I use HACS and there is a very actively developed addon where they push out 1-3 new versions a day. It is great, but the restart icon triggers my eye and I click on it every 30 minutes because I forget it is not a new update for something else, it is still a restart “required notification”.
I would happily update them and I don’t mind using the “old” version for 2-3 days and restart when it is necessary for other reasons.
How can I remove notification icon from settings if it is for “restart required”?
Can you just simply disable the entity?
Haven’t played with it, but the only ‘Restart Required’ entity I have is this one - it’s been disabled, and I do not recall ever seeing a notification for it.
I’m in the same position and unfortunately never found a solution. Restarting the system multiple times a day is a silly solution IMO, I don’t know why these notifications can’t just be ignored.
I’m sorry, but that’s an equally silly solution. It’s pretty rare that an update to a custom integration actually affects me or my system (generally it’s adding something new or fixing something that doesn’t affect me), but I still want to keep things ‘up-to-date’ in that the next time I have an actual reason to restart HA, it gets updated in the process.
I’ve accepted that I have to live with a notification that I need to restart until I eventually do, it just doesn’t seem like an appropriate channel for something that doesn’t actually require immediate attention (or honestly even matter, in my case). One of my few (or maybe only?) gripes with HA.
I never found it a problem. just update everything then restart, waste 2 minutes while it reboots, then check all is ok. Even if I had to do this everyday it would not be an issue, but I guess it only gets rebooted once a week or so.
Skip the update instead of trying to ignore the restart notification.
If you are not going to restart anyway, then waiting for a later release, where you are going to restart, might be a better way.
If the update needs a restart, then not restarting means the update will not be applied, either wait ti you have the time to reboot before updating or don’t update, can’t see where the issue is.
It is actually worse than that.
Some integrations have static files and/or dynamic imports.
By “updating” it (replacing the files), you can actually break it, if that “update” is not followed by a restart.
For that reason. The update is skippable, but the restart notifications are not.
Do integrations update without core update? I get update notifications from HACS addons (2-3 a day) and HA extensions, but these are docker containers and easily restart without HA restart.
I don’t really see why I can’t update HACS addons and then let them be for a few days like that and restart when something like Yeelight integration wreck and HA need a restart.
My HA is set to restart at 2 am each day. This is to ensure that the system stays healthy. I have chosen this time because it won’t annoy people - they’ll be asleep.
I try to minimise the number of restarts during the day so, when I see a HACS update i’ll review it and, if I’m happy, I’ll hit the update button. However, I’ll leave the restart to happen at 2 am.
I’d like to be able to dismiss the Restart Required repair because, I’m concerned I’ll accidentally restart my system by mistakenly actioning one of these.
HACS does not provide add-ons. At least not yet. And the integrations it provides are not containerised and can update at any time independently of core updates. And they do require restarts. Only frontend resources from HACS can be updated without a restart.
Forgive me I am using it in Hungarian, I have no idea what is the original English name for them.
For me, these are the integrations, that update via HA updates (2025.3.1->2025.3.2) - Integrations - Home Assistant
I guess addons are the containerised applications inside HA (z2m etc)
