How to reload hue integration without restarting HA?

Configuration
1

Have a hue hub and homeassistant (HA) can control it. Running HAOS.
I have issues with the hue hub after some time and need to reboot it. When doing this HA loses track of it so a restart of HA is also needed. So I’d like to automate this so I don’t need to think about it.
I can use a smart plug for the hue hub, but what I would really like to know is how to reload the hue “service” or integration so I don’t need to do a full restart of HA.

Does anybody know what part of HAOS needs to be ready restarted/reloaded for hue and can it be done via automations?

Thanks

Try action homeassistant.reload_config_entry (or homeassistant.reload_all).

So I did see that homeassistant.reload_config_entry in a thread from 2022 and it looked like I needed the exact name of the integration to go with it and this is what I couldn’t find.
However, I just tried on my phone and it looks like I may be able to choose Philips Hue as a device target. When I get more time and can work from a PC I’ll try it out.
Thanks

I tried doing the reload and choosing hue as the device, but that doesn’t work. Homeassistant loses the hue bridge.
I tried reload all and that doesn’t work either. Still no control from homeassistant.
I tried going to dev options and hitting each and every thing (which I assume is the same as all), but no change.
A reboot of homeassistant makes it work every time.
Anybody have any ideas of what else I could try? Other than different hardware that is. Would like to make what I have work.

Are there errors in the log?

Nothing related to hue or it’s IP address that I see in core, supervisor or host logs for the times i have tried to reload. Even tried again just now and nothing. When I do it from dev tools and actions it takes a little bit, but gives me a green check box so it seems like it thinks it’s working.
