Option for getting the watermeter restartet from the HA #3127

The Feature

Hi,

I would like to create a switch in my HomeAssistant to restart the watermeter. Is this possibile?. I could imagine that it will be possible if the SSH access can be enabled in the settings from the "Digitizer - AI on the edge - watermeter"

please, let me know.

You can use /reboot endpoint for that. https://jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/REST-API/#reboot

Then create RESTful Command in the Home Assistant or create a flow in Node-Red and link it to a Button.

Hi, I am not 100% sure how to do this. I am not really firm with Programming on myselve. Please can you help by doing this? That would be Great.

The approach depends on your configuration of the HA. If you use Node-Red then this approach may be easier. If not then some configuration must be placed into configuration.yaml file.

BTW, why do you need this restart functionality?

Hi, I had the Problem that the Watermeter did not send any datas. After a restart everything was finde. My thinking was to mal a regulary restart, once a week.

Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem instead of looking for compensation for the problem. I would turn on debug to possibly find out why it stopped sending the data. Which version are you using anyway, 15.7.0 or earlier?
