Helpers - Groups - Updates

Feature Requests

I would like to see update.* device group make its way into the helper ui

Currently, I use a conditional card to display who has available updates. I will manually make a template sensor to watch all update entities so I can put a badge on my main dashboard if an update is available.
It would be a nice addition to have it managed via UI in my opinion and should be pretty simple to add considering they are binary sensors just under a different group.

Much love,
Chris

+1 for this. Love the new update entities and assumed that as the state is actually a binary sensor, you could group these sensors. However the device class is firmware or none, so adding these as a group via yaml throws an error. I believe it is simply allowing these 2 additional device classes to be grouped.

Here’s what I did for now (Requires Mushroom Cards for UI) – Hopefully it will help you in your current use case. I still would love to see this become part of ‘Helpers’ though.

Inside of Groups.yaml (Can’t remember if I made this and import it in the configuration.yaml)

update_devices:
  name: update_available
  entities:
    - update.amcrest2mqtt_update
    - update.attic_sw
    - update.backyard_ap
    - update.frontyard_ap
    - update.home_assistant_core_update
    - update.home_assistant_operating_system_update
    - update.home_assistant_supervisor_update
    - update.limited_guest_access_update
    - update.livingrm_sw
    - update.mariadb_update
    - update.mosquitto_broker_update
    - update.multipurposerm_ap

    - update.node_red_update
    - update.office_sw
    - update.pi_hole_core_update_available
    - update.pi_hole_ftl_update_available
    - update.pi_hole_web_update_available
    - update.rack_aggregation

Also, in another page on my UI – I have a list of available updates
