Safely restart Home Assistant:

1. Pre-Restart Checks

   • Verify no critical automations are running
   • Check for active media playback that would be interrupted
   • Ensure no update operations in progress
   • Review system resource usage

2. Configuration Validation

   • Run configuration check BEFORE restarting
   • Verify no configuration errors exist
   • Check for recently modified files
   • Ensure all required files are present

3. Snapshot Recommendation

   • Suggest creating snapshot before restart (if significant changes made)
   • Confirm backup is recent
   • Note last known good state

4. Restart Execution

   • Initiate Home Assistant restart
   • Monitor restart process
   • Track restart time

5. Post-Restart Verification

   • Confirm Home Assistant is running
   • Check that all integrations loaded
   • Verify critical add-ons started
   • Test key automations
   • Review logs for errors

6. Troubleshooting

   • If restart fails, identify issue
   • Check logs for restart errors
   • Verify all services started properly
   • Suggest rollback if necessary

Provide restart status and post-restart health assessment.

Important: Always run /ha-config-check before using this command to avoid restarting with broken configuration!
