they know in Struer about the issues (and are still working on it) and the first step is to reset the essence of course. if, in some cases (mine e.g.) that doesn't work they recommend to switch to the IR-mode, i.e. i'll get the IR-eye for free and i expect the parcel service to ring on saturday. i really was about 50 times on the chair to reset or to push the pairing button of the essence. so don't stop to complain at your dealer if necessary

Essence Remote Pairing Help

Well inspired by this thread I reversed the pairing sequence I had been using. Voila I am now paired. And the nice thing is I now get visual feedback ... when I twiddle the wheel the IREye flashes green ! And the unit behaves !!Thanks 🙏 guys
Elephant, can you explain what your situation was and the exact steps you took?
Have you always had an IR eye connected to your essence? If you hadn't, why did you go that route?
I started with the wheel, but had wanted to be able to use the standard IR remotes. So I bought the IREye - and between it and a Beo4 and/or a BR1 I had some success but not 💯 % of what I wanted. So I went back to wanting to use the wheel whilst leaving the IREye in place. Somewhere along the way I lost pairing. My suspicion is it was an update but who knows. Over several months I tired repairing. I always started with the wheel flashing green and then pressing the Essence's button to flash blue. Never got a successful pair. Reading the forum prompted me to reverse what I believe was the originally documented sequence. Bingo: going blue then green worked. Hope that helps. Did I answer the question you were asking ?Elephant, can you explain what your situation was and the exact steps you took? Have you always had an IR eye connected to your essence?

Thanks for your answer, Elephant!
Now that you're back to having a paired remove, do you find that IR is far more responsive than bluetooth? (I'm still contemplating IR as a convenient, set it and forget it alternative to Bluetooth for my Essence Remote).
I'll do so structured tests. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe the weekend.Thanks for your answer, Elephant!

well, i just installed the eye! seems to work well with the nice effect to have a second remote on the wall, lol. haven't checked it with the remotes 1 and 4 so far. and, Sal, as I mentioned above: I got the eye for free as a workaround to solve my problems with the bluetooth connection. thanks again
I have found this article through search. Helped me solve my identical problem as well. Thanks for that.
Cheers,

My Remote was unpaired again and I had to reset everything to resolve the issue. I wonder what happened that caused this to occur again. At least this time I knew what to do.
So has mine 🙁My Remote was unpaired again
