1. Go to Market, choose Formuler Remote app and update to v.1.2.6 first. Start Formuler remote app and install RCU Firmware update to v. 0.5.3d.
Do first like in 1.
Logic of use, incidently touch would that way change the function and user would not notice. Using in dark, older people etc. many reasons.
Check and pair again BT.
Thank you very much for your aswers 
1) Great - I have now updated the app and the remote.
2) Google assistant works now 
3) By using that logic, every button should require a 3 sec hold. But I am sure this is not a button that gets accidentally pushed, and even if it should happen - we are spending a lot more time long pressing the button. Have experience from many other remotes with the same button, never required to long hold and it is never a problem.
4) I still do not get a white flashing light... only red and orange. I have unpaired and paired 5 times, always with the same result. Should I not use the BT remote as IR remote when I accept the pairing?
