Check your internet connection. That white page should eventually show the Amazon login page for you to sign in & authenticate the iPad 4. Sometimes it takes a minute. Shouldn’t take any longer though assuming you have a good internet connection.
Thanks for reply sir.
I can confirmed the internet is working fine and good connection. I tried mobile hotspot, home WiFi. They are looking good. ipad 4 running 10.3.3 is supported right? Any others thing need to be installed?
Yes, 10.3.3 is supported. Try rebooting your iPad if it still isn’t working.
Tested on both ipad 4 10.3.3. Rebooted. Login page still not prompted.
Tested on ipad air 1, 12.5.5, Alexa login page authenticated. when insert a command, it prompted only works requires ios13 & above. It work well on Simulator.
Ok, I’m sorry. You will need iOS 13 or newer to use the Alexa stuff. It is using some functions that are only available on iOS 13.

No Worries. I can now safely ignore this feature. Thanks Bill.
Is anyone still using Alexa (AVS) with Home Remote? I have it working in Home Remote Designer on my PC, but it doesn’t work on either my iPhone or iPad. Both devices are running iOS 26.3.1.
When I first load the project, Amazon takes me through the login/password checks, but the Alexa buttons don’t seem to trigger anything afterwards.
Has anyone got AVS working on recent iOS versions?

iPad Home Remote fails to execute Alexa commands
Environment:
- iPad: Gen 9
- iOS: 26.3.1
- Home Remote: 4.5.0
What works:
✓ Alexa app on iPad controls lights
✓ PC Home Remote controls lights
✓ Bindings are correct ({Binding LightOn.Scene})
✓ Star prefix (*light on) included
What fails:
✗ iPad Home Remote - buttons do nothing
✗ Toggle switch - no response
✗ Both individual buttons and scenes fail
The iPad can communicate with Amazon (Alexa app works),
but Home Remote cannot send the same commands at runtime.
