@Kevin_Vijver this app focusses on the Zigbee based Xiaomi / Aqara devices.  
The Xiaomi Universal IR Remote Controller is a WiFi based device.

You could check if Xiaomi Mi Home app developer is able to add support for this device: [[APP][Pro] Xiaomi Mi Home App](https://community.homey.app/t/118)

Alternative would be to use a BroadLink RM mini 3: [https://www.gearbest.com/living-appliances/pp\_357329.html?wid=1433363](https://www.gearbest.com/living-appliances/pp_357329.html?wid=1433363) which is supported by the Broadlink app: [Broadlink App for Homey | Homey](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.broadlink)
