Hassio.addon_restart

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hello, I would like to understand how the “hassio.addon_restart” / stop / start service works?

I want to send it the name of a service and restart that service but I don’t know how to structure the JSON?

Anyone got any insight on this?

Here’s my JSON payload to restart the Node-RED addon:

{
  "addon": "27e642c6_nodered"
}

You can find the addon name by using the hassio addon SSH commands.

I’m talking about the hassio commands available when you connect to your Hassio SSH:

slight typo there, should be hassio addons list
Took me a minute but this worked, thanks!

One question though, what does the number before _nodered mean?
Will it ever change in the future? Mine was “a0d7b954_nodered”

That’s your unique container ID I think. That shouldn’t change unless you remove and re-install the addon.

You can also find the slug by looking at the URL. http://[ip]:[port]/hassio/addon/[slug]/
