMAGE value you documented in the previous steps.

sudo docker pull zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest

Deploy the container

Make sure your replace the name and value of the image with the values in the previous step. In addition, ensure you specify the correct path to where you existing configuration files exist to have the container load your existing configurations.

sudo docker run -d --restart=always  -p 8091:8091 -p 3000:3000 --device=/dev/ttyACM0 --name="zwave-js" -e "TZ=America/Chicago" -v /home/docker/zwave-js:/usr/src/app/store zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest

Validate your version number

After a few minutes, navigate back to the Z-Wave JS page. Upon load, you should now be on the latest versions.

Notes:

You can find the latest, stable, and development builds out on docker hub here: https://hub.docker.com/r/zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt
