Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Can i ask if anyone is familiar withe GC100 switch components in HA, the documenttation that comes isn’t really that concise.

I have the following in my configuration.yaml

# Global Cache RS232 > IP Device

gc100:
host: 192.168.1.9
port: 4999

And then i have the following under the switch: settings but i have no idea what to put in underneath it, cant find much help or documentation on it

Global Cache RS232

  • platform: gc100

thanks in advance for any help

You mean like this? Gogole is your friend :wink:

Also be sure to read the pinned message on how to format configuration when posting here. The way you posted is useless if there is a spacing issue in your configuration.

hi @anon34565116 thats the documentation that i think is a bit poor, where exactly in the switch function can i add the commands, and it what format do the commands need to be for serial ?

Anyone got any ideas ?

What commands? The platform exposes switches and binary sensors.

i use a Global Cache IP2SL interface to control my HDMI matrix, simple tect based commands are sent to switch the input and output.

I am not sure on how to put these into use using the gc100 switch

Currently, only relays and ports configured to be digital inputs are supported in Home Assistant.

Does your device fit into those categories (ie relays and ports?).

That does not seem to answer my question, I am not familiar with these devices, I am just trying to help. If you cannot answer

then what does make you think your device is capable of integration with home assistant?
