The `itach` remote platform allows you to control IR devices with a [Global Caché iTach Device](https://www.globalcache.com/products/itach/ip2irspecs)

To use your iTach remote in your installation, you will need to know the IR commands for your devices in Pronto hex format and add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
remote:
  - platform: itach
    name: Living Room
    host: itach023fdc
    devices:
      - name: TV
        connaddr: 2
        commands:
          - name: "ON"
            data: "0000 006D 0000 0022 00AC 00AC 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0015 0015 0040 0015 0040 0015 0015 0015 0689"
