I've seen other similar questions here and here but neither of those worked for me.
I'm on a mac and simply installed ember cli using npm and I thought it would work out of the box. Here is the server output:
version: 0.1.4
Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events
Livereload server on port 35729
Serving on http://0.0.0.0:4200/
Build successful - 2456ms.

I wasn't the only one with this issue and my friend found a solution that works.
Add the following lines to your .ember-cli in the root of your project:
"liveReload": true,
"watcher": "polling"
Once you restart the server, it should watch for changes to your directory.
If you are on Mac then install watchman
using brew install watchman
instead of npm install watchman
.
And if you are using Sublime Text then add below code to your sublime user settings json
Prefences -> Settings - User
{
"folder_exclude_patterns":
[
".svn",
".git",
".hg",
"CVS",
"tmp/class-*",
"tmp/es_*",
"tmp/jshinter*",
"tmp/replace_*",
"tmp/static_compiler*",
"tmp/template_compiler*",
"tmp/tree_merger*",
"tmp/coffee_script*",
"tmp/concat-tmp*",
"tmp/export_tree*",
"tmp/sass_compiler*",
"tmp/javascript",
"tmp/result",
"tmp/transpiled"
]
}
Exit Sublime once and open again. Right now Sublime has a bug which causes conflict with watchman, so above trick might work.
Good luck.
Might be simplistic answer, but this was solution I needed
In Windows, run Node cmd in Administrator mode
Check package.json for the below devDependencies ,if not add it.
"ember-cli-inject-live-reload": "^1.3.1"
"ember-cli-styles-reloader": "0.1.8"
and in .ember-cli file add the below configuration,
"liveReload": true,
"host": "0.0.0.0"
(For me it works only after adding host entry).
