really need a version control to install older esphome version

[Oldie-driver]

Describe the enhancement

Sorry, maybe i wrong here, maybe bad explanation.
This year i have a lot of problems after update ESPHome as add-on of Home Assitant.
I tell now only the last problem after update to 2025.8.4.
I use a esp32-c3 inside a soyo. Soyo is a battery inverter. The esp32-c3 take date like power using from grid, battery data and set how much power shall came from the soyo. Base is github://syssi/esphome-soyosource-gtn-virtual-meter@main

After update esphome, compile fine, update the soyo and then....can not read data from soyo; without data, can not control setting of the soyo.
Yes, i even check a lot, finally maybe the soyo just got hardware damaged at the same time? So even open and check inside the soyo.

After hours i found a old sys-24v.ota.bin from february 2025, as i test the right timing to control the soyo. I flash this...and all work again fine. I hope only, this is a version with well timing, else i must restart the soyo every 3 days^^

Some in 2025.8.4 must be broken, with my knowledge i can not say GPIO mapping, using of 2 hardware uart at the same time, uart settings or what ever. So i can not really give a bug report.
Even a other esp32-c3 is broken, i use there github://Fabian-Schmidt/esphome-victron_ble for reading data over ble from victron smart solar charger. the bug here, can read now only one charger. Quick workaround, use one esp32-c3 for every charger. I have not a old *.ota.bin to verify is really only the update to 2025.8.4.
There are more problems this year after earlier updates, maybe ESPHome, maybe library, not sure. One workaround in one case was not longer using the web server on the device.

For this year, ESPhomes updates are danger like a open ssh port without any security to the internet. And yes: some just happens and thanks the people for the work, but 2025.8.x should not be the experiment testing line like show this year.

A quick help was a version control, witch make it easy possible, to switch back 1 or better up to 5 version in the past. The other option, never touch a runing system, never update. Like still using win3.11 at this days.

Use cases

This will easy make a workaround for ESPhome device, if update of ESPhome was a really bad idee.
