Other way to automatically signal for custom-cards updates than HACS?

Configuration
32

thanks, no worries, no rush.

meanwhile I took the last_changed out (since it adds nothing really other than the last time the system is restarted…) and replaced it with the latest commit message, so I can see in a glance what was changed.

  - type: custom:auto-entities
    card:
      type: entities
      title: Github repos
      show_header_toggle: false
    filter:
      include:
        - entity_id: sensor.github*
          options:
            type: custom:template-entity-row
            state: >
              {% if state_attr(config.entity,'latest_release_url') %}
              {{ state_attr(config.entity,'latest_release_url').split('tag/')[1]}}
              {% else %} Not set
              {% endif %}
            secondary: >
              {{ state_attr(config.entity,'latest_commit_message')}}

first effort for an automation:

  - alias: 'GitHub repo update'
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: state_changed
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ trigger.event.data.entity_id.startswith('sensor.github')}}
      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {{ 'old_state' in trigger.event.data and 'new_state' in trigger.event.data and
             trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.latest_release_url !=
             trigger.event.data.old_state.attributes.latest_release_url }}
    action:
      service: notify.marijn
      data_template:
        title: Github repo update
        message: >
          {{trigger.event.data.entity_id}} was updated to {{trigger.event.data.entity_id.attributes.latest_release_url.split('tag/')[1]}}
