Alternatives for showing local version
This sensor is an alternative to the existing solutions to achieve the same result through various platforms. Remember that you can easily get the installed version on the command line.
hass --version
Or go to the Info section of the Developer Tools.
A command_line
with
hass
to display your current version.
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: Version
command: "/home/homeassistant/bin/hass --version"
It’s also possible to read a file called .HA_VERSION
which is located in your
Home Assistant configuration folder.
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: Version
command: "cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/.HA_VERSION"
You might think that a rest
sensor could work,
too,
but it will not as Home Assistant is not ready when the sensor gets initialized.
sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/api/config
name: Current Version
value_template: "{{ value_json.version }}"
