If your Fire Stick’s original remote has ceased communicating, don’t worry; the steps outlined here will also work for pairing a compatible replacement remote.
Pairing the Fire Stick’s Remote with Your TV.
Restarting the Fire Stick and entering pairing mode on the remote at the same time will allow them to be paired. The Fire Stick will reconnect to the remote after it has booted up.
Pairing the remote that came with the Fire Stick or a compatible replacement follows the same procedure.
Pairing a Fire Stick remote is as follows:
- Turn off the power to your Fire Stick.
- Take out the Fire Stick remote’s batteries.
- Reconnect the Fire Stick to its power source.
- Replace the batteries in your Fire Stick controller, or put in brand-new batteries.
- The Home button on the Fire Stick control needs to be held down for a moment.
- When the remote’s indicator light begins blinking, you can stop holding down the Home button.
- Once the Fire Stick’s menu page has loaded, you can verify that the remote control has been paired correctly.
How to Pair an Additional Fire Stick Remote?
Up to seven different remote controls, including those from other manufacturers, can be stored in your Fire Stick’s memory.
You can add a second remote to your Fire Stick through the system settings if you still have the original remote and it is in working order.
Instructions for adding a second Fire Stick remote:

Can You Pair a Fire Stick Remote with a Different Fire Stick?
Different models of the Fire Stick remote do not work with each other. A Fire Stick remote can be used with a different Fire Stick, but only if the two devices are compatible.
For instance, the second-generation Alexa Voice Remote is not compatible with the first- and second-generation Amazon Fire TV, the first-generation Fire Stick, or the original Fire TV Edition smart televisions.
Because determining compatibility is difficult, your safest bet is to look it up on Amazon. Listings for Fire Stick remotes on Amazon usually provide a list of compatible devices; if you’re still unsure, Amazon’s customer service is always there to help.
If you already have a remote, you can try pairing it, but you shouldn’t buy a new one until you’ve made sure it will work with your system.
