hello,
I'm just curious: Why ?
more current ?
Anyway, I'd not short 2 pins that could be set as output and be in opposite states.....
If you have to, use diodes to avoid shorts

Using the IR to control the "heat pump" with the Heatpump plugin "Gpio4"
And want to use the IR to control the TV with the build in Infrared Transmit."Gpio5"
Have test it works :)
Thanks

It should also work if you configure the same! GPIO in both plugins and connect the IR to the one GPIO
