My system is up to date as far as I know.
I regularly take the updates each month.
The OS received an update today to v18.0. I'm assuming that core doesn't like that you didn't update the OS.
This is why I always wait for the .1 updates.
You are a long way behind on OS updates.
This is the first time I knew about another layer of HA that had to be updated......
I installed this mini PC ages back, and it has always had two 'streams' of updates.
But the operating system ? its never said to do that. I pasted this int o AI just now and it said to issue this command from the terminal - ha os update --version=18.0
I just did that. Now Im thinking I should have picked something a bit close to the 14 I had....... HA is down, and not come back..... yet.
Luckily, I have a VM on unraid that I have been reso=toring my backups too every now and again - now I don't need to connect any USB's and have them move around on me, I can move to the VM permanently if this goes belly up. Then I get to play with promos on the mini pc - something I have wanted to do anyway.
Yea, pal... you may want to be diligent and check out the OS update from a few months ago. It was a BIG update with included instructions for users because HAOS is now using containerd.
EDIT - The update had to do with migrating the database. If memory serves me correctly, it's not required, but recommended, as the migration includes performance upgrades.
Your system should create an update notification for you automatically. If it isn't then go to Devices and Services -> Home Assistant Supervisor. Look for the following entity id and make sure it is not disabled:
update.home_assistant_operating_system_update
This just shows the current version, I have definitely never been told of any updates in this regard.
I asked AI why I missed these updates, it suggests I may have skipped one in the distant past, and then it never alerts again. I said to create an automation, which it provided for me - shown below. AI has done so much heavy lifting on my automations now that I literally have no clue what its doing half the time, and then for mu unraid server, it is writing python websites, shed loads of user scripts, the system is really automated now.
alias: "System: Alert on OS Update Available"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: update.home_assistant_operating_system_update
to: "on"
action: - service: notify.persistent_notification
data:
title: "HAOS Update Available!"
message: "A new Operating System release is ready. Current version is {{ states.update.home_assistant_operating_system_update.attributes.current_version }}, latest is {{ states.update.home_assistant_operating_system_update.attributes.latest_version }}."
Seems I have to work through some security changes now also. My HA is now being blocked by my Cloudflare config. Have to investigate all that.
Chasing my tail on that - icloud private relate thought it would be a good idea to change to the USA for a bit of time!!!!! I block USA on Cloudflare. I have set it to ONLY use my country and timezone now.
And as usual it provided you with a sub par effort. Try learning to write your own automations so you actually understand what is going on.
I think it may have lied to you. As far as I know, skipping a specific update does not prevent the notification showing up when the following update becomes available.
No idea why you didn't see any OS update notifications, but I seriously doubt it's because you pressed Skip when OS 15.0 came out in March 2025.
