As this is configurable (default on) you could just disable the function in the esphome add-on configuration

I don’t see this option in my ESPHome Add-on configuration.
Did you try to “Show unused optional configuration options”? 
This is mine.
So you had success disabling it? Congrats - you should now receive no more update notifications for esphome nodes in HA 
Alternatively it’s also possible to only disable the update notifications for particular nodes by disabling the corresponding _firmware entity.
It has been off for months. That is why it was behind " Show unused optional configuration options"- it was already turned off. I.E. Unused.
Because I have 64 devices and you have to disable the update one-at-a-time. Then a few days later a new ESPHome update is released and I have to do it all over again.
If you disable the a update.esphomename_firmware it will stay disable and not enable itself after a update 
You don’t have by chance any other esphome (dashboard) add-ons running (like beta, dev, `libretiny, etc.)? I disabled this
The moment the update notifications for esphome nodes in HA was introduce (back in february 2023?) and never got any notifications since then 
In case you don’t have other esphome add-ons running you might wanna try enable that configuration so can disable it again or otherwise try uninstalling the esphome dashboard completly and install it again to see if it makes a difference 
No. 
What you’re talking about: ignore the update for each device after an update from ESPHome Add-on in the system settings of HA. Aka “ignore” or “update”.
What I’m talking about: the sensor for the firmware in the ESPHome integration in HA, where you can disable the “Firmware” entity.
No sensor => no update warning

I’m cautious right now, after the disaster with the deafult values, but I can say exactly the same as @stevemann, sorry. I never had this configuration enabled, and I do get the update notifications. From my understanding, this setting does disable the automatic discovery of ESPHome devices in HA. That seems to be correct, as my devices won’t get discovered by HA, unless I add them manually (IP address).
@orange-assistant, I really do appreciate your assistance in the past months, maybe years. I know that a response from you will be factual and usually helpful.
But on this issue, you seem to be over-sensitive, and miss the big picture.
I prefer to keep everything on my system up-to-date. This is why permanently hiding updates is not an option. I usually update core and OS within a day or two of their release. I keep most of my ESPHome devices up-to-date, but manually. Why manual only? Of my 65 devices, invariably one or two of them will not update completely and leave the device bricked, requiring a UART re-flash. And, of course, it only happens with the most inaccessible devices.
You had said:
- I didn’t see the “how to” in the threads, and
- Does this hide the updates in the ESPHome dashboard (the blue line)?
To reiterate- I like the update system before this “feature” was added to Home Assistant. I know there’s updates available from the blue lines on the ESPHome dashboard. I know there will be device updates available if I update the ESPHome add-on. I do not need to be hammered with 65 ESPHome device updates in Home Assistant. THIS is all I want to stop- the individual device updates available in Home Assistant. It is redundant information.
I have the “old” behavior (esphome dashboard not talking to HA causing update notifications) by having the configuration disabled which introduced this feature
To my knowledge (and mileage) this disables communication of the esphome dashboard add-on with HA.
Referring to that sentence here
No, that isn’t even user configurable afaik.
HOW? That is not a switch.
I had this on when it was introduced and got rid of the (new) notifications after I disabled it. 
No, it got nothing to to with the esphome integration in HA which works completely independent from the esphome dashboard add on (which can connect via the esphome dashboard integration to HA).
So in case you don’t have any
you could try enabling the setting and save it. Restart the esphome dashboard add on just do disable it again. 
In my case all my _firmware esphome entities are unavailable (always, also when I add new nodes and I never disabled any entity manually). And the only option I made (shortly after this new notifications were introduced) was to disable the mentioned config in the dashboard add-on since then I have total silence

I hear you @orange-assistant, so I will run some tests, when the next ESPHome update is available. One with and one without that setting enabled, I’ll be corious to see, what’s happening.
It’s hard to test it right now, without an update available, because I have all my devices updated (as usual) right after the last update from ESPHome (Add-on).
@stevemann Click on that firmware entity in the screen I posted the pic from above. In the popup opened, click on the cogwheel (right top corner, second from right).

(Finally).
Standing in the forest and looking for a tree. I finally realized that the Firmware is an entity of the device, and this disables the Firmware entity for this device. If there is no entity, there’s nothing to update.
Many thanks for your patience- both of you.

So the new ESPHome update for this month has just arrived, and I wanted to test that a little.
@orange-assistant
Any specific ideas on what to test? I’d do this way, but am open to all ideas:
- Disable two of the “firmware” entities for two ESPHome devices
- Install new ESPHome Add-on version
- Check which devices are listed under repairs
- Report back
Anything I’m missing?
No that should do it. The two you disable should not generate update notifications.

Here we go with the confirmation of the above stated! 
If you disable the firmware entity of that device, it will not be listed under the devices to update in the system settings.
So this is the solution, if you don’t want to be notified about an update of that specific entity (see the pic):
