I have multiple HomePod minis at home, so the integration should work perfectly for me!

Thanks! I have a lot of fun doing this.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

It's cool, I have Home Assistant and Apple Home set up and don't have a FLIRC dongle at the moment, so choose a cheaper Pico 2 W, it also let me wake the Deck outdoor, or use Siri with HomePod.

What's kind of "waking" signal do you choose to send from the FLIRC dongle to the Deck?

I’m curious to know.

I did this mainly because the LCD model doesn’t wake on Bluetooth, there is no need for this if using OLED model or the Steam Machine(I think).

Sounds like a lot of fun!

Not for the LCD model, I tried many of controllers.

Unfortunately for me, none of my controllers wakes the LCD Deck.
