Error when trying to assign a unique id to noaa_tides

[jlipsit]

The problem

An error is generated when you try to assign a uniuqe ID to noaa_tides. A unique ID is required so that "Assist" will be aware of the tide information so that it can be exposed to AI for easy access.

# Tide Sensor
- platform: noaa_tides
  station_id: 8722494
  unique_id: jupiter_tide

ERROR: Invalid config for 'noaa_tides' from integration 'sensor' at sensors.yaml, line 7: 'unique_id' is an invalid option for 'sensor.noaa_tides', check: unique_id

In order to expose the sensor data to "Assist" it needs a unique ID.

Once the data is exposed to assist you can use AI (CharGPT) to read sensor data to make the house of the future:

No tide information. :-(

I just ran into it not having a unique_id for noaa_tides and getting the same error. I didn’t bother to try adding my own unique_id because the way I read the doc I can’t.

I did this to see if I could add units to the display of the tide heights (they are in feet but don’t display the unit.)
