Tines vs Z-Wave JS UI
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Tines and Z-Wave JS UI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Tines vs Z-Wave JS UI: at a glance
What is Tines?
Tines lets admins grant each product area separately without splitting teams.
Tines is a security-automation platform whose recent releases split between Records and Cases as a structured data layer and governance controls around Apps and AI. The November 13 release lets admins grant access to each product area independently, so analysts and builders on the same team can see different parts of the platform. It follows tenant-wide fallback models and a multi-path Condition action earlier in the month.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.

Tines
5.0DEVOPS
Tines lets admins grant each product area separately without splitting teams.
◆ Current state
Tines is a security-automation platform whose recent releases split between Records and Cases as a structured data layer and governance controls around Apps and AI. The November 13 release lets admins grant access to each product area independently, so analysts and builders on the same team can see different parts of the platform. It follows tenant-wide fallback models and a multi-path Condition action earlier in the month.
◆ Where it's heading
Records has gained new field types, a v2 read API, and write access through the Tines MCP server, turning it into a system of record that AI clients can edit. The admin track keeps getting finer: SSO-group app restrictions, keyless cloud credentials, tenant model fallbacks and now per-product permissions all move control below the team level.
◆ Prediction
The next likely step is per-team or per-story AI model policies, extending tenant-level defaults the way permissions just moved below the team. A write-side Records API v2 to match the September read endpoints also fits the pattern.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI ships two driver patches in a day after its Node 24 move.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. On November 10, 11.26.1 and 11.26.2 bumped zwave-js to 15.32.2 and then 15.32.3, the latter with @zwave-js/server 3.12.0. 11.26.0 a day earlier had finished the move to Node 24.
◆ Where it's heading
The project releases soon after each upstream driver patch, so device support follows zwave-js closely. The Node 24 migration seems complete, with fallout fixed in 11.25.2.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 11.26.x releases as zwave-js 15.32 patches continue; a UI-level change isn't signaled in the recent entries.
