I wonder why it's possible to make an IR to Bluetooth converter, but no one has made an IR to RF converter - even if it's only for one specific device like a certain model RF ceiling fan or fireplace. (yes I understand that Bluetooth is a standard and RF means anything that is radio frequency)
It's probably not an issue of possibility, but of ROI. If there were thousands of places where these would be used, someone would do it. Bluetooth fits that model -- there are thousands of places to use it. There could be hundreds of devices that work on different frequencies, and as long as enough units of any one type can be sold, it will fly.
