Open Zwave is no longer being maintained

Probably not an immediate issue, but good to know.

// Ah, it seems this addon uses an even older forked version from
https://github.com/WebThingsIO/open-zwave/

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately this add-on is also lacking a maintainer, so there's currently nobody to seek out an alternative, or maintain the fork.

The leader of the HomeAssistant project messaged me a few years ago and mentioned that they were switching to node-zwave-js, which is written in JavaScript and actively maintained.

We may want to consider switching to that too, since OpenZWave has been unmaintained for a couple of years now.

In the meantime I have a PR to at least bring us up to date with the last master of OpenZWave WebThingsIO/open-zwave#1 (with a patch to make it actually compile).
