WTH don't I get notifications about available updates?

@tom_l - I don’t think there was any restart involved. This was for the update yesterday from core 7.1 to 7.2, and nothing fired. I understand what you mean though, so it may be that I didn’t notice or something.

I’ve now updated, so I’ll keep an eye on it for next time as you say and look to do something on restarts. I have an automation already that runs on restarts, so can look to just add it to that perhaps if I can localise the conditions (or a parallel specific automation if not).

You should have restarted after adding the sensors. Also reloading automations (if that is what you did instead of restarting) will have the same issue.

I meant that there was no restart coinciding with the new core update arriving (there was of course one after it installed). The sensors have been in place and functional for a while now, so all should have (to my mind) been fully available to trigger for yesterday’s update from 7.1 to 7.2.

Anyway I’ll add the conditional check on HA start-up anyway, and keep an eye on it for next time there’s a core update to see if it notifies or not.

Sorry I thought you only implemented this 17 hours ago (time of your post) where as the .2 release was before that (2 days ago).

No probs - my fault for not being clear.

The implementation is fairly new (sometime last week), but was a little surprised it didn’t fire off when 7.2 dropped.

I’ll add your suggestion about the check on start-up anyway, and will keep an eye on it when 7.3 (or 8.0) drops.

@tom_l - To close this one off for my earlier issue/question, just got the ping for the 7.3 update correctly and successfully. So looks like your assessment for the 7.1 → 7.2 update notification failure was on the money.

It’s even ahead of the game, as the update isn’t actually available in the supervisor yet :wink:

Reload the supervisor on the system page then when it has restarted go to the supervisor dashboard and refresh the page.

No need - it’s here now and currently under install.

Hi, this card looks really nice. Would you maybe share your config?

Sure, I use a number of binary_sensors for the on/off warnings based on the underlying sensors, here’s the config - the card has changed a little bit since the original post but still basically the same:

Great, thank you! multiple-entity-row was the magical word :wink:

Btw, how do you get the Update notifications for the OS?

sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: os
    command: 'curl http://supervisor/os/info -H "Authorization: Bearer $(printenv SUPERVISOR_TOKEN)" | jq ''{"newest_version":.data.version_latest,"current_version":.data.version}'''
    value_template: "{{ value_json.newest_version }}"
    json_attributes:
      - newest_version
      - current_version

Then for consistency in Lovelace I use a binary_sensor to indicate if an OS update is available:

template:
  - binary_sensor:
      - name: Update OS
        state: "{{ state_attr('sensor.os', 'current_version') != state_attr('sensor.os', 'newest_version') }}"
        icon: "{{ 'mdi:information-outline' if states('binary_sensor.update_os') == 'on' else 'mdi:circle-outline' }}"
