Hi everyone. It took me some trial and error to pair up **Eglo’s Connect Remote 2.0 to Homey** , but here’s the process that got it working:

1. Install the smartphone app called **AwoX HomeControl** (don’t get confused, the old AwoX app won’t work, you need exactly this newer app version)
2. Start the **AwoX** app, set the remote in pairing mode with [on] + [blue] simultaneously for 3 seconds – it will blink with red light, pairing activated.
3. Connect it to the app, then run **Upgrade the firmware** (mandatory step, to make it work with Homey).
4. It’s important to **factory reset the remote** with [on] + [colored wheel] for 3 seconds, otherwise it won’t connect to Homey. Remote should blink many times with red LED again.
5. Remove device from **AwoX HomeControl** app.  
Set Eglo Remote 2.0 into **pairing mode** by pressing [on] + [blue] simultaneously for 3 seconds
6. In **Homey’s Eglo app** press **add device** and choose _Remote 2.0_ - it should show up and pair up.
7. … profit! \<3

Unfortunately without those actions, the remote won’t connect, as it runs the old firmware and requires to be updated. It’s for good, anyway, as they had quite a few security fixes as well.

Hope this manual helps! Don’t forget to like this post, so it bubbles up in the search.
