IKEA wireless dimmer not responsive

Hi, I’ve got a cc2531 hooked up to my home assistant. I’ve paired the IKEA wireless dimmer successfully, I have not bound this to the light through. The reason being, my setup is

  • single click to turn on off Hue lamp in the room
  • long press/brightness control to open/close blinds in the room.
    Both of the above are automations setup in Node-red within HA.

This works great, but the only issue is when the remote is not used for a longer period of time it is almost like it has gone to sleep. I have to press the remote once to wake it up and then the next action goes through without an issue.

Any thoughts on how I can solve this ?

Thanks
