What is Gravity Wiz?

Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0

Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.

What is Z-Wave JS UI?

Z-Wave JS UI turns window coverings into first-class Home Assistant entities

Z-Wave JS UI ships a release every few weeks, alternating between driver bumps that carry upstream zwave-js work and its own control panel and MQTT changes. 11.23.0 adds a speed column to the control panel, moves the driver to zwave-js 15.28.0, attaches environment metadata to debug capture sessions, and discovers the Window Covering command class as Home Assistant cover entities. The security work from earlier in the summer — store path confinement, a password hash leak, credential management on a separate network — is now behind it.

Gravity Wiz vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side

G6.3

Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0

◆ Current state

Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is that Gravity Forms is being treated as an application platform rather than a form builder, and Gravity Wiz keeps shipping the layers that make that true. Bookings adds scheduling with per-provider ownership, Product Configurator ties forms to WooCommerce catalog structure, and Advanced Conditional Logic pushes form logic toward something closer to a rules engine. Each release makes forms carry more application behavior instead of just collecting input.

◆ Prediction

Advanced Conditional Logic is still at alpha 1, so a stable release is the clear next step. Given the Bookings launch, integration between scheduling and the existing payment and WooCommerce perks is the natural follow-on.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI turns window coverings into first-class Home Assistant entities

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI ships a release every few weeks, alternating between driver bumps that carry upstream zwave-js work and its own control panel and MQTT changes. 11.23.0 adds a speed column to the control panel, moves the driver to zwave-js 15.28.0, attaches environment metadata to debug capture sessions, and discovers the Window Covering command class as Home Assistant cover entities. The security work from earlier in the summer — store path confinement, a password hash leak, credential management on a separate network — is now behind it.

◆ Where it's heading

The MQTT discovery layer is where this project adds value beyond the driver it wraps: every command class mapped to a proper Home Assistant entity is one less template a user has to write by hand, and window coverings are among the most commonly hand-configured. Alongside that, the diagnostic surface keeps thickening — a speed column, environment metadata in debug captures, an interview progress percentage earlier — which is what a project does when its support load is dominated by mesh behaviour nobody can reproduce. The releases in between are dependency tracking.

◆ Prediction

Expect further command classes to gain native Home Assistant discovery, and the debug capture format to keep accreting context, since both are responses to the same support burden.
