Important information about updates
Since each major versions of Home Assistant might bring breaking changes, you will only auto-update for minor releases. Each major release must be upgraded manually, by switching channel.
See available channels in the software center or with
snap info home-assistant-snap
Please use the stable versions, e.g 2021.8/stable
.
You can switch channel with:
` $ snap switch home-assistant-snap --channel=<channel> `
where <channel>
could be 2021.8/stable
.
There is a binary sensor binary_sensor.updater
that will flip to true
from false
whenever there are updates available in a newer channel. Use this to show a notification whenever a new major release is available.
