Add a unique_id so that icons can be changed in Home Assistant about ha-emulated-color-temp-light

[Mr-Groch]

@maxistviews @wessel145 Please update to 0.1.5. I've added possibility to set unique_id in configuration.yaml, but this should not be needed. If there is no unique_id in configuration, integration will try to use unique_id from original light entity.

[Mr-Groch]

It would be hard to specify unique_id from integration, because this integration doesn't communicate with physical device, so it can't read its attributes like SN or MAC that is commonly used as unique_id. This integration acts more like template. Try to add unique_id manually by adding in four configuration:

light:
  - platform: emulated_color_temp
    name: Your new light name
    unique_id: unique_light_id
    entity_id: light.original_light_entity

Unfortunately, adding this line gives me the following warnings:
Invalid config for [light.emulated_color_temp]: [unique_id] is an invalid option for [light.emulated_color_temp]. Check: light.emulated_color_temp->unique_id.

My config:

light:
  - platform: emulated_color_temp
    name: Bathroom Light (Adjusted)
    unique_id: bathroom_light_adjusted
    entity_id: light.color_temperature_light_7
    offset: -100

+1 for this idea, would love to set icons for these entities!

Awesome, thanks for adding this. Enjoy your coffee!

Thanks!
