A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apache IoTDB and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apache IoTDB is closing the SQL expressiveness gap while keeping its IoT-native core.
IoTDB 2.x has reached a level of SQL completeness — set operations, CTEs, window functions, JOIN variants, MATCH RECOGNIZE, and now logical views — that makes it viable for data engineers who previously had to export time-series data into a relational database for complex analysis. The 1.3.x branch is in maintenance mode, receiving only security backports. The AINode capability adds built-in ML models (Timer-XL, Timer-Sundial) for in-database forecasting.
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.
IoTDB 2.x has reached a level of SQL completeness — set operations, CTEs, window functions, JOIN variants, MATCH RECOGNIZE, and now logical views — that makes it viable for data engineers who previously had to export time-series data into a relational database for complex analysis. The 1.3.x branch is in maintenance mode, receiving only security backports. The AINode capability adds built-in ML models (Timer-XL, Timer-Sundial) for in-database forecasting.
The 2.x line is systematically adding relational SQL expressiveness atop the IoT-native storage core, adding 2-4 SQL features per release. The C-language SDK signals an intent to expand beyond JVM-centric deployments into embedded and industrial control contexts. AINode points toward a longer arc: time-series forecasting and anomaly detection executed directly in the database, reducing the need to export data to Python for ML workflows.
The next releases will likely complete table model SQL parity with standard features still missing, and expand AINode inference to cover more model types or expose forecasting via standard SQL function syntax.
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.
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.
Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
