How to Pair 2 or More Remotes/Sensors with TRADFRI from IKEA (Instructions in Description)

Did you buy a few different TRÅDFRI remotes from IKEA for your smart lights? Didn't buy a gateway? This is how I paired multiple remotes together so they are linked to the same group.

Step 0:
If you have been pairing both remotes already and didn't work, factory reset both remotes by pressing the sync button 4 times really fast (within 5 seconds). Once both remotes have been reset, move onto step 1.
Step 1:
Pair main remote with lights (in my case, I paired the controller remote with my two colour changing lights)
Step 2:
Walk away from your lights (at least a metre) and hold both remotes together.
Step 3:
Reveal back panel of both remotes so you can see the sync button.
Step 4:
Press and hold the main remote (the one you just paired the lights to) for 1 second then press and hold the second remote (do not let go of the first remote, hold both of them). Press both buttons for 10 seconds. You will see a faint led flash.

NB: You should have now successfully paired both remotes together. If in the case where you have a sensor and controller remote, I have noticed that the sensor only works if you turn off the lights with the controller first, otherwise the timer does not go off automatically to switch off.
