How do I connect my Genio IR receiver?

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I just purchased a Genio IR receiver. I used the DIY option for my aircon as it’s really old. Managed to program the on/off button and link my Alexa to turn it on (still trying to figure how to turn it off as the scene works from my phone but not Alexa).

Anyway, I added:

discovery:
  ignore:
    - sonos
    - samsung_tv
    - netgear_router
    - plex_mediaserver
  enable:
    - homekit
    - dlna_dmr

I then got a new integration which I configured called ‘UPnP/IGD’.

How do I add my IR sensor so I can access the devices that are enabled through it? And also, is there a way to directly add the connected devices through HomeAssistant? I would like to try showing an entity-button that tells me if the aircon is working or not, and be able to toggle it on/off.

Thanks very much!

Hi Andarras - did you end up having any luck with your Genio IR? I have managed to get mine set up in Tuya, but unlike my smart plugs the IR hasn’t automatically appeared in HA.
