If I understand you correctly, if you connect directly to the box in question, it will only work with boxes that allow this.
This is likely a small number.
Besides, there are many other devices people might wish to control from blu-ray players to surround sound receivers.

So, you would be happier if it worked via an IRtrans hub and controlled more devices.

Our current design will not require additional IR support, because we will be connecting directly to the cable boxes via your home's wifi / router.

Would having IR signal and requiring a dongle or trans hub be more practical for you than a mobile app that talks to all cable boxes via your home's wifi.

As most appliances operated by remote control use IR to communicate;
you'd need some way for an IOS device to transmit IR.
I personally prefer a networked transmitter that does not attach to
any IOS device.
