Based on the title: are **all** of the devices IR, and are they all in the same room with line of sight to the Bond Bridge? ---

IR will require line of sight for each device to the Bond Bridge. They do not have IR extenders or anything to work in other rooms, nor can they change your IR devices to RF. App / WiFi control, as well as smart home voice assistant control, will only work when the Bond Bridge can send IR signals directly to your devices. Are you having trouble with any IR device when the Bond Bridge is in the room with it and has line of sight? You may need multiple Bridges if they all work but you cannot keep the Bridge in just that room. ---

I have IR fans in different rooms. Only one is in the same room as the Bond hub an is in line of sight. I use an IR extender so Bond can talk to the other room. Works perfect. ---
