Hi all, with the recent implementation of updating ESPHome devices within HA, this is a welcomed feature for me as I have 8 devices, and sometimes it can take about 1.5 hrs for it to finish. Making an automation for this would be a great solution. I created a basic automation that checks every mi…

Yes it’s very useful. Make sure you have auto update on the ESPHome add-on, and you’ll also have to make a timer via the helpers if you want the Watchdog timer to work. I would set it up to however long it takes to update all your boards plus 40 minutes or however way you like it. Cheers

[image] mdehaas: Could the entities be made dynamic? That is feasible, but why don’t you want to update other entities automatically? If you take a look at this most recent version of this Blueprint , you can filter out Core updates… isn’t that enough? Maybe I can create a session specifical…

How about this point of view to the automation? I created a group with all my esphome entities in it. When a esphome entity have an update the group goes ON. Then the repeat start. When all entities are updated and go off the group goes off… Then it will send a done notification. I have automati…

That works well also! I’m actually experiencing an issue at the moment with the ESPHome firmware update entities becoming unavailable So my automation is not working right now because these entities are the triggers. This is issue has been reported already by others and myself. If you are experie…
