It will compare the two version numbers and if it is not the same the the blueprint will be triggered. If you have a beta version it will be a different file. I will add your sensors to my blueprint post as well click here, glade you like it and your kind words.

@Blacky For Sensor Light blueprint, you provided blueprint sensor code:

sensor:
  - platform: rest
    name: "Sensor Light Blueprint Gist Version Number"
    icon: mdi:cloud-tags
    resource: "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Blackshome/6edfec0ff6a25c5da0d07b88dc908238/raw/sensor-light.yaml"
    method: GET
    headers:
      accept: "text/plain"
    value_template: >
      {% set match = value | regex_findall('\\*\\*Version:\\s*([0-9.]+)\\*\\*') %}
      {{ match[0] if match else 'unknown' }}
    scan_interval: 86400

In HA system log it keeps logging (I truncated log entry):

Logger: homeassistant.core
Source: core.py:2358
First occurred: 14:49:45 (87 occurrences)
Last logged: 15:11:14

See [grouping](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/481048/34) sensors for more information. - If triggers are activated again before the time delay ends, the automation resets for continuous lighting. - **Scene and Script Integration:** - Scenes or scripts offer additional customization for your spaces. - **Light Control Options:** -

The sensor value is the full sensor-light.yaml file. This is larger than 255 characters and HA does not allow this for a sensor value.
Seamly the Version string part from the yaml failed to be extracted and results into the full file content.
How to solve this?
