Question about binary sensor as presence template

Sorry quick question. Any difference between updating image, and name in known devices, vs customize.yaml, or is the end result pretty much the same.

thanks

I’ll have to defer to someone else who knows HA better. That’s just the way I originally set it up when I was pretty new to HA. (I still am! )

No difference, just preference. Back in the day, those options didn’t exist in both areas. I’m pretty sure image is new to customization (it’s old now but it didn’t always exist).

try this for templating the unit of measurement:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.ha_update_available:
      state_card_mode: badges
      templates:
        unit_of_measurement: ${entities['sensor.ha_latest_version'].state}
