> The two button press is to ‘sync’ the remote to the fan so I’m thinking that the matching is done via the remote and hopefully will be passed through to the Bond bridge (seems like that’s what happens with same remote with different dip switch settings from what I’ve been able to find out).

Yeah, I’d guess that’s right. It probably just has an internal address that’s paired with the double button press.

> IR emitter - what is the setup of the IR emitter? I’m thinking about putting the bridge on top of a dresser but the fan is pretty high up - maybe 10 feet. Is there enough of a spread on the IR emitter to shoot that high?

There are 5 IR emitters in a ring around the outer part of the Bond Bridge, pointing away from the center and up off the plane at around 45 degrees. I’d guess 10 feet would be fine, but you might need to adjust the position of the Bond a bit, or rotate it, if the receiver is in a region that’s not very well-covered.
