The updater component will check for new releases at startup and everyday at noon and midnight. It will show a badge in the frontend if a new version has been detected.
For an added bonus, an automation component can be created to send a message with a notifier when that state of this component's entity changes.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
automation:
alias: 'Update Available Notifications'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: updater.updater
action:
service: notify.notify
data:
message: 'Update for Home Assistant is available.'
```
