Display RPi4 EEPROM version information in HA

[cjmjmartens]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

I am using the code below in command_line.yaml to display the RPi4 EEPROM version information in HA. Since a couple of weeks, this function is not working anymore. The entity is reporting "unknown".

- sensor: name: RPi Firmware command: | sh -c 'ts=$(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd bootloader_version | sed -E -n -e "s/timestamp (.*)/\1/p") && date -u -d @$ts -I'

In the system log, the following error is displayed:

Logger: homeassistant.components.command_line.utils
Source: components/command_line/utils.py:54
Integration: Command Line (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 22:19:17 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 22:19:17

Command failed (with return code 1): sh -c 'ts=$(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd bootloader_version | sed -E -n -e "s/timestamp (.*)/\1/p") && date -u -d @$ts -I'

What operating system image do you use?

rpi4-64 (Raspberry Pi 4/400 64-bit OS)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

10.2

Did you upgrade the Operating System.

No

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Add the following code to command_line.yaml:
   - sensor: name: RPi Firmware command: | sh -c 'ts=$(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd bootloader_version | sed -E -n -e "s/timestamp (.*)/\1/p") && date -u -d @$ts -I'
2. Add the following code to configuration.yaml: "command_line: !include command_line.yaml".
3. Restart HA
4. Check status of "RPi Firmware" entity

Note that when you use a command sensor, this command is executed in the context of Home Assistant Core, which is not the same Home Assistant OS. So this is not a OS related issue.

That said, it seems that vcgencmd moved from /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd to /usr/bin/vcgencmd, presumably because Alpine Linux package raspberrypi-userland changed the path of that program between v3.17 and v3.18. So you'll have to adjust the path of your command.
