General TIVO box support question

[haseib2024]

Hello,
I have cobbled together my own TIVO box control in Home Assistant with a remote TV card calling IR codes and scripts. The only thing I'm missing is TIVO box standby status. Is it in standby or not? FYI, I enabled the network port for network polling access. So I went searching Home Assistant for TIVO support and found this repository. I have a TIVO Bolt. I read through the documentation looking for information on what boxes this code would support. It's not clear to me. I see that "platform" is required to be "virgintivo". Does that mean Virgin must be your media provider? On the other hand, I see code for channel scrapers with links to channel listings covering regions all over the world. So maybe other TIVO boxes and providers are supported. Is Bolt supported? Of course, since my setup is essentially working, I'm primarily looking for help(examples) on how to poll my Bolt for it's standby status. If I integrate your VirginTivo to HomeAssistant, will it create/expose an "entity" that I can use for this purpose? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have Tivo Edge and Tivo Minis throughout my house and use the integration in the USA (XFinity / Comcast, not Virgin). I use a custom channel list, instead of the channel scraper code that is in the app. There are example configurations showing how to do this.
