Can more types of configuration - alerts, template sensors/switches - be reloaded by the UI if I mix up my configuration files

[kcd (Kev)]

Hey, some configurations can be reloaded via the UI and I would like reload more on the fly. This seems to line up with the default layout of includes

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

As shown in the UI, these can be reloaded without a full restart

I find it frustratingly slow to restart HASS when I make a mistake in an alert/switch/sensor so would like to know if I changed my configuration layout if I could reload such platforms on the fly?

I doesn’t matter how you have your configuration “laid out” you can only reload the same individual integrations as are show on the server controls page.

Refer to the screenshot in this post (lots can be reloaded without requiring a full restart).

Reload sensors and binary_sensors in Configuration reloading

Before reviving a 2 year old topic it’s important to check if the information it contains is outdated. For example, if you go to Configuration > Settings you’ll see that you can reload manually configured MQTT entities and Template entities (the two integrations frequently employed to create custom sensors and binary_sensors) without having to restart Home Assistant. [Screenshot from 2022-01-27 10-43-30] It has been possible to reload them for quite awhile (at least a year).

Thanks Finity and Taras. I was only using the File Editor I did not know you can also reload by entity type under the Server Controls > YAML configuration reloading section

I don’t see alerts, but I do see templated switches thanks
