Z-Wave JS UI vs Sanity: at a glance
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.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

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.
Sanity
6.3DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
◆ Current state
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
