Assign unique_id to REST sensors, tie to a device?

Configuration
1

Is there a way to assign a unique_id to a REST platform sensor?

Is there a way to tie one or more REST sensors to a device (the device registry)?

I see how to do it with MQTT sensors, but not with REST sensors.

I don’t think so, but why would you need/want to?

The unique_id enables some customization through the UI.

Tying the individual sensors to a devices, ties the entities together and opens up a device page in the UI.

For example, here’s what I get with with one of my rtl_433 RF devices through MQTT:

Then don’t use the ui to manage the entities.
