HA Addon Sensor Update

Configuration
1

Here is another way of detecting if there are any Home assistant addon that need updating. It just searches through the update domain and counts any addon’s that has a status of true and records the entity_id

 template:
  - sensor:
      - name: 'addon_update'
        attributes: 
          entity: |
              {% set ns=namespace(e = []) %}
              {% for s in states.update if 'on' in s.state %}
                {% set ns.e = ns.e + [s.entity_id] %}
              {% endfor %}
              {{ns.e}}
        state: |    
            {{states.sensor.addon_update.attributes.entity|count|int}}

The state returns the number of addon that need updating and the entity attribute list the entity id

Hope its useful to someone :slight_smile:

@lonebaggie Does this count hacs updates too? or OS updates?
i want a sensor to count how many updates there all (ALL of them , so hacs, os, addons etc etc) , when you click on it, it should bring me to the page to update.
