Updater component - not working

anyone else with updater enabled in config but no sign of it in the components list?
anyone have a workaround for a way to trigger a notification when an update it available?

cheers

the updater component will only appear when an update is available. Also it does not appear immediately. Sometimes mine will take 12-24 hours to notify me of an update. The notification example in the component docs does work. Just give it a chance to work and it will.

Here is a topic about the updater, how it works and how you can setup your own sensor for update notifications.
