pyhaversion

What it is and what it does

pyhaversion is a Python library that retrieves the latest Home Assistant version information from various sources. It uses aiohttp for async HTTP requests and awesomeversion for version handling, making it suitable for applications that need to check for Home Assistant updates without blocking.

The package is designed for developers integrating Home Assistant version-checking into tools, dashboards, or automation workflows. It abstracts away the complexity of querying multiple version sources, presenting a unified interface for fetching current release information.

Use it for:

• Check for Home Assistant updates in a monitoring dashboard or management tool
• Automate Home Assistant deployment pipelines by querying the latest available version
• Build a bot or notification system that alerts users when new Home Assistant releases are available
• Integrate version checking into Home Assistant companion applications or add-ons

Yes, if you need to programmatically fetch Home Assistant version information. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and active maintenance. The 794-day gap since the last release is notable but the repository shows recent commits, suggesting the maintainer is still engaged. Verify that the supported version sources match your needs before committing.
