Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

I would like to have a button to restart a device from the UI
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

Adding a restart button to the config is a viable alternative, but having to open Homeassistant (And waiting for it to discover the device as available) is often impractical.
**Additional context**
