Is there any way to get wordpress to check for, download private theme updates?
I found this plugin for private plugin updates....

I'm looking for the same thing but for themes.

If you don't want to roll your own solution, you can use kernl.us for hosted plugin updates.– Jack SlingerlandOct 18, 2015 at 3:55

It's quite possible. I've been doing this for years with my Version Checker plugin.
I do not distribute it openly, but in essence it checks a private version API , and then tosses the extra results into the update_core, update_plugins and update_themes site transients. WP then takes it seamlessly from there courtesy of the WP patches I supplied when I was developing it.

I have personally used this one and it is really good and awesome.
Using this library is easy you just have to add a piece of code to your functions.php file and host the theme.zip and a JSON file containing the new version numbers and other basic info somewhere in web publicly accessible.
If you want a hosted solution that you don't have to manage, check out Kernl. Its a service that provides the infrastructure for updating plugins and makes it easy to integrate into your own plugins.

Please do not copy/paste answers (this question isn't even about plugins) and disclose your affiliation if talking about products you are involved with.– RarstOct 18, 2015 at 9:43
I've found this that seems it might do the job.
