Same problem for me with A9Mk2. Welcome to the “luxurious” and “lifestyle” world of Bang & Olufsen. ;)
Hi.. as i know they still work with this. And both bs1 and a9 will Get new software in this week. If everything in the Quility test work good. So maybe they will fix this problem:)
And if the fix is similar to the Essence "solution", you might get a nightly "plop" or "boop"... which I guess I prefer to weekly power cycles.
I've had the same problem with the BS1. The really big problem with the BS1 is that a power cycle isn't as easy as use unplugging and reconnecting the power cable. Since the BS1 has a battery reserve, you must press the button on the bottom of the BS1 to do a power cycle. As the buttons are not clearly labeled, I must get out a flashlight and my reading glasses to do this.
My solution has been to use a Lutron RadioRa2 keypad via the BLGW. I have more control over the BS1 by assigning and labeling buttons for specific sources and for JOIN and STANDBY. I use this much more than I use the Essence remote.
It's also a shame that B&O hasn't expanded use of the BeoRemote One for more BT products.

UPDATE:
With yesterday's firmware update we CAN now pair a BeoRemote One BT with audio products. I just paired it with my BS1 and it works great! Let's open the connection stability is good and hopefully improved for the Essence remote as well.
