Sanity vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Sanity?
Sanity cuts the Studio plugin out of Context so agent Insights fit any React app.
Sanity is pushing its agent tooling hard. Context 3.0.0 removes the Studio plugin, so adding Insights to an agent no longer pulls Studio into the app and works on React 18, and transcripts now save only user text, assistant text and tool calls; 3.0.1 fixes saving with @sanity/client 8.15. Earlier in the week Context MCP moved workspace, perspective and search onto the endpoint, and MCP server 2.46.0 added usage tools.
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.

Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity cuts the Studio plugin out of Context so agent Insights fit any React app.
◆ Current state
Sanity is pushing its agent tooling hard. Context 3.0.0 removes the Studio plugin, so adding Insights to an agent no longer pulls Studio into the app and works on React 18, and transcripts now save only user text, assistant text and tool calls; 3.0.1 fixes saving with @sanity/client 8.15. Earlier in the week Context MCP moved workspace, perspective and search onto the endpoint, and MCP server 2.46.0 added usage tools.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is separating its agent products from Studio: Context, Insights and the MCP endpoint are becoming pieces developers can use without the CMS editor. Breaking changes are arriving with migration paths rather than long deprecation windows.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Context app to take over more of what the removed Studio plugin did, and further Context and client releases kept in lockstep.
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.
