Input_boolean - why do I have to restart ha to see new ones?

Configuration

I though the whole point of reloading customizations was to not have to restart home assistant…

Or am I missing something? Can I define these in a different yaml file other than customizations.yaml?

Input_booleans aren’t defined in customize, they’re defined in their own section of the configuration.

To see changes without restarting, call the input_boolean reload service.

Sorry, I mis-typed… configuration.yaml. Is there a way to load them something like this?

camera: !include camera.yaml
Binary_sensors: !include binaries.yaml

Why can’t the icons be changed on the fly in Lovelace? Or do I just not define an icon to start with? I’ve just discovered how useful these little buggers really are…

Developer tools -> services -> select input_boolean.reload -> hit call service.

If you’re happy not to use yaml, they can be defined, on the fly, with icons, in Configuration -> Helpers

That rocks. Never saw that before. This platform ROCKS!

This is awesome, They really should advertise helpers on the Input Boolean page

Thank you @eggman
