It would be great if one can selectively update plugins and is not forced to update one plugin (which might be known to break the configuration) when only an update of a certain plugin is needed

Selective update installation

As a work-around it is possible to update the plugin in question from the command line. Say, the package pimatic-denon-avr shall be updated, this can be done as follows:
cd /home/pi/pimatic-app sudo npm update --unsafe-perm pimatic-denon-avr
Warning: Pimatic 0.9 Beta Testers should not do this as for some packages the required version has been tagged as “beta”. So, you may end up with updating to the wrong release. What may work is to add the version number explicitly, like
pimatic-denon-avr@0.8.9
