Hi everyone,

For one of my IR apps, a user has an issue where they selected a Homey Bridge in the Satellite Mode setting, but the Homey Pro continues to transmit the IR signal even after selecting the Homey Bridge. They mentioned it does work correctly for other apps.  
Unfortunately, I can’t test this since I only have a Pro 2019 which doesn’t support Satellite Mode.

In my app, I send the IR commands like this:

```javascript
const signalId = this.getData().signalId; // in this case "aksf40bk"
this.signal = this.homey.rf.getSignalInfrared(signalId);
await this.signal.cmd("power");

```

Is there anything wrong here that can cause this behaviour?

Is the correct IR transmitter selected in the device settings?
