Landis+Gyr Heat meter: Why do you need a USB-connected IR Receiver for the Landis+Gyr Heat Meter and not connect using ESPHome or other networked device?

Hi,

I have a Landys+Gyr District Heating Meter at home, and am therefore very interested in this Integration. However my Home Assistant instance is located ~30 meters away, in another building. So running a USB-cable will not be possible, could this also be done using an ESPHome device with an IR reciever attached instead?
