Good day
Can anybody assist me with how to create an automation to reload an integration on a daily basis
The service to call is homeassistant.reload_config_entry

That service requires exact id of the integration not the integration name. You can find the exact integration id in the url of listing devices or entities by integration. (integrations page, click on xx devices (or entities) link under the respective integration and get the config id from url)

Thanks alot
Thank you very much
Is there a way to do the same with HACS integrations?
They are all equal 
you can reload any core or custom integration AS LONG AS the integration supports reloading.
Sorry for the Noob question, but how do you know if it supports it or not? And how would you find the integration ID for a HACS integration?
Ta
when you go to integrations page, if you see an option to reload the integration, it is supported
So does that mean no integration that is configured by yaml can be reloaded?
great question, I have only couple of YAML based mqtt sensors but there is a specific action for it in Settings “Reload Manually Configured MQTT Entities”. But I dont have much experience on general

can anyone please help on howto reload the nest integration since it does not work with homeassistant.reload_config_entry
It’s explained here but I don’t understant the explanation.
The shell command goes in configuration.yaml.
Other code is an automation. Put it in automations.yaml.
Hi @nickrout, thanks a lot for your comment.
When I realized that this is the Home Assitant Restful API and I had to create a Long-Lived Access Token from the “Long-Lived Access Tokens” section at the bottom of user profile page in home assistant to be able to issue Restful API commands and to use it in curl with the Authorization: Bearer parameter to include in the request using the -H command line option to first issue the /api/config/config_entries/entry request and get its output, to get the Nest entry_id, and only then I’ll be able to issue a Restful API reload request using the Nest entry_id with curl and Restful API token, it all made sense.
Now I can make a shell command and automate it just like you said.
Can someone explain how this is done exactly? I’m trying to reload an integration called “blueiris” and I pasted the URL into the config entry is and I can’t reload it. I think I’m doing it wrong can you explain it please?
Can you do it in the ui ?
The problem is that is happens to much I need to make a button to do it so someone without administrative access can do it.
I can’t give everyone admin access it’s a security problem.
Can you, as an admin, reload blueiris through the ui.
Not suggesting that as a solution, just an enquiry to help debugging your issue.
Ok, but how do I make it do that using a script and then active that script with a toggle? I really don’t want to expose the entirety of blueiris to the world. For security reasons.
