> [@david.ambarsumov](#): > > May be there is some reset buttons inside ? No, there isn’t. I understand that you don’t have another device with an eWeLink Remote to try to connect the problematic R5 and see if it works properly. Perhaps your R5 is faulty. I used to have a similar problem with the S-Mate, but I no longer remember how I solved it. Patience is certainly recommended 🙂 ---

In the eWeLink application, enter the MiniR4 settings. Select ewelink-remote slave device. Press add. The device will enter pairing mode. Press any R5 button twice. The remote control should be paired with the minir4 gateway. You set the functions of the remote control keys in the eWeLink application as SCENES. ---

Try resetting the MINIR4 and connecting it to the eWeLink app all over again. Then try pairing R5 again. Is your MINIR4 placed freely or inside, for example, a light fixture? ---
