Grav vs Z-Wave JS UI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Grav and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Grav vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Grav?
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.
Grav vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side
Grav
2.5DEVOPS
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
◆ Current state
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
◆ Where it's heading
The fix originates on Grav 2.x and is carried back to 1.7, so the project is maintaining two lines, with 1.7 receiving security and compatibility patches for older PHP versions. With a single entry, the cadence on either branch isn't visible yet.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 1.7.53.x patches that mirror security fixes from the 2.x line. The entries don't show how long 1.7 support continues.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.25.2 fixes HTTPS certificates that the new Node 24 image rejected.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver, but 11.25.0 was a fuller feature release with Configuration CC entity defaults, tighter column filters and min/max/step value hints. The Docker image moved to Node 24 in that release, and 11.25.2 now regenerates self-signed HTTPS certificates that Node 24 rejected. 11.25.1 bumped Node to 24.22.1 and zwave-js to 15.31.2.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases alternate between thin driver bumps and occasional UI and Home Assistant discovery batches. The Node 24 move is producing its own follow-up fixes, and the Home Assistant integration remains where most user-facing changes land.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to go back to zwave-js and Node patch bumps, possibly with more Node 24 compatibility fixes, and another UI batch in a few weeks.
