But when Homey stands 6 meters away and at a 45 degree angle, it's apparently to far to be received by the Samsung TV.
The TV remote does work from this distance...
So the power of the IR leds seems to be not that high, maybe this can be changed?
This is *really* ugly. Can we please get a way to force-remove them????

The IR transmitter chip sits too low and to deep most of the signal is lost:
And some of the chips are completely blocked by the casing:
I hope they will tackle at least the Zwave range issue.
and in 4 days Homey gave me 2 false positives on listening. And stays lisening till a reboot or disable microphone and enable microphone.
and due to klikaanklikuit update I had to reset all my switches and couple them again to my flows.
Some has already tried that but that alone is not the answer. It still deep, the used OSRAM chip having tight beam angle, the IR beams are not overlapping + the board has a tilt (what helps sometimes, in other cases makes it is worse). Someone made a completely new casing to diffuse the IR signal. However if the housing is drilled at the blocked LED chip (left side - far-back in my case) that moves an extra chip into the service.
But to be fair the quality of the transmission has improved a lot.

With 0.10.0 my Greenwave powernodes were working again (1 and 6 sockets). With the latest 0.10.1 previous installs show up / double and other older installs of other App's (in my case Magister) show up too. I can't remopve these, so I put them in a separate folder
