Remote

How long had your Amp been unplugged for before restarting it..We came to the conclusion that the behaviour changed after the Amp had been unplugged for a longer time.

It will be 5 minutes at most, but since I'm about to have dinner, I'll power off Ultra for an hour or so to check it out.

Well, I completely forgot and it has been 17 hours since I unplugged the Ultra.

As you said, when I turned the Ultra back on the remote would not auto connect. I pressed the preset button twice and it played.
(This is not a problem for me.)

If you can figure out how long it takes to time out, you may be able to solve this problem by simply turning it on/off with the smart tap periodically.

I have a WiiM Amp that I leave powered on 24/7, so it goes into standby mode after whatever the default time is. I rarely use the remote -- a handful of times per week (once or twice on a weekday and rarely if ever on the weekends). It's dead again and that's 3 times in 13 months.

Punchline: I notice that the WiiM Remote goes through batteries at a higher rate than say an Amazon FireStick remote. What's your experience?

I have had my Ultra since August, never changed battery and still working fine.

Note that it goes into standby and need to be waked up. Press it once, wait a few seconds for it to connect and then press again.

I’ve had my Amp since July. I use the remote almost daily and haven’t changed the batteries and have had no connection issues. So far so good.
