After 5 mins of not using remote
it goes into sleep mode
Takes one button push to wake it up, and it will reconnect within 3 secs or so then work great after that.
Took me about a day to get used to this myself.
We will probably be changing the sleep mode from 5 mins to 10 mins though via an OTA update.
Just way Bluetooth remotes are, otherwise batteries would die every week.
The remote also works as an IR remote if you un pair it from Bluetooth.
from buzz late march
MTK gave us the source code for the Bluetooth Low Energy module that is used on the new 4500 Remote this morning
This will allow us to update the Remote Software via a Firmware update on the 4500
This will take some time to decode + build + test though
So will update again once we know more.
Just thought we would update for now.
