Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on to scratch my own itch.

I use a ton of blueprints for everything in my setup, but I honestly hate the manual update process. Checking for new versions, manually downloading YAMLs, and then remembering which one I updated... it was just a lot of busywork.

So I wrote a custom integration called Blueprints Updater.

Basically, it scans your blueprints, finds the ones with a source_url, and creates native Home Assistant update entities for them.

Now, when a blueprint has an update, it just pops up in Settings > System > Updates exactly like HACS integrations or HA core updates. I also added an optional Auto-Update toggle for the ones I trust to just update themselves in the background.

How to install & setup: I've submitted it to the official HACS list, but while that's pending, you can add it as a Custom repository:

Open HACS > Click the three dots (top right) > Custom repositories. Paste this link: https://github.com/luuquangvu/blueprints-updater and select "Integration" as the category. Search for "Blueprints Updater" in HACS, download it, and restart HA. Finally, go to Settings > Devices & Services > Add Integration and search for Blueprints Updater. It'll start scanning your blueprints and showing update entities for anything that has a source_url tag in its YAML.

Hope it helps! Let me know if you run into any issues or have ideas to make it better. Thank you very much!
