I finally mounted my wireless ZigBee-based IR sender in my livingroom yesterday to send IR commands to TV and soundbar, since my TV is half-smart, as in it can be turned off via ethernet when its on, but it cannot be turned on when its off and needs IR for that (dunno, its weird). Anyway, I was also able to bridge the accessibility gap of the Unfolded Circle Remote 3 with the help of Home Assistant, since the integration can launch every activity on the remote.

That gives me a universal remote with activities for everything around the flat, an alexa integration which bridges the touch-screen accessibility gap since I can tell it to turn whichever activity on, physical buttons on the remote mapped to whichever activity is currently running, and some smart automations which e.g. link the on/off state of the soundbar to the state of the TV. Kinda neat. The Remote sometimes seems to lose connection to the WiFi, but an update will hopefully fix that later.
