zwavejs2mqtt with mqttthingWorksZ-Wave devices bound into Homebridge via zwavejs2mqtt and mqttthing; rock solid
Saved copy
I run zwavejs2mqtt in a docker container on the same raspberry pi that I run homebridge on. I then use the mqttthing plugin for homebridge to bind the devices and make them available via homebridge/HomeKit so they can be controlled from my Apple devices. For automation, I’ve found it most simple and most reliable for my needs to just schedule some cron tasks that publish mqtt messages to control my devices. But I’m a developer, and a shell script is easier to follow and make do exactly what I want than any of the complicated UIs.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
