So just to clarify, I haven’t used this service in quite a while so I’m really not an expert on it. But given what you’re saying and showing it seems like someone should update the documentation since I assumed it was correctly showing me what inputs it accepts:
Yeah. It’s a bit odd as the ui interface of the service shows other options than the yaml interface .
What I understood meanwhile via Discord, is that one can enter an entity_id of an integration in that service call, which would reload the integration the entity_id belongs to.
Would it be too much trouble if I asked you to share the ‘reload integration’ flow? I’m also using nodered in hassio and was researching automatic integration reloading due to (quite frequent) ikea integration fails.
I have big problems with the Octoprint integration, all 3 instances keep failing sensors every now and then and even after hours do not come back with values.
tried to find the ID with the inspect but can’t find anything can someone help me how I do it?
Add me as a requester! The unifi integration craps out regularly and marks entities as “unknown”. I’d like to be able to automate the reload, instead of having to add an alert and clicking around the UI to make it work again.
Meanwhile I do not need the reload because the integration were I had issues got stable. But considering we have so many different integrations with different quality. Would a optional watchdog mechanism that restarts those integrations with the mentioned service call be usefull? We have a similar mechanism on the add ons.
I have voted for this as a reload integration service would be good, instead of having to manually do it from the Integrations page.
For me, I did solve my particular issue as it was related to OctoPrint, and as I only have 1 3D printer it is only one entity. I used the homeassistant.reload_config_entry service to reload the 3D printer device, which in turn reloads all the entities for that device. I use the power status of the printer as the trigger. This works great with just one device. I would not want to use it for me DeConz integration though as I have over 40 ZigBee devices.
