The Bond Bridge (black hockey puck) does support IR. The Bond Bridge PRO (white with an ethernet port) does not.

So is the one I posted above the one that DOES support IR? I can manage mounting and line of site, etc.

I have a camera that is pointed at a TV device that I want to be able to control remotely.

@hongtat : I’m a (paying) subscriber to your Tasmota Edge drivers and i’m looking to go this route for the IR … any recommendations on what device to get? It seems impossible to find one that’s in stock and still supported from the list
