About this deal

Anyway, I don’t like the buttons as they are very plasticky and I always pick it up upside down for some reason, so ergonomics could be better.

Sofabaton X1 Review - One Year Update | AV Gadgets

Some of the iOS software is nuanced, and you have to carefully look at what at first looks like a simple statement is actually an option that can be selected. The hub randomly locks up requiring power cycling by unplugging it frequently for many people on the forums (leading to “Lost hub” messages on the remote). I don’t mind it because I rarely need to access my devices, so I like not being able to press it accidentally. If they're not in the lists, you can manually learning the remote functions to the system via the hub. In the update you claim the Sofabaton IR is not as good as the Logitech because it doesn’t turn on your TV with the curtains open.So it’s been a whole month since I posted my review, and I have been using the Sofabaton X1 exclusively as my daily remote.

The Google Home integration is the last hurdle (for me) that Sofabaton needs to meet for me to be content with the remote as a whole. Hi all, I’m a suffering Harmony user – we lost the smart remote to a water spill a couple of months ago at learned at that point about the line being discontinued. I actually have a Harmony Elite I don’t use cause I like the hard number keys on the Companion/One remote. I had a couple of questions and a request for codes, and they got back to me within 48 hours with an answer and updated codes. Eventually, I figured out the quirks with my settings, but I would assume that the novice would get frustrated quickly and give up.Yes, I have a cable TV set top box – it’s totally useless for changing channels the way they lay out the numbers. I have an OLED, Projector, motorised screen, AVR and numerous sources including Nvidia Shield, Virgin Media box, UHD Blu Ray player. With the X1 app, I selected the Nvidia Shield and then found the Sofabaton under the pairing menu on the Shield. Sofabaton is not perfect, but they are responsive and work hard to make sure they get what you need.

Without belaboring the point, you are on your own if you need help with anything aside from programming the hub. Although you can select devices on the remote's LCD screen, you can't simply use the remote as a universal remote to control the TV or other device.With a Harmony remote the handset can perform this function which is ideal if you want to either run without a hub, or hide the hub away in a cabinet.
