Have Homey any functions to update devices that support over the air (OTA) update of the devices firmware? For exampel if you have a new firmware in an “.ota” file?

I fully agree: the ‘smart-home-world’ really should solve this thing.

Can’t we create a petition and send it to all the manufacturers? Perhaps it should even be regulated by law throughout the EU that firmware updates for smart home devices can also be made via hubs from other companies.

It shouldn’t matter which controller I use. If I have 3 lamps from Ikea and 2 from Phillips plus a Xiaomi motion detector …

Does anyone know if OTA will be a part of the Matter inplementation? I googled it but can’t find any information about this.
