## Introducing update entities

|
||||
Say "hi!" to a brand new entity type: `update`.
|
||||
|
||||
This release we introduce a brand new entity type: `update` entities.
|
||||
Updates can tell you if an update is available for your device and service and,
|
||||
in some cases, allow you to install the update straight from Home Assistant!
|
||||
|
||||
Update entities can be provided by integrations, and indicate if there is
|
||||
an update for your device or service pending. If an update is pending,
|
||||
information for this update is provided.
|
||||
And the beautiful thing is: They show up in your configuration Dashboard, just
|
||||
like a Home Assistant, Home Assistant OS, or add-on update. As a matter of fact,
|
||||
those are now update entities too!
|
||||
|
||||
For example, it provides the version number of the new version available, links
|
||||
to release notes, and even summaries of release notes (if available).
|
||||
Now updates are entities other integrations can provide them too! For example,
|
||||
a WLED firmware update for your LED strip will show up and installs
|
||||
with a single click.
|
||||
|
||||
If an integration can, it can also offer you to install the update! Directly
|
||||
from the Home Assistant UI; or you can choose to skip the update and thus
|
||||
dismiss it.

||||

|
||||
A WLED firmware update can now be installed just like any other update.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Update entities are now provided and available for the Supervisor, that provides
|
||||
an update entities for the Home Assistant Core, OS and all its installed add-ons.
|
||||
These `update` entities can be provided by integrations and provide more
|
||||
information about the update, like: Version information, links to release notes,
|
||||
and the possibility to skip that specific version offered.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, WLED has implemented update entities to install firmware directly
|
||||
from Home Assistant, and Pi-hole and Synology DSM can indicate if an update
|
||||
is available.
|
||||
The blue number indicator on the configuration cog icon in your sidebar tells
|
||||
you how many updates are pending.

||||

||||

|
||||
The Home Assistant Supervisor (providing Core, OS, and add-on updates), WLED,
|
||||
Pi-hole, and Synology DSM integrations have implemented these brand new
|
||||
update entities in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
And because they are all entities, it means you can automate with them. For
|
||||
example, you could send a notification when a new add-on update is available
|
||||
for installation.
