HR54 Genie and Google Home/Google Assistant?

I have DTV satellite with a single HR54 receiver.  Is there any way to use Google Home/Assistant voice commands to control the HR54?  Gemini is not a viable option because I’m handicapped and cannot press the Google assistant button on the Gemini remote for voice commands.

The Gemini is a mini client that needs a Genie (the HR54) to work  not a replacement for one.  At one time DTV used Alexa to control the receivers then switched to Google so AFAIK it should still work.  IIRC there was a post similar to this and someone posted there are devices made that can press buttons but that is all I remember about it.

Thanks for your reply but Gemini is the new streaming box for DTV Stream.  It doesn’t require the HR54.  That was my initial post a year or so ago and the robots are not a solution for the HR54.

It can also be used with sat service it just has different software.

My apologies!  I wasn’t aware that the Gemini could act as a client for the HR54.  Unfortunately that still doesn’t solve my problem.
