The second option in the system options dialog for integrations uses the word "updates" in both the headline and the explanation.

This is highly misleading as it sounds like polling for firmware updates for all device integrations.
Many users who are not aware of the internal poll or push update mechanisms will misread it as such.
As the German translators did (fixed in October).

Therefore the words "(state) changes" should be used instead.

Note that even the main button in the dialog is "Update" which adds to the possible confusion, too.

In addition headlines should not end with a period so this PR removes them both as well.

Proposed change

Replace "updates" with "changes" in the headline.
Explain this as "state changes" in the description avoiding "updates" alltogether.

The second option in the system options dialog for integrations uses the word "updates" in both the headline and the explanation.

This is highly misleading as it sounds like polling for firmware updates for many device integrations.

Therefore the words "(state) changes" should be used instead.
