Firmware upgrade notification (At least) for Tasmota Integration

Feature Requests
1

Hello All,

Could be possible to include Tasmota Integration under the “Update” feature of Home Assistant?

Would be lovely to receive a notification if there is a newer firmware available for the Tasmota device discovered in your environment.

Obviously, the capability to perform the upgrade from the HA itself would be perfect but maybe a notification as a first step could be awesome.

Thank you in advance.

Never read the Tasmota documentation? It clearly states: if it ain’t broken, don’t update.
That is probably the reason the Tasmota integration never implemented an update sensor.

First of all, show respect, like I am doing in my response.

I have read the documentation many times and I agree with you, do not upgrade if works, but can you tell me where in my request I have said autoupdate? I’ve said, only a notification of a newer firmware when available and if they want, then in a future maybe include the upgrade from HA if possible.

You never know, you might be waiting for a new version due to a bug or a new feature or sensor supported… who knows.
