Global Cache iTach Unique ID

Feature Requests
1

I have a Global Cache iTach I use to control my TV. I followed the instructions to install it and was able to successfully get control of my TV. When I try to assign the TV to an area, it says it needs a unique ID. I tried inserting a unique ID into the configuration YAML but a check of the configuration file keeps telling me the unique_id is an invalid option. What I’ve tried and doesn’t work:

remote:
  - platform: itach
    unique_id: 94129990-6600-4bd9-ab67-451431f4de35
    host: 192.168.20.13
    devices:
      - name: Living Room TV
        connaddr: 1
        ir_count: 3
        commands:
          - name: "ON"

remote:
  - platform: itach
    host: 192.168.20.13
    devices:
      - name: Living Room TV
        unique_id: 94129990-6600-4bd9-ab67-451431f4de35
        connaddr: 1
        ir_count: 3
        commands:

Is there a way to assign a Unique ID to this?

Hi piphouse,

If the integration does not allow it, I then don’t think there is a way.

My suggestion would be to see if someone else has started or start a Feature Request to ask for this to be added.

There appears to be 2 similar integrations to this in Core. Neither has a unique_id listed in the DOC and neither one has a current maintainer to contact.

If you or someone you know might be able to take this on, that would help you get this fixrd. Best place to ask is a Feature Request.
Global Caché GC-100 - Home Assistant.
Global Caché iTach TCP/IP to IR - Home Assistant.

NOTE: I actually converted this to a FR for you, it has all the information needed…
You should vote for it top left.

Thanks Sir_Goodenough for looking into this and creating the feature request. I do not know enough about coding to do it myself.
