Hi All,
I have my pi running zwave JS in docker for my razberry 7 pro.
Currently running 7.28 and want to upgrade to 7.36.
Do i need to install ZWay on my Pi??
If so, do i need to stop the docker container with zwave JS, install ZWay, update the module, remove zway and then restart my docker container?

Re: Firmware upgrades when using ZWave JS
The sequence of steps you listed looks correct. I can think of 2 alternate approaches you might want to consider:
1. Don't remove ZWay, just stop it and don't let it start automatically before you switch to ZWave JS (use systemctl stop z-way-server; systemctl disable z-way-server). If/when you need to use ZWay again, you'll only need to stop the docker container for ZWave JS and start ZWay.
2. If you're using HA, you can use ZWay instead of ZWaveJS. ZWay has a web socket based integration to HA (see: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_me/).
Please reply with your reason(s) for using ZWaveJS instead of ZWay since it could help ZWay developers and forum users.
