Update entities

note

This require experimental features enabled.

HACS provide update entities for all tracked repositories.

Install service​

Like all other update entities, you can use the update.install service to handle updates.

The "Version" field supports the folowing:

  • A GitHub tag (release)
  • A public branch of the repository (this does not include forks)
  • The full (not first 7) SHA of a commit

In case there is a branch and tag that have identical names, the tag will be used.

danger

Setting the version in this service call is considered an advanced feature, and should NOT be used without instructions to use it from the author of the repository you are updating.

If the repository does not support versions, or if the specified version is not compliant with HACS (or your Home Assistant version) it will fail with a message similar to this:
