Run Your Home on a Raspberry Pi

I'm not understanding how node.js relates to Home Assistant (written in python)?

I don't speak for the op, but the current recommended z-wave integration is via a sidecar javascript service: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/

One of HA's selling points for me originally was that everything was written in Python. It's frustrating that I am now faced with pulling a javascript service into the mix. Most of my devices are z-wave and I'm still running on the legacy integration and dreading this migration.

I've had mixed experiences with python (mosquitto is fine for example) but more uniformly bad experiences with node stuff.

I would vastly prefer all of this crap to be written in Rust or Haskell or OCaml or anything oriented towards correctness. It's relatively very important that the code which runs your home works correctly.
