Hi, when I press a button on the remote, if it's been more than about 10 seconds since the last button press, it won't do anything on the first button press and you have to press the button again, as if the first press wakes it up and the second press actually does something.

 

Is this how it's supposed to be?

 

Thanks 

I've played with it a bit more.

I've found that it takes about 1 second after that first press for it to start registering button pressed. On that first press and any more within 1 second the LEDs do not come on.

I pressed the colours button and that made it go away for a minute or so.

Just bought one of these and noticed the same thing. Hopefully someone knows a way to keep the remote from “sleeping”. 

This is the first sign that the  batteries are about to completely die. Check this thread for more information and a new firmware that will hopefully fix this from happening so quickly. 

I should've replied to this thread when I fixed it, sorry.

As @ytsejam1138 said, my problem was dying batteries.

Make sure your LEDs are set to 20%. At full brightness it uses an unnecessary amount of power and hammers the battery quite a bit. Please try the latest firmware as well posted in the other thread. There is an edge case preventing from sleeping. I also have a bunch of other fixes in that version as well.
