My Buwizz doesn't apply any power to the output lines unless you're connected to it, which means the app can't find the SBricks. If I connect to the BuWizz on the home page of the app, power comes on, but goes off immediately again when you close the test page.

I managed to it working once on my phone the android app, but can't now replicate it. As has been noted before, there doesn't seem to be any way to (re)connect to an SBrick if you're not on the home screen. Mine are permanently stuck in a "connecting" state. The scan button doesn't seem to do anything.
    
    For the brief period it was working, it worked beautifully.

  I have a question when using the "infrared transmitter".
  Is it normal that the output stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub) ? Does that mean there is a permanent IR link ? Not like with the Lego controller which just send an "impulse".
  To demonstrate this, I used 2 IR receiver with 1 transmitter, I run a motor on port A receiver 1, when I run another motor on port A receiver 2, the first motor stops. It is not possible to have both running at the same time.
  Another point, even with the application stopped, it seems that the IR link is still present : the led is flashing on the IR receiver and stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub).  less

    Lénárd Pásztor yes, this is a permanent IR link, I think the LEGO ir remote does the same too.
    If you are using multiple IR receiver with the samce channel they sould act the same. Can you please create a video about your setup, is it interesting that the motor stops.
