Firmware updates not showing in Home Assistant

The problem

I'm new to this and I cannot find the answer through documentation, web search, etc.

I created a bluetooth proxy via https://esphome.io/projects/index.html. Since updating Home Asssistant to 2025.12.0 I have a repair asking me to update my device with ESPHome 2025.11.0, but it doesn't tell me how to do that.

I know how to do it if I "control" the device via ESPHome addon, but this one was created by projects and I do not control it.

When I check the device page in Home Assistant for my bluetooth proxy it incorrectly says the firmware is up to date (Firmware: 25.8.2 (ESPHome 2025.8.2)). When I check the firmware release notes I can see that four new firmware versions have been released, but Home Assistant doesn't see them when I check for updates.

What is the proper way to update ESPHome on a device built via projects?

Which device are you using?

Generic

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

I decided to just "take control", which caused it to do a new build which put the latest firmware. Going forward I'll have the ability to update since I control the node.

I guess this issue is more about user experience as it was not clear to me how to handle this "repair" from documentation, the repair language itself, the link the repair sends the user to.
