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.
