Simple page action browser extension that allows you to quickly restart Home Assistant if an instance is detect on the active page.
Browser button will activate when a Home Assistance instance is detected in the active browser tab, and when click a configuration check will first be performed and if successful a restart will be called.
Works with local and remote network access (Nabu Casa, VPN) to Home Assistance.
Home Assistant Forum Post - Quick Restart Chrome Browser Extension
If Home Assistant is detected on the active broswer page, the buttion with become active (not grayed out), when you're ready to restart, give it a click (there is no "Are you sure", this is quick restart for a reason)
There is also keyboard shortcut available to save that transition time between keyboard and mouse.
Windows / Default: Ctrl+Shift+H
Mac: Ctrl+Shift+H
On browser tab load, extension will look for HassConnection object in session, if found button will be enabled, if not left disabled
- REST Api access_token extracted from HassConnection object, checked if valid by calling /apicheck, if invalid new token requested using refresh_token
- Config Check performed calling REST Api, if invalid the message is shown in extension pop-up
- Restart performed calling REST Api, status shown in extension pop-up
If you found value in this I thrive on coffee!
