There's been a few instances for testing where i'm needing to reboot the
controller in various ways. Does Warm/Cold reboot have a selection area
at the current time?
One item for some people to keep in mind is that the index number for objects
can keep going upwards even after deletion of objects until a warm/cold start
is initiated. The highest indexed object continues to be the start point. This
upwards trend naturally happens in EBO and it wasn't an issue than and it isn't
an issue now. After a reboot, it will start filling in the empty "cracks", so to say.
So basically, i'm wondering about remote reboots for when I need to do them.

Yes, you can perform a remote warm start/cold start on these devices. It is handled by the normal BACnet AWS functionality of Niagara.
From the Device Manager you can perform this action by highlighting the control and selecting the Reinit Button.
Then you will get a pop up that will allow you to select either Warm Start or Cold Start.

That's good news, I'm glad it's selectable.
When I first saw "ReInit", I was thinking it was going to blow away my controller
or something and didn't want to hit it just yet. Would "Reboot" be a better name?
Being that there's an Un-Initialized screen to give the controller an instance number,
perhaps the name "ReInit" would be similar in thought to changing the instance
number even though there's a DeltaDeviceID button already.
The name of the Reinit button comes from the name of BACnet protocol it sends. Just like I-Am, Who-Is, etc. are BACnet services, Reinitialize Device is a service that "Orders the receiving device to cold- or warm-boot itself". When you push the Reinit button you are telling the Niagara Station to send a BACnet Reinitialize Device command to the device.
