It seems that the option “Reload YAML” isn’t effective when making changes to lovelace UI when using the !include_dir_list option.
Is there a workaround, not to restart HA every time?
Reload yaml works fine with all includes. Reload yaml only works on integrations that support reloading. You can see the supported list of integrations below the reload yaml button (the other buttons). If the integration isn’t listed there, it doesn’t support reloading.
It’s specifically about the frontend dashboards.
I noticed when making changes to the dashboard yaml files, without !include, changes appear by reloading the browsers cache.
Now I have de-cluttered things with !include and neither the ‘clear browser cache’ nor ‘reload yaml’ seem to do the trick.
Is this normal behavior or is there a workaround without the need for a restart?
!include works fine for lovelace but the dashboard needs to be 100% yaml, no UI at all. I use it everywhere.
Are you using the ‘Refresh’ menu item from the meatball menu at the right hand end of the header? Works for me…
I do the same and haven’t had any issues either.
