@Nihvel No need to use so custom approach, just use standard HA component:

  - platform: version 
    name: Current HA version
    source: local
  - platform: version 
    name: Last HA version
    source: hassio

It’s manual right now, but that’s because it was recently migrated and the automatic version updater based on https://www.home-assistant.io/version.json has been lost. Added it back to to do list.

It seems that this sensor was somebody’s good idea but nobody wants to implement it.
