Echo Remote with 1st Generation Echo The original Echo remote which I have, which used to work, and then it was misplaced for a while, and then found, is not pairing. The batteries were replaced, and then instructions were followed on the app to pair remote, but nothing… App states “ Replace batteries, Hold play button for 5 seconds, Wait for up to 40 seconds"… Can someone help me with this please.

Hi @dadrockpodcast , Try resetting the Echo and check if that resolves the problem.
