New firmware could be downloaded to the ESP automatically after a firmware update an shown a a prompt to the user (if the current firmware version would be added to the Tag check in websocket packets, I could also add this feature to my HA integration)

Personally, I don't like prompts like 'there is a new update ready for you', as imho they are mostly just disturbing, and for people that just use the system without any problems, not necessary (as we don't have security updates, due to the fact there's no security anyway ;-).
But, if you want to do a version check in HA, you can do a GET request to /sysinfo, to get the current running version:

{
	"alias": "Access Point office",
	"env": "Simple_AP",
	"buildtime": "1686305344",
	"buildversion": "custom",
	"sha": "0",
	"psramsize": 0,
	"flashsize": 4194304,
	"rollback": true
}

buildversion will contain the current release version if you run an automatic build.
For performing an update, the process relies on javascript in the browser, so initiating an update remotely will not easily be possible. But at least you can inform the user that there is an update available.

Added tag fw version and current channel id to the webinterface (and so, also to the websockets stream).
