OS: Armbian 5.85 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.19.42-meson64
System: Odroid C2
HA Version: 0.93.1 and 0.93.2
We receive this error:
ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.updater] Could not contact Home Assistant Update to check for updates
I’m trying to track down the error, but that’s absolutely all that is in the HA log, and I can’t find any log files that have any details of HA’s efforts to update itself or the specifics of the error. Are there any other log files that might contain details?
From the component code looks like a timeout or client error.
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/updater/init.py#L143
If it happened once, I would just ignore it, may have been a connection issue or a busy server.
If its repeating, I haven’t seen any other issues posted recently, are you having any other connection issues?

Thank you for your reply, @silvrr. And a special thanks for that link!
This error happens once each day. Other than that, however, the system has no problems. The apt-get and certbot work fine, I have SSH, SMB, MQTT, and web access from the LAN, and I can access HA using SSL from the internet (my firewall also shows the CIArmy banging on port 80 regularly, since I left that open for Let’s Encrypt, but since nothing is listening on that port when certbot isn’t running, they’re not getting anywhere).
The routine beginning at line 108 in init.py indicates that the check for a new version is done once each day, so if it’s failing every day, HA will never know if there’s a new version. But now that I have the code, perhaps I can figure out what’s going wrong.
Thanks for your help!
