The itach remote {% term integration %} allows you to control IR devices with a Global Caché iTach Device and GC-100 devices. The Global Cache IR API are similar across their product line. See API documentation links at the end of this page.

In order to utilize the digital input (binary sensor) and relay (switch) features of your Global Cache device you will need to use the gc100 integration and associated platforms.

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 {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry

{% configuration %} host: description: The iTach's IP address. required: true type: string port: description: The iTach's port. required: false default: 4998 type: integer devices: description: Devices controlled by the iTach. required: true type: list keys: name: description: Name of the device. required: true type: string modaddr: description: iTach module address for the IR emitter. required: false default: 1 type: integer connaddr: description: iTach connection location for the IR emitter. (Note connaddr is a misleading label. Do not put the connection address here. Technically the connection address is the combination of the module address plus the connection location). required: true type: integer ir_count: description: Number of times the command payload will be repeated for a single command send. required: false default: 1 type: integer commands: description: Commands available to send to the device. required: true type: list keys: name: description: Command name. required: true type: string data: description: Hex command data. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

An example to call the integration from developer tools using the remote.send_command action: { "entity_id":"remote.tv", "command":"menu" }

Note: Global Cache devices expect data in their own format of "sendir...". This integration converts hex code to Global Cache IR form.
