Sorry the remote has failed. You might replace the battery? Unfortunately these remotes are not the best.
You can use any IR remote, and there are waterproof ones available for something more reliable.
There are 6 pins for a keypad to attach on the circuit board of the tinypilot. The first pin is ground, and common, the other 5 pins can be used for buttons. This should give much more reliable control.
I have success today supporting RF remotes. These are better than the IR ones, but have other limitations. They at least don't need line of sight which makes them more useful.
