@RobotToaster @GreatAlbatross oh man, X10 was such junk. Terrible reliability, expensive, clunky. Always awkward as the units plugged into receptacles with little positioning flexibility, and a restrictive ecosystem with inflexible players tying it up in patents for so long. A couple of hundred bucks I blew there was totally wasted …about 20yrs.

AHA - found this link which describes several ha commands, and the one:

ha core restart

looked promising – and turns out that works nicely in the SSH shell.

@JSCybersec @homeassistant I think that will reboot the Raspberry Pi, no?

Hey @homeassistant #HomeAssistant people, sometimes editing my config yaml file and need to reload it over an over again as one does.

It takes navigation to settings and five or six mouse clicks to restart HA each time (reload yaml doesn't seem to reload config items) so I'd like to have a command line capability to do that.

Tried "ha restart" but that doesn't seem to be a thing.

Is there an HA command for that, or is the web UI the only way to do it?
