Updater.updater missing

Configuration
1

Hi All,

Am I the only one who has not had the updater.updater entity for some time now? I have not been receiving any notifications regarding new home-assistant releases so i double checked everything. My configuration.yaml file has the updater: entry but i don’t see it in my list of current entities. I also checked my logbook and don’t see any entries in there regarding new updates. I’m on 0.33.4 but am going to upgrade to .34 now and see if it comes back.

I’ve been having the same problem. For the time being I’ve just been keeping an eye on the front page for updates.

same here, no updates with updater. Also no errors.

I lost updater notifications too…I believe it started with V 33.x. I’m now at 34.4 and no notifications. I did see this in the log: “homeassistant.components.updater: Got unexpected response: None” but don’t have a clue what it means.

I’m on 0.35.2 and don’t have updater.updater.

I see this in my error log from time to time:

16-12-19 11:02:37 homeassistant.components.updater: Got unexpected response: None

I noticed after the 0.36 release that my updater component is working again. The 0.36 release showed up on my front end this morning.

Hey there, a friend of mine and myself are still having issues with the updater component. Apart from the fact that it’s not displayed in the dev-state overview I personally don’t receive any notifications (I’m using below Pushbullet automation) anymore. I’m running 0.42.3 now and the last notificatin I received was with 0.40.2. I’m pretty sure that it isn’t a Pushbullet problem since my other notification is working just fine.

- alias: 'Info wenn Update verfügbar'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: updater.updater
  action:
    service: notify.pushbullet
    data_template:
      message: "Home Assistant {{ states.updater.updater.state }} is now available"

Even at the time I was still receiving the notifications, it had one or two days more compared to when I read the announcement on HA main page. I just saw that a delay of some hours seems to be intended by the developer but everything beyond seems pretty delayed to me.

Does anyone else still have the same issue or can point me in the right direction? I did already try to use the search function and checked for any related issues on github.

Thanks!

PS: I love HA and want to give a huge THANKS to all the people behind it. Great work!!!
Make home great again!

I’ve never recieved a notification too. Last 0.42 i waited 2 days, but nothing.
Made a command_line sensor like in the docs https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.command_line/#details-about-the-upstream-home-assistant-release and this works.

- platform: command_line
  command: python3 -c "import requests; print(requests.get('https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/json').json()['info']['version'])"
  name: Current HA Version

- alias: Update notification CMD
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.current_ha_version
  action:
    - service: notify.ios_my_phone
      data_template: 
        title: "New Home Assistant Release"
        message: "Home Assistant {{ states.sensor.current_ha_version.state }} is now available."

Hi VDRainer,

thanks for you confirmation and workaround. I guess I will just use the command line sensor then if that does the trick.

16

Thanks sir! Nice!

17

Thanks for the workaround. But was there a permanent / official solution to this? Having the same issues in 0.59.1.

Issue persists on 0.61
