Clicking Restart under Configuration > Server Management never restarts Home Assistant for me.
It shows the ‘Service home assistant/restart called’ message, but does nothing after that.
Does it always work for everyone else? And does anyone know how to fix it so it works?
It won’t restart if there’s a config issue. Is there anything in the developer tools>about area that’s indicating why the restart fails?
Also I find these scripts useful. Just put them In one of your views. I have a config view just for stuff like this. This way you just click one button
reload_ha:
sequence:
- service: automation.reload
- service: homeassistant.reload_core_config
- service: frontend.reload_themes
restart_ha:
sequence:
- service: homeassistant.restartThanks, I checked and fixed some errors shown under Developer Tools and it now works.
And thanks for the script, that works too 
Awesome! Glad to have helped
Can you share what errors you had? Curious because I stopped using the front end to restart since it only seemed to work some of the times. Never noticed any errors anywhere though. I use WinSCP to edit config files so its easy enough to just restart from the command line anyways.
It was reporting things I’d added in the past that it now couldn’t find.
E.g. I’d added Fire TV as a media player but don’t use it anymore, so don’t have it plugged in.
Even with no errors the UI restart is not reliable for me.
