Reload without HA restart #304

Description

This has been mentioned several times already (#128 and #215). But in light of all recent changes to HA in the past years, since those issues were opened, it should now be possible to add such functionality.

It's critical when one is setting up things to be able to test them without a restart.

Came looking for the same question.

Seeing as this add-on uses yaml, then I'd assume we can use the "Quick reload" option under restart Home Assistant. Is this true?

I searched through the documentation for "restart" and there was no mention of restart WRT Home Assistant.

Hello,

I can only agree with that. When setting up EC, you have to try out a lot of things, and it would be nice if HA did not always have to be completely restarted, but if it were possible to reload EC with a changed configuration on the HA "developer tools" page.

Greetings, Eckart
