Update Button

Configuration
1

Hi.

Home Assistant is pushing updates like a maniak :slight_smile: . Ofcourse this is a good thing!.
I’d like to keep my instance up-to-date and therefore are looking for a way to make things easy.

I’m using Home Assistant on a tablet with “Custom Header” so there is no big bar on top and no menu on the side.

Question;
Is there a way to make a button that shows me there is an update, and to launch that update from it.

There are two sensors to tell you the relevant information : -

sensor:
  - platform: version
    name: Installed Version
    source: local
  - platform: version
    name: Latest Available Version

You still need to get to supervisor to update though

Or use an automation for all types of updates:
First the sensors:


# Sensors

#https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.rest/
#used to determine the exact versions available for my system

  - platform: rest
    resource: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hassio-version/stable.json
    name: Latest Version supervisor
    value_template: "{{ value_json.supervisor }}"
    scan_interval: 3600
  - platform: rest
    resource: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hassio-version/stable.json
    name: Latest version Hassio
    value_template: "{{ value_json.homeassistant.raspberrypi3 }}"
    scan_interval: 3600
  - platform: rest
    resource: https://s3.amazonaws.com/hassio-version/stable.json
    name: Latest version HassOS
    value_template: "{{ value_json.hassos.rpi3 }}"
    scan_interval: 3600

And then the automation with notifications:


- id: new_home_assistant_version
  alias: "New Home Assistant Version"
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: 
        - sensor.latest_version_hassio
        - sensor.latest_version_hassos
        - sensor.latest_version_supervisor
  action:
    - service: notify.mobile_app_rene_s_iphone_11
      data_template:
        title: Upgrade time!
        message: >
          {% if trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.latest_version_hassio' %}
            There is a Home Assistant Hassio upgrade pending!
            Version {{ states('sensor.latest_version_hassio') }} just got released!
          {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.latest_version_hassos' %}
            There is a Home Assistant HassOS upgrade pending!
            Version {{ states('sensor.latest_version_hassos') }} just got released!
          {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.latest_version_supervisor' %}
            There is a Home Assistant Supervisor upgrade pending!
            Version {{ states('sensor.latest_version_supervisor') }} just got released!
          {% endif %}
        data:

    - service: persistent_notification.create
      data_template:

            Version {{ states('sensor.latest_version_hassio') }} just got released!
          {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.latest_version_hassos' %}
            There is a Home Assistant HassOS upgrade pending!
            Version {{ states('sensor.latest_version_hassos') }} just got released!

          {% endif %}
