HADashboard development question

Third party integrations HADashboard

What’s you development workflow for creating dashboards? Is there a way to see changes without having to reboot RPi?

TIA

Normally you only need to modify a dashboard config file, save and refresh in the browser. A forced refresh (often Ctrl + F5 - depends on the browser and OS) may be necessary to show all changes.

setting force compile in appdaemon.yaml will help

hadashboard:
  dash_force_compile: '1'

then when the changes are not shown directly i have 3 things to make sure they show up.

  1. clear cash from browser (forced refresh)
  2. clear the dirs /conf/compiles/css /conf/compiled/javascript /conf/compiled/html
  3. if step 1 and 2 fail, then i restart appdaemon.

reboot RPI is never needed. almost always step 1 is enough.

Thanks. How do I restart appdaemon? That would be a better option, but I couldn’t figure out how to restart it.

depends on how you have setup your RPI.

i start it manually and so i just can use ctrl C and the type the starting command again.
if you use systemclt you can use the restart command
if you use hassio you must ask in the hassio part how to start and stop a process, because i have no clue about that.
