I think this is probably wishfull thinking, but would it be possible to add the homey bridge to an existing homey solution so it could be used as a kind of range extender/repeater for RF and IR signals? i am still looking for a good solution, especially for IR devices in a different room then the homey.
Any thoughts are welcome, thanks in advance!

You can kinda do this using Webhooks.
You cannot extend or repeat signals, but you can install the distant devices on the bridge f.i. Then you can control them from Homey Pro using webhooks
EDITED The webhook URL has changed since end of 2022:
https://webhook.homey.app/AthomID/my_event?tag=my_tag
Like this:
From Homey Pro or Bridge A send a webhook to Bridge B:
https://BridgeB_AthomID.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/event_x?tag=tag_from_bridge_a
https://webhook.homey.app/BridgeB_AthomID/event_x?tag=tag_from_bridge_a
From Bridge B send a webhook to Bridge A:
https://BridgeA_AthomID.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/event_x?tag=tag_from_bridge_b
https://webhook.homey.app/BridgeA_AthomID/event_x?tag=tag_from_bridge_b
From Bridge send a webhook to Homey Pro:
https://.connect.athom.com/api/manager/logic/webhook/event_x?tag=tag_from_Bridge
https://webhook.homey.app/HomeyPro_AthomID/event_x?tag=tag_from_Bridge
• The event name (event_x) and the tag name (tag_from_bridge_b) you may invent itself, as they are the same in your flows (see sample flows)
• ( eu-central-1 = your used “cloud region” )
• ( …_AthomID can be found here as cloudId → Make sure you select the right Homey )
Example flows
- Sending a webhook
- Receiving a webhook
