Updater - The updater component is now a binary sensor that is always available. The entity ID is binary_sensor.updater. The state is on/off depending on whether an update is available or not. The latest version as well as the release notes are attributes of this binary sensor. Automations that are listening for the existence of updater.updater should now trigger when binary_sensor.updater changes to on. This makes the component more transparent and understandable for the user. Additionally, it is visible if there is an error or the source (https://updater.home-assistant.io/) is outdated. - (Santobert - 25418) (updater docs)
