@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.
@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
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:
