[Request] turn off automatic check of update of firmware

[4c2]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I turned on the automatic check for update under: Info -> System -> Firmware update.
Later on I wanted to turn it of. But unfortunately, there is no option to turn it off again.

Describe the solution you'd like

have an option under Firmware update to turn off the automated check (again).

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. leave it as it is: disadvantage: github is contacted every log in. it is privacy protection issue "only"
2. add "check once" button: may cause additional work and benefit is less

Additional context

used version: v24.2.16

@4c2

you are correct, very intreaguing.

i've just found out, the firmware check setting, is currently saved at the local browser storage, not at the dtu.
it's handled purely in js within the browser, and not at the dtu.
(so if we switch it on, it's just for this single browser only)

as a workaround, we can currently either

1. clear the complete browser storage of the opendtu ip and reload the page (quick & easy),

or

2. set the browser's local storage value allowVersionInfo to 0 as seen at the screenshot below (more clicks)

yes, this works. thanks. In firefox, one can find the settings here:

(set from 1 --> 0 and refresh page.

Shall we leave the issue open for further improvements?

Shall we leave the issue open for further improvements?

probably yes, as it sounds reasonable to be able to reset this value from within the opendtu gui
