Zwave JS UI addon update how to

[steel pond]

There is no update method in the add-on. I read on some threads to use terminal in HA to update the addon. in 'ha addons' I find a slug titled 'a0d7b954_zwavejs2mqtt', but "ha addons update a0d7b954_zwavejs2mqtt" yeilds "Error: No update available for add-on a0d7b954_zwavejs2mqtt".

What are the steps to (I assume) download the latest Zwave JS UI version from "https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui", save it to a location, then use "ha update ... " to update the add-on? or do I have the process wrong?

Usually you just click a button in HA

Either from update entity or on the add-on page.

What version are you upgrading from?

I am not sure what the update entity is, though maybe it is the update notification. There is no notification showing currently as I either closed or acknowledged it. Before that, I don't recall it showing an update button. I do not know how to recover the update notification/item, but maybe that is a path to a solution.

The add-on page has no update button. This is Zwave JS UI.

Currently installed Zwave JS UI version is 4.4.0
The new version available on Github is 5.3.2

Installation method HA OS
Core 2025.11.0
Supervisor 2025.11.1
Operating System 16.3

I assume that the new version 5.3.2 will be compatible with the new HA software.

What the add-on shows in HA

I think a reason Terminal is not seeing the update is that it shows ver 4.4.0 as the latest. Here is a snippet of my 'ha addons' command -

name: Z-Wave JS UI
repository: a0d7b954
slug: a0d7b954_zwavejs2mqtt
stage: stable
state: started
system_managed: false
update_available: false
url: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-zwave-js-ui
version: 4.4.0
version_latest: 4.4.0

I assume this means 'ha addons' does not see the version 5.3.2, though the url listed shows 5.3.2 as the latest.

Is there a way around this to enable 'ha addons update ...' to work?

Try refreshing the add-on repositories, under the ... menu on the add-on store page. Check logs for any errors doing that.

That fixed it. I clicked the update button and now I have my devices back.
