Could you please update your system, try it again and let me know the results?

With this version combination (see screenshot), I see no change. The error still happens.

You are using a TFT v16.0. But it is even worse, as the HA API will have rounding issues with v16.1:

I will have to handle as text everywhere. :(

Yes problem is that there is no notification and no auto update for 16.1. I have to trigger it manually. For previous versions auto update worked fine.

The empty notification problem still happens with 16.1

Yes problem is that there is no notification and no auto update for 16.1. I have to trigger it manually. For previous versions auto update worked fine.

But that was intentional... Any 16.x means the same protocol is used, so only minor changes... it will only trigger the update (and message) when v17.x is required.
I can improve that later. But anyhow, this logic is disconnected from the format of version.

The empty notification problem still happens with 16.1

That fix is on ESPHome only, so it should work even with TFT 16.0. But requires latest ESPHome.
Could you please share ESPHome verbose logs from when you call the notification?
