Get a notification, when project add a new release on GitHub?

Configuration
1

I use various projects on GitHub that aren’t necessarily related to Home Assistant. These projects all provide a release RSS feed where new releases for Project XY are automatically listed.

Is there a way to automate this in Home Assistant so that I receive a notification when Project XYZ releases a new version? What do I need to set up to do this?

There are RSS readers in HACS - Feedparser, for example.

But wouldn’t the projects have to implement an RSS feed? I don’t think it’s there by default.

I’ve never used it, but there’s a built-in integration for github which has a specific sensor for latest release. Looks straightforward enough, and I believe that will get you what you want.

Thanks. I’ve integrated that and actually found an entity labeled “latest version.” I’ve set up an automation based on that and am waiting to see what happens when a new release comes out for one of the projects. It would be great if that works.

To test it, I still have the same feeds in FreshRSS and will see if anything happens there.
