Sensor platform removed?

Third party integrations

I just went to update HACS and under breaking changes I read:

I have dozens of template sensors in my config file. Do I need to worry about losing functionality? All are platform: template so I’m not exactly sure what the sensor platform is referring to, i.e.

binary_sensor:
 - platform: template
   sensors:
     # Contact Sensor
       alarm_front_door:
         friendly_name: "Front Door"
         device_class: door
         value_template: "{{ state_attr('alarm_control_panel.alarm_com', 'sensor_status')|regex_search('Front Door is Open', ignorecase=True) }}"

Also not sure why this would be listed specifically under HACS, so I’m thinking it’s not relevant to me.

Thanks for any clarification

No. This is about a specific sensor that HACS used to provide, not your YAML sensors from other platforms.

But which sensors are actually removed here? I cann’t find the corresponding commit in the full change log. For example I currently use the attributes of sensor.hacs in version 1.34.0 to be informed about available updates to any custom components. Will sensor.hacs become unavailable when I update to 2.0.0?

Edit:
I found this commit:

And it looks like it is acutally about the sensor I am using. But is there any replacement for the update attributes in this sensor?

Ahaaa, this is probably this replacement:

Hi, I read about the possibility to use the content of text files from the os as sensor values.
Was this the kind of sensor which has been removed ?
