Ability to control Portal TV via IR.
Ability to control portal TV via IR, so that it can be controlled via a universal remote instead of the included one. I have a single remote for my AV setup, combining 8 remotes. I don’t want to now add a second remote for just the portal TV.

I too would like this. I'd like to control Portal TV in Home Assistant. It would make an awesome security camera. You could really freak out the burglars by calling and talking to them. They wouldn't be able to stab or shoot you either!

Very sensible idea: every other device connected to the TV in our house is IR and the portal one isn't.
If IR was used, then my 90-year-old Dad could use his 'one for all', which has big and distinct buttons - instead of the silly little buttons with grey writing that come with the Portal.
