WTH - MQTT update entities

Archive Month of "What the heck?!" 2022

I use zigbee2mqtt and have about 80 devices in my ZigBee network. There are regularly firmware updates but MQTT devices cannot create update entities

Why the heck can’t MQTT devices create update entities?? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Isn’t that a request for z2m? If z2m doesn’t create the entry in the mqtt, then HA can’t create the sensor.
As far as I can tell, it shows the version, but not if there is an update?

Z2M has tried but HA does not allow MQTT update entities - Add `update_progress` & `update_finishes_at` sensors by mdegat01 · Pull Request #11999 · Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt · GitHub
