Retrieve firmware version from tasmota devices

Configuration
1

I recently switched to the new (as in newer than MQTT + HA Discovery enabled) for my tasmota devices. Does anyone know how to retrieve the tasmota firmware version from the devices on a template maybe? I see the data listed if I click on Configuration -> Integrations -> Tasmota -> Devices -> Device

This shows me a screen with the device info, which lists the firmware version on the device, but I do not see an entity or sensor that would provide this information.

You can use the TasmotaAdmin add-on for that

Edit: oops, sorry, should be reading better…that onfo you have allready.
I don’t think that info is available from a sensor.
It is part of Tasmota (web) info:

I’m not really seeing an option to install that on my setup (virtualenv) either through integrations or HACS. TBH, I’d rather a native template or sensor based solution than a 3rd party plugin.

I can probably write something that will do the trick, but before I waste my time, I want to make sure i’m not re-inventing the wheel here.

It is from Frenck, so hardly a 3rd party addon I’d say :wink:

I’ll see if I can figure out how to install that on my setup. A quick glance over the readme doesn’t provide too many clues though.
