Vero 4k + included remote control stopped working

Weird issue, the remote control that is included in the Vero 4k + stopped working. I have changed the batteries out and still nothing

I usually use my logitech remote through HDMI to control the Vero 4k + , recently I dug out the remote to use that and it would not wokr at all.

I notice in the remote profile the default remote is selected, Anything else i can do? Hope something is not physically broke

You probably need to just repair the remote:

  • Remove the USB from Vero 4K / Pi
  • Hold Home and OK button for 5 seconds or so, then the blue LED will keep flashing.
  • Plug in the USB receiver and the LED should flash 3 times after 5 seconds, indicating successful pairing.
  • Power off Vero 4K / Pi for 2 minutes. Turn it back on. The remote should now work.

If you’ve not used the remote for some time, it probably needs re-pairing as explained above.

Also make sure you have the USB receiver plugged in

@sam_nazarko: is there No way to connect the orig. Remote Control with the Vero4K without the USB Dongle? I have used my Harmony from the beginning and now i had to Install my Vero4K new.
It Starts and i cant Control IT cause my Harmony IS still No longer connected and i cant find the USB Dongle any more.

Many thanks for an answer

No, the remote doesn’t work without the USB dongle!
You can either connect a Remote via Bluetooth or any other USB solution.
You can also use CEC (TV remote) to control the Vero.

Which other USB solution do you mean?

Any USB HID device.

USB Keyboards or USB Remote controls
