Homey Pro infrared is working, but I keep it in the AV cupboard. I bought Homey Bridge and I put it in the Living Room so I could control the TV. For some reason, Homey Bridge IR doesn’t work, but I bring Homey Pro when IR is working. How to fix this issue with Homey Bridge?

It doesn’t work “just like that” 😉  
Via the devices’ settings, you should point the device to the Homey (Pro or Bridge) it should use to transmit IR;  
I assume the default transmitter will be Homey Pro

This was HUGE. THANK YOU! I wasn’t sure my IR was working, since every function I tested for my Samsung TV did not work. I finally just added “Samsung Most Models” then followed instructions to use “Satelite Mode” to choose my upstairs Homey Bridge as the “Antenna.” Now it works!
