Don’t reload all automations when saving one

[davinci]

This way they won’t be interrupted and don’t show as switched on in the history.

Only the one that changed should be reloaded.

FYI

There’s an existing FR (created 2.5 years ago) requesting incremental reloading of entities, automations, etc.

Eliminate the need for restarts

Compared to other home automation products, Home Assistant currently requires far more restarts (or reloads) to perform basic operations. The following operations should not require a restart/reload: Add or modify an entity Add or modify an automation Ideally, additions/modifications should be handled incrementally. In other words, adding/modifying a single entity should only require loading that one entity; it should not require (re)loading all other entities. For example, changing a single …

FWIW, the situation was even less convenient back then because you had to perform a full restart to load various additions/modifications. Later, it became possible to reload certain integrations (like automations, templated entities, etc) without having to restart. However, the concept of incremental reloading hasn’t been implemented yet so the FR remains open.

Although it’s not a feature request, there is this thread also.

Automations reset after editing

Why do all automations reload, after editing one single automation? That means all delayed automations are reset and never trigger the action.
