Update all but only online devices?

[Gandarf]

Hi,

In Home Assistant ESPHome tab, when clicking Update all. Everything is first compiled and linked before checking the IP of the device.
I have a lot of offline devices, so it takes a very long time.

Is it possible to update all online devices only?
Did not find any setting for that.

Would be nice that the update process first checks/resolves the IP before starting the compile. That would save huge amount of time for me and probably more people.

Thanks,
Mark

+1 here, kinda…

I’m not sure if I’d need an online/offline check, I’d rather like to select the devices to update and afterwards start the update.

Something like Update all | Update selected

That would be enough for me.

EDIT:
Just for reference, this is discussed now in a feature request topic, that you can find here:

Multi-select in Updates

A small change that saves a lot of time. Especially for people who have lots of esphome devices with the same firmware. I for example, have over 100 esphome with the same firmware. To update them all to the latest esphome version, I have to go through them one by one everytime. All im asking is to just have a multi-select option on FE, then it can process all the selections one by one in sequence.
