SofaBatonX1 Universal Remote, All-in-One Smart Universal Remote Control with Hub and App, Control Up to 60 IR/Bluetooth/WiFi Devices, Customize Activities

The SofaBaton X1 Universal Remote is a total game-changer for anyone juggling multiple remotes. I was able to replace several remotes with just this one, and it works seamlessly with my TV, soundbar, Apple TV, and even smart devices like lights.Setup through the app was surprisingly easy, and the interface is smooth and customizable. I love the activity-based control — one button turns everything on and switches to the right inputs. The build quality feels premium, and the rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charges.No more hunting for remotes or pressing five different buttons just to watch a movie. If you’re ready to simplify your home setup, this remote is absolutely worth it.

Do your self a favor and don't buy the 1x. Very sketchy device. Set up can or might be pianful.

I'm coming from a Harmony Elite remote, and this remote/software/hub does pretty much everything that I was able to do with the Harmony. I use the remote to control my TV, receiver, Roku Ultra, and Oppo 4K Blu Ray player. I have activities set up to automatically power on and switch sources, using the receiver for volume controls on everything while retaining the controls for each device. I also have XBOX and Switch set up for that's just for source switching and volume.The activities worked fairly well upon initial setup, but I had to alter some commands as they didn't work. No real big deal. The software still isn't quite as refined as the Harmony software, but that's mainly cosmetic. The software seems to be able to do everything that the Harmony could, but I would need a little more time to play around with it to really get into everything.When a command doesn't work on the remote/hub, on the Harmony there was a button on the touch screen that would automatically try to fix the command for you, then ask if it was fixed. That was really nice. The SofaBaton doesn't have a touch screen, and I haven't yet looked for an option like that on the software. It's nice not to have to open up the software to fix something. Usually it's a power on / off command that needs repeating now and again. Again, no big deal as you can also just repeat the activity command.Physically, the remote is much lighter than the Harmony, but doesn't feel cheap. USB C charging, which s nice, but the Harmony had touch contacts for charging, and came with a base that you could just set the remote into to charge. There is no touch screen on the SofaBaton, and the screen is also smaller. The remote has been responsive, so no complaints there. There is no IR emitter on the remote, but that's also a little redundant as the hub takes are of that too. This includes 2 remote IR receivers for the hub to hit if your devices are hidden, but I haven't used them as my equipment rack is open faced.The remote button face is very clean, and I almost like it more than the Harmony. There are a few specific command buttons that the Harmony has but I haven't missed them as I believe they would be more beneficial to a setup where you're command more than just A/V stuff.Overall, I am enjoying the SofaBaton X1S and would definitely recommend it for a replacement for the Harmony environment. I look forward to future improvements on the product!

I wanted to replace my harmony universal remote. I’m extremely satisfied with this Sofabaton X1. In many ways it’s superior to the harmony. The remote is aesthetically pleasing, not cluttered and the buttons have a nice click. The X1 performs all the operations that you could need for any entertainment setup. The X1 was marked down to a great price and I didn’t see the need to go with the X1S for very little upgraded features.I only have an Insignia fire tv, a Roku express, Directv and a Visio sound bar. Setting up the hub and adding these four devices was fast and easy. Creating three activities (Directv, Roku and fire tv) was also easy, however it did take over an hour. After adding the activity I spend more time adding and changing button functions to meet my preferences. I made some changes by using the learn function and it made this process quick and easy. The app does a good job guiding you through the entire process. Another great feature is the remote IR blasters. I want the top of my TV cabinet clear of any devices (except for the TV and soundbar) so the Directv and Roku are inside behind close doors. It’s easy to place the hub and blasters to control all the components without being seen. I very happy with this remote and don’t miss my harmony at all.

I have to admit that I have been using the logitech universal remotes for years. The one we have in the living room has a couple of buttons that are not always responsive, and since that model is not easy to get I found the sofabaton. I did not realize that the hub is what provides the IR commands. As such it is not easy getting that to sit somewhere all the devices can see it. Programming complex commands does not seem to work that well on the baton either. Its another learning curve I suppose.
