I have a appletv siri remote in my home that I use on a daily basis and charge about 1x a month or less. I don't understand your statement saying the remote pairing is only good for one minute. I'm obviously within about 12 feet or so as the crow flies.

I have an IR file for the 4k AppleTV for Control4 and can extract those codes for you. I have NO ISSUES whatsoever with these codes. I have buttons for reboot, reset resolution, home, etc. I've never had a customer issue with any commands, much less the swipe down command. This will take me a few days to get the time to extract these hex if you can wait a few days I can get them to you.
