When I switched to LOS, i was also put off by the amount of permissions requested for that app!
I found this: - ASmart Remote IR --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raon.aremotefreegalaxy
I use ASmart Remote IR. Not necessarily endorsing it but it has enabled me to control whatever I want and it supports saving rooms like tags and devices in each room for sub tags.
I came from the exact same situation and battery life for the most part about the same as the Moto G but screen on time can change wildly depending on whether your watching video which gets me about two hours of screen on time and average day gets me 3 hours and a great day gets me 4 hours.The Ir blaster works with some apps the one that works for me is Asmart Remote with the sense 6 option on.
Do you have an Android phone with an IR blaster? App called ASmart Remote has A/C controls for Mitsubishi models.
And now with smart phones i have this app right here
I use this instead on my device: -

May not have all the features of the Mi app, but it suits my needs.
Don't have an IR capable phone :(

If you have an android with ir blaster check out this app has most tv and other remote controlled units
Try either the default app called "quick remote", or mess with this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.raon.aremotefreegalaxy
I use ASmart Remote on my S4. I'm not sure how well this works with LG devices, buy you can give it a shot.
The playstore version of the app, request allot of permissions.
