I know the problem you've run into. What you want is an ir REPEATER, not extender. It will be a receiver on one end and a little ir transmitter on the other end. You tape the transmitter part to the IR receiver on the device you want to control.

Hey Yeagert.
I actually did something similar at my home just now (literally).
Harmony hub was a bit too expensive for me, so I went with this instead:

I have 2 devices that are IR remote controlled, without any wifi connectivity or Alex integration options. One is a Stereo Receiver and the other is a sound activated LED light strip.
Anymote actually has a very nice Echo integration, and allows you to program/save any buttons, as long as you actually have a IR remote for it. You can even set up "macros" or group actions.
For example, when I tell Echo: "Echo, tell Anymote to START (Group command) my stereo (remote name)," anymote performs the following in sequential order with time delays in between per my settings: toggle power on Stereo and switch to bluetooth input.
Another example: "Echo, tell Anymote to START SOUND ACTIVATED MODE (group action) my MOOD LIGHTS (remote name), it essentially: 1. Sends an IR signal for ON, pause, switch lights to max brightness, pause, switch to sound activated mode.
I did notice a few hiccups with this setup. Because it's not direct coding but IR signal relays, sometimes you have to account for misfires - instead of just having it send 1 IR signal, you might want to duplicate or triplicate it just to make sure the signal is received properly.
The extender link I posted above should allow you to pretty much connect anything everywhere?
That won't work.
