I have a number of flows that rely on the “old” style uptime integration which will no longer work once I upgrade to HA 2020.12.
Does anyone have any ideas on deriving uptime duration from the new format?

Just create a new sensor based on the uptime sensor, then use the new sensor on Node Red.
- platform: uptime
name: "HA Uptime"
- platform: template
sensors:
ha_runtime:
friendly_name: "Home Assistant Runtime"
value_template: >
{{ (((as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states('sensor.ha_uptime'))) ) /60 ) | int }}

Thanks, @oriolism I had considered that but I was hoping to create a NR function instead of yet another entry in my sensors.yaml! 
However, I will try this out today as it will at least solve the immediate problem whie I hone my NR function writing skills!
Thanks again.

Thanks @Kermit. Obviously a man of few words, but your flows speak for themselves! Both options work great, appreciated.
Why doesn’t this function work anymore?
the binary_sensor.updater entity does contain that information in mls by default… you don’t need any extra entities nor any integration
