**NO!!**\
**DO NOT DO THIS!**

For some obscure reason there are someone out there that belive that you need to reboot the host after making a configuration change, this *is* a **lie**!

For each change to the configuration a restart of Home Assistant (And **only** Home Assistant, **NOT** the host.) is needed.

But that is not entirely true. You *can* "Reload" some parts without needing to restart Home Assistant. You can find these options here `https://my-ha-domain.duckdns.org/config/core`

There are 4 things you can reload.

* Core (Customizations)
* Groups
* Automations
* Scripts

Hitting these buttons **will** reload configurations for that part. All other changes needs a restart of Home Assistant, **NOT** the host...

Components/platfoms that are configured with "Integrations" here `https://my-ha-domain.duckdns.org/config/integrations/dashboard` does **NOT** need a restart.
