Add managed firmware update system#99
Conversation
Port the managed firmware update system from R_PRO-1 to all AIR-1 variants: - Add http_request OTA platform alongside the existing esphome OTA - Add update component pulling the firmware manifest from GitHub Pages - Add safe_mode for recovery from failed updates - Build and publish the BLE variant (firmware-ble) so BLE devices update from their own manifest instead of being converted to the factory firmware
The http_request update component polls every 6h and the first poll fires before the network is up, so a freshly booted device would not see an available update for 6 hours. Trigger a manifest check as soon as WiFi connects.

Home Assistant shows only the first 255 characters of an ESPHome release summary, so boilerplate is expensive and ## headings render oversized in the update dialog: - Render category titles and What's Changed in bold instead of H2 - Drop the star-the-repo footer - Drop the Full Changelog line: it semver-truncates 4-part versions (always links ...X.Y.Z.1) - the shared build workflow now appends a correct compare link instead

Ports the managed OTA update system from R_PRO-1 to all AIR-1 variants, so devices can self-update from the GitHub Pages manifests directly in Home Assistant.
Changes
update: http_requestcomponent (Firmware Update entity in HA) +ota: http_requestplatform on all three variants, pulling from the existing GitHub Pages manifestssafe_modefor boot-loop recovery after a bad flashhttp_requestwithverify_ssl: true(esp-idf TLS, same as R_PRO-1)firmware-ble/manifest, andAIR-1_BLE.yamlupdates from it — without this, a BLE device taking an update would be silently converted to the factory (non-BLE) firmware and lose Bluetooth proxywifi.on_connect: the update component's first 6-hour poll fires before the network is up and skips silently, leaving the entity stale for ~6h after every boot (R_PRO-1 has this today). The trigger makes the entity accurate within seconds of boot.min_versionraised to 2025.11.0 to match the floor R_PRO-1 set when this system landed thereDeep-sleep note: prevent-sleep defaults on and the existing OTA-mode handling keeps the device awake during installs; for sleep-enabled units the on_connect check costs a couple of seconds of awake time per wake cycle.
Flash usage after the port (local compile, ESPHome 2026.1.3): AIR-1 66%, Factory 90.6%, BLE 93.6%.
Testing
The identical port was tested end to end on a physical MTR-1 (factory and BLE manifest paths): flash → update offered in HA with release notes → OTA install from Pages → reboot on new version → Bluetooth proxy intact on the BLE variant. AIR-1 fork CI verified building and publishing both manifests; all three variants compile-verified locally.
Note for support: devices need outbound HTTPS (443) to
apolloautomation.github.io— isolated IoT VLANs that block egress will show "up to date" forever withESP_ERR_HTTP_CONNECTin debug logs.
