Since the 02/09/2023 update for CE21 ne, the bluetooth is disabled in CE settings even if in services it is enabled. Therefore the B21 reemote cant be used, Today’s update did nor solve this problem.
Should be fixed in next nightly.
I am just wondering how to find out what CE version am I running? I’ve installed 20.3 nightly cca two weeks ago. Meanwhile there have been 2 updates I have noticed with pop up screen in Kodi asking me to reboot the box. After I did so I can still see 20.3-Nexus_nightly_20230816 version in CE menu.
Is this correct versioning, shouldn’t this info be updated too?
edit: if I do
CoreELEC:/etc # cat release
Amlogic-ne.aarch64-20.3-Nexus_nightly_20230816
It is recommended to update to the latest version 21, ne.aarch64. @ctyrka

BT will work again with tomorrow nightly.
Sorry my bad, I mean B25 remote that never work in CE
This is black remote from Dune? I test that one over weekend at it is working as always before (well, at least cursor keys and enter).
Not from Dune but from Homatics
Frodo, your homatics B25 works in BT in CE?
Anyway, black big one works.
I use in IR mode.
Not here, not a single button. It is irresposive.
Have you tried it in BT mode?
Earlier worked , but not tryed long time , cos BT not always connected. When connected after that worked. Thats why I switched it to IR.
Exactly… it does not work in CE. I have tried it in both CE20 and 21. It apparently pairs in CE BT settings, but do not work. Tried many many times, never was capable to hit a button .
Press 2 pair buttons again on remote and it will start to work. At least this usually works for me.
My opinion is that BT sucks. I just can’t get conclusive results with it whatever I do. So it is hard to fix anything is even basic usage is so chaotic.

I finally got my new box, opted for the Nokia 8010 instead of Homastic, as it was cheaper and also a lot of “like new” on Amazon.
Managed to boot Coreelect and everything seems to work fine via CEC and an old remote with USB dongle (I used it with Libreelec on an older box).
Someone else mentioned here that, when using the Nokia’s remote, the OK button doesn’t work with BT (I didn’t setup IR yet). The remote is reported as RC212. I am just wondering if someone has found a workaround for that.
To the developers, thank you for adding support to those boxes and continued assistance
