What is WeWeb?

WeWeb ships a rebuilt AI builder that uses fewer tokens and shows each step as it works.

WeWeb publishes a weekly release that pairs AI-builder changes with new integrations. In the past month it added AI app testing, scheduled backend tasks, category-wide AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and editable HTML imports. The October 21 release replaces the AI builder with one that WeWeb says builds better on fewer tokens and shows its steps, and adds visual previews for every design-system style.

What is Z-Wave JS?

Z-Wave JS v15.31.2 puts endpoint grouping to work across a batch of meters and shutters.

v15.31.2 is a patch with four driver fixes: invalid Powerlevel statuses rejected, nvmedit ignoring stale bytes, migrated 700/800 controllers set to Static Controller, and application presets no longer overwritten. It also adds ten device config changes, eight of them using the v15.31.0 endpoint grouping feature for Zipato, Qubino, Aeotec, Shelly and Intermatic devices.

WeWeb ships a rebuilt AI builder that uses fewer tokens and shows each step as it works.

◆ Current state

WeWeb publishes a weekly release that pairs AI-builder changes with new integrations. In the past month it added AI app testing, scheduled backend tasks, category-wide AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and editable HTML imports. The October 21 release replaces the AI builder with one that WeWeb says builds better on fewer tokens and shows its steps, and adds visual previews for every design-system style.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI layer is the product's center of gravity: from thinking-level controls and locked pages in September, to self-testing on September 30, to a new builder now. Cost and transparency are the recurring themes, which fits a usage-metered AI allowance shown in September.

◆ Prediction

Expect follow-ups that tie the new AI more tightly to the design system and testing features, plus the usual weekly integrations. The entry gives no numbers on token savings, so the size of the efficiency gain is unclear.

5.0

Z-Wave JS v15.31.2 puts endpoint grouping to work across a batch of meters and shutters.

◆ Current state

v15.31.2 is a patch with four driver fixes: invalid Powerlevel statuses rejected, nvmedit ignoring stale bytes, migrated 700/800 controllers set to Static Controller, and application presets no longer overwritten. It also adds ten device config changes, eight of them using the v15.31.0 endpoint grouping feature for Zipato, Qubino, Aeotec, Shelly and Intermatic devices.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is in a steady cycle: a feature minor about every two to four weeks, followed by patches that apply the new feature through device configs. The RCP firmware driver from v15.28 and command deduplication from v15.29 were the last big capability moves. Since then, work has gone into config coverage and controller-migration correctness.

◆ Prediction

Expect v15.32.0 in the next few weeks, with more device configs moving to endpoint grouping in the patches that follow it.
