Feature Request: Start Tasmota Firmware Update via Homeassistant

[FaserF]

Homeassistant has a cool new feature, where integrations can display if its device has a firmware update available. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/update/

Would it be possible to implement this? Would be quite nice, to have this update sensor and start firmware updates through Homeassistant.

Hope this get enough attention. I love this idea

+1 for this. I would also love to have this integration in HA. At the moment it is only possible to do a swarm firmware update for tasmota with some other tools but these tools would be obsolete if we get a integration in HA.

+1 if we can have a way to specify the base URL for the tasmota binaries. I disallow most of my IOT devices from accessing the Internet, but I have an intranet website set up for tasmota OTA upgrades.

I hope this feature request is still alive. I have a bunch of tasmota devices, and it would be incredible to have this feature in the integration.

Just use tasmo admin for updating your tasmota devices. You can install it via add on.

tasmoadmin is really nice, but a full integration (as in esphome) would be much more user-friendly.

Once you reach critical mass (over 10 devices) updating via Tasmota would be massively useful.

+1 I would be very happy to at least have an update sensor entity for my Tasmota devices. So I would know when an update is available. The update itself can be issued through TasmoAdmin for now.

Would also highly appreciate the feature. Until then, I am using simple bash script to trigger OTA update on all my devices. Sure, not a perfect solution (plain PW, manual list of IP addresses ...) but works fine for me. Might also work per command from inside HA via MQTT integration - but did not find time to work that out.

#!/bin/bash

devices=(
    "10.2.0.68"
    "10.2.0.21"
    "10.2.0.176"
    "10.2.0.234"
    "10.2.0.220"
    "10.2.0.121"
    "10.2.0.95"
    "10.2.0.202"
    "10.2.0.105"
    "10.2.0.126"
    "10.2.0.248"
    "10.2.0.39"
    "10.2.0.82"
)

start_ota_update() {
    local device_ip=$1
    echo "Starte OTA-Update auf $device_ip"

    response=$(curl -s -X POST "http://$device_ip/cm?user=admin&password=*******&cmnd=Upgrade%201")

    if echo "$response" | grep -q "Upgrade"; then
        echo "OTA-Update auf $device_ip gestartet:"
        echo "Antwort: $response"
    else
        echo "Fehler beim Starten des OTA-Updates auf $device_ip."
        echo "Antwort: $response"
    fi
}

for device in "${devices[@]}"; do
    start_ota_update "$device"
done
