Today I updated all of my online devices to the latest ESPHome version 2022.6.2 but the notifications won’t go away…
Is there another way to get rid of these notifications? The notifications hide the ‘Visit’ button for some devices, don’t show the green bar, it’s annoying.
I tried to refresh the page, restart Home Assistant/ESPHome, cleared cache. Unfortunately I’m not able to hit the Update All button within ESPHome because my Raspberry Pi 4 will freeze… I update all the devices through CLI on my Mac.
Than they are not totally updated. The installation of ESPHome saves the actual version for what itself compiled. But if you do the compile on another machine and upload it, the device is updated, but not the let’s say “inventory” in your ESPHome installation.
The compiled firmware in your installation is not an updated one, so the message(s) show up, but the device should work with the updated version from the Mac.
What I’d do: hit the update button in your original installation and let it run the update one by one. This will either install new fimrware on the devices, so you did that twice, or you could just compile the firmware and download it to somewhere. ESPHome should now think, the devices firmware is the one you compiled, and so don’t give out messages. But you’d still need to compile it on that machine.
The other method would be to copy the compiled firmware from left to right, but I have no idea, if there are other files involved, so that seems risky.
Btw. the “visit” button is not hidden by the update button, it has something to do with the configuration for that device. It doesn’t show with all devices, iirc it was something with web server or captive portal, but I might be wrong here. I only have the visit button for one out of 28 devices
Nonetheless you should check why your Pi freezes with the update. I do know that from smaller PIs, like a 2 or 3, but the 4 should be able to run that.

Thanks for your reply. Although I find it a weird situation.
I try to update all the devices one by one, but they will compile and this will freeze my Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB), but even if the Pi freezes and ESPHome is not able to finish the update, the Update Available notification is gone.
