title: "Version compare for Update platform can now be overwritten"
---
With the merge of [core PR #124797](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/124797), which will land in Home Assistant Core 2024.10, there is a new method in the update platform: `version_is_newer()`.
Before this change, the compare logic between firmware installed version, new available version and beta version was hardcoded:
```python
def version_is_newer(self, latest_version: str, installed_version: str) -> bool:
"""Return True if latest_version is newer than installed_version."""
return AwesomeVersion(latest_version) > installed_version
```
Now the new method allows developers to customize this comparison, writing their own method.
Here's an example (implemented for Shelly gen1 devices):
```python
def version_is_newer(self, latest_version: str, installed_version: str) -> bool:
"""Return True if available version is newer then installed version."""
return AwesomeVersion(
latest_version,
find_first_match=True,
ensure_strategy=[AwesomeVersionStrategy.SEMVER],
) > AwesomeVersion(
installed_version,
find_first_match=True,
ensure_strategy=[AwesomeVersionStrategy.SEMVER],
)
```
