Eureka vs Z-Wave JS UI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eureka and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eureka vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Eureka?
Eureka cut its first release in two years, and the notes live in a release candidate, not the tag.
Netflix's Eureka reached v1.10.19 in August 2026 after a candidate train that started in January 2024. The final tag's body is a single CI fix — the JDK setup in the publish workflow — byte-identical to rc.6 before it. The actual accumulated changes sit in rc.4: replacing servo with spectator in the client, EIP support for secondary ENIs, allocation-reduction backports from the 2.x line, VIP address lookup metrics, and xstream upgrades clearing two CVEs.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

◆ Current state
Netflix's Eureka reached v1.10.19 in August 2026 after a candidate train that started in January 2024. The final tag's body is a single CI fix — the JDK setup in the publish workflow — byte-identical to rc.6 before it. The actual accumulated changes sit in rc.4: replacing servo with spectator in the client, EIP support for secondary ENIs, allocation-reduction backports from the 2.x line, VIP address lookup metrics, and xstream upgrades clearing two CVEs.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a maintenance-mode project shipping a catch-up release rather than a roadmap. The substantive content is backports and dependency hygiene — the perf work is explicitly ported from 2.x, and the last two candidates exist only to bump xstream and fix the publish pipeline. The 2.0.x line saw its own small patch, so both lines are alive but neither is being extended.
◆ Prediction
Direction is hard to read from a feed where the release tag carries less information than its candidates. The pattern suggests further releases will be driven by CVE remediation in transitive dependencies rather than by feature work.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
