+<h3>13. Add an Automation to Restart AppDAemon when HA Restarts (Optional)</h3>
+
+Restarts between Home Assistant and Add-Ons are not synchronised so it is helpful to set up an Automation to restart AppDAemon if HA is restarted. An example is shown below and included in this repo as `ha_restart_automation.yaml`. The `wait_template` section ensures that key integrations (in this case Solcast and Solax) have numeric values before AppDaemon is started.
