Play connection ATV

Finally got my new setup connected to my ATV. (core and play bundle) Having to broadcast my Coros HR monitor via my Garmin but that’s ok. We’re in business.
Only dilemma now is the connection\disconnection of the play controllers. If I do a workout and finish and save my ride, ATV automatically takes us back to the zwift intro page meaning I have to connect all peripherals again.
The plays wont play ball here. I have to put them back into pair mode to able to use them. That’s not correct surely???
