Show Available Upgrades

[V1d1o7]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Being able to monitor if there are any upgrades for the RPi without having to ssh into the Pi to check

Describe the solution you'd like
Be able to list the number of updates available, and have them separated out by system or security

Describe alternatives you've considered
When running Ubuntu you can use the below command to list the number of updates, to which you can then use a command line sensor to pull the data into Home Assistant, however raspbian doesn't have the same ability to do so as easily.

Additional context
custom:multiple-entity-row design I have for a Ubuntu machine

Cronjob that runs

/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check 2>&1 | tee /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/system_updates.out

and the command line sensors in config.yaml

  - platform: command_line
    name: System Updates
    scan_interval: 86400
    command: "cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/system_updates.out | cut -d ';' -f 1"

  - platform: command_line
    name: Security Updates
    scan_interval: 86400
    command: "cat /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/system_updates.out | cut -d ';' -f 2"

@tdvantine This is interesting... let me see what I can do about this... Gonna be a couple of weeks at least... but more when I find out...

[V1d1o7]

Any new news on this Ironsheep?

Finally have updates to the card and distribution working again.

Now I can consider doing this... More soonish...

My challenge is real estate on the card. Easier on the Full card than the Glance card.

So I'll focus on pushing this thru the Daemon for now then I'll work on how to present it...

NOTE: see ironsheep/RPi-Reporter-MQTT2HA-Daemon#71 for the latest notes and thinking...

Changes committed and appears in card v1.4.1 and later.
