Now that the Zigbee OTA updates are working for some devices, I was wondering how others have managed to get the battery devices updating. On my Z-Wave devices i often have a wake-up button (generally repeatedly) I can hit to try to keep it awake, and it’s a pain often to do so, but Zigbee is a little different in that I don’t know of a mechanism to do this. I have a lot of ThirdReality battery devices around and am getting notices in HA that there is a newer firmware for them but have never been able to update them (leak sensors, temp/humidity sensors, etc). Is there a best practice for this?

+1 this. Found this thread looking for an answer to the same problem. @CO_4X4 did you end up finding something for this?
I got mine to work by repeatedly attempting to update after it says it failed. Fortunately my battery devices report often enough that by doing that I could get it to eventually try to update firmware when the device woke up.
