Love the idea of this plugin, I have a number of out of range devices.

Is it the Bluetooth on the RPI that connects to your HomeKit device??

If so this will not help as the RPI is further away than the ATV, or does this mesh devices together?

you have to bring the rpi near the products for BT / ranger to work, If the ATV is nearer, you don't need ranger and a pi
