@auanasgheps thanks a lot taking the effort and improve the original blueprint!
Really appreciate it.
Because i was also distracte by the retry intervalls i have modified the orignal blueprint to just push notifications once a week.
Here it is:
blueprint:
name: Update notifications
description: Send notifications for new updates and install or skip on action
homeassistant:
min_version: 2022.4.0
domain: automation
input:
update_entities:
name: Update entities

as soon as one is available.

default: false

description: >
0 = disabled. Otherwise sends reminders every N weeks on the selected
weekday and time.
default: 1
selector:

max: 12
step: 1

reminder_weekday:
name: Reminder weekday
description: Weekday on which reminder notifications should be sent
default: Saturday
selector:

selector:

take_backup:
name: Take backup
description: Do a partial backup before updating if able
default: true
selector:
boolean: {}
run_config_check:
name: Run config check
description: >
If true, this automation will start the `check configuration`
addon when a core update is available. The notification will initially say
config check is running and then update when it completes. Clicking the notification
will open that addon's logs so you can check the status. WARNING: You must
list your update entity for core in `update_entities` to use this feature.
default: false
selector:
boolean: {}
changelog_urls:
name: Changelog urls
description: >
Some update entities (ex. the ones for addons) don't have a link
to the changelog because they can't. If this bothers you then you can provide
a dictionary here. Each key should be an update entity ID and the value the
url to its changelog. This will only be used if `release_url` is `null` on
the update entity. EX. `update.adguard_home_update: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-adguard-home/releases/latest`
or `update.mariadb_update: https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/blob/473ffc13a36af757dbdc9187018d16b88b95493e/mariadb/CHANGELOG.md`

update_entities:

mobile_app_device_2: xxxxx
reminder_weeks: 1
reminder_weekday: Friday
reminder_time: "14:00:00"
The benefit is that not on every update my HA instance/phone wants me to update this thing 
and again, and again... i'll do it when i have time but want one update notification in a week.
So when i looked at the features and migration list of @e-raser i saw that "None" interval was removed.
I like the other features you have added so my question are:
- Can you please add the "None" Intervall back?
- And optionally Notification when they arrive?
- or once on a defined calender event?
That would be really nice.
keep up the good work.
Update Notifications for Home Assistant
This is an evolution of this blueprint, which hasn't received updates in ages. I have only updated it, but the original author has to be credited for the idea and most of the initial work.
