Had a few failed z-wave devices, replacement no longer compatible with Old Legacy Vera Plus controller.

I have therefore taken the plunge and decided to move all into Node-red amd Zwave-js.

I hear there will be a breaking update to Zwave-js node (V11) so until then i am just going to patch the broken devices into the old Legacy systems, until V11 is released.

On advice from @marcus-j-davies I purchased a ZWA-2 Z-wave antenna. [Home Assistant Connect ZWA-2 - The Pi Hut](https://thepihut.com/products/home-assistant-connect-zwa-2). Home assistant is not required

I have Node-red running on a routed android box and to connect the antenna i had to give /dev/ttyACM0 permissions 777 using the termux boot directory, info here [Android - termux - Playstore no longer a recommended install source - #5 by btsimonh](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/android-termux-playstore-no-longer-a-recommended-install-source/85034/5)

Using

```auto
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
sudo chmod 777 "/dev/ttyACM0"

```

A BIg thank you to @marcus-j-davies and the Z-Wave-js team [Z-Wave JS - Z-Wave driver written entirely in JavaScript/TypeScript](https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js/#/). And i should thank @btsimonh also

You are most welcome @E1cid  
Glad to see my Node being used by some of the admin staff here 😃

(hopefully will continue to be a good move 😅)

One is glad to be of service (yes!!! I love the movie bicentennial man)

- V11 almost ready (for testing at least) -but hopefully should be pretty stable & complete
