Updating Home Assistant

The safest way to update Home Assistant in a production environment is to run:

hassctl update-hass && hassctl config && hassctl restart

This set of commands will update Home Assistant, run a configuration check, and then restart.

If the update fails, the configuration check will not run.

If the configuration check fails, Home Assistant will not be restarted.

If you would like to install a specific version of Home Assistant, run:

hassctl update-hass 0.43.1 (replace 0.43.1 with the version you wish to install)

Updating hassctl
