For any ansible users out there I want to share how I reload config when needed without having to use the UI or restart.
So for instance I have a task that configures my group config:
- name: "Deploy home assistant group templates"
become: yes
template:
src: "{{ item.name }}.j2"
dest: "/home/{{ home_assistant_user }}/.homeassistant/{{ item.name }}"
owner: "{{ home_assistant_user }}"
group: "{{ home_assistant_user }}"
block_start_string: "{{ item.block_start | default('{%') }}"
block_end_string: "{{ item.block_end | default('%}') }}"
variable_start_string: "{{ item.variable_start | default('{{') }}"
variable_end_string: "{{ item.variable_end | default('}}') }}"
with_items:
- { 'name': 'group/home.yaml' }
- { 'name': 'group/topfloor.yaml' }
- { 'name': 'group/mainfloor.yaml' }
- { 'name': 'group/basement.yaml' }
tags: hass_deploy_cfg
notify: Reload group config
And my notify handler looks like this:
- name: Reload group config
uri:
url: https://example.com/api/services/group/reload
method: POST
headers:
x-ha-access: "{{ hass_password }}"
Content-Type: application/json
