Manually running updater

[boneless]

Hi all,

Quick question… Is it possible to manually run a update of the updater.updater sensor thingy?

Take a look here

Is updater not working for anyone else lately? Haven't gotten notifications for the last few updates

If i’m right, the updater runs 1 hour after HA start and then every day at the same time. -> /srv/homeassi/lib/python3.4/site-packages/homeassistant/components/updater.py # Update daily, start 1 hour after startup _dt = datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1) If you can’t wait, change to 1 or 2 minutes. _dt = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=1) and restart HA. When your loglevel is debug, logger: default: warn logs: homeassistant.components.updater: debug you would see …

There are also some examples of sensors that people create to get update notifications.

Thanks!

Easiest fix was the rest sensor

- platform: rest
  name: "HA available version"
  resource: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/json
  value_template: '{{ value_json.info.version }}'
  scan_interval: 3600
