Maybe consider a new version instead of 2.0.0 limiting to 20240601 #513

Hey there,

right now I have stopped automatic updates to ESPHome as 20240501 caused a lot of issues for me, it would be nice if you do new changes and limiting to 20240601 in a new version as probably a lot more people haven´t updated to 20240601 / 20240501,02,03

Could you please explain why 20240601 would be the way to go?

Thanks a lot B

The ota component requires the platform option since ESPHome 2024.6. If you try to compile the updated example YAML including the platform option the validation will throw an error on pre 2024.6 releases.

In other words: This component still works with previous ESPHome versions but the examples must be adapted a bit (platform: esphome line must be removed).

Do you still suggest a new major release? The breaking chance happened at ESPHome and this project is just affected slightly. ;-)
