Description

So, it’s been a full year with the Sofabaton. I am sure you are curious if I still have my Harmony Elite in the loop. Well, I do, but not so much for me. My wife still prefers the Harmony remote. It’s not that she doesn’t understand or can’t “get” the swing of the Sofabaton. It’s more that she is accustomed to the Harmony and doesn’t see the need to go to another remote. If I disconnected the Harmony and all we had was the Sofabaton, she would be able to navigate it all. I find this troublesome because it assumes that everyone will intuitively know where to put the hub to reach your IR devices or where to place blasters. The FAQs do touch briefly on the use of the IR blasters, but I find it inadequate. Without belaboring the point, you are on your own if you need help with anything aside from programming the hub. Non-tech people who have no experience with hub-based remotes will struggle.If you are one of those people, be prepared to do a lot of Internet searches for guides and walk-throughs. Sofabaton X1 Build Quality

If you're looking for something a little different, the Caavo Control Center is an inventive universal remote that acts in many ways like a super-smart HDMI switcher. It also has its own universal voice search, so you can search across multiple devices and services for the program you want. How we test the best universal remotes Unfortunately, Logitech Harmony, a reputable industry leader, has announced that it has abandoned the universal remote control business. Sofabaton, a group of hardcore fans of audio-visual products, decided to step forward as the new leaders of remote control devices and provide users better features, more convenience, and ultimate control for their components. The setup is also a lot better. Originally, setting up any device was, in a word, terrible. The codebase was limited and buggy, and navigating the choices was not straightforward. Now it is a breeze. I got a new Apple TV 4K (review on the way) and setup took less than a minute and there was were no quirks like before. Somewhere in the 13 revisions, they got it right.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.

The sender/receiver hub has a fairly long range, and the remote connects to it without a problem, it does come with those extension cables though if placement is an issue, have not had to use it yet. The other annoying thing is that the remote has a sync time of completely random times, meaning when I am already in bed trying to sleep sometimes the remote lights up fully syncs and turns off, small annoyance but nothing I can do about it. To treat people with sincerity, handle things with faith and justice, respect the facts, and do what we say in society, customers and employees. Preserve Passion Some remote manufactuers with very well maintained code databases already have the toggle commands built in when you select those specific models of cable boxes. Most remotes I have dealt with require the person programming it to create a macro for each button to toggle or alternate between the two codes with each button press. And it often times needs to be done for every button on the remote. We have optimized the WiFi control of ROKU to solve the abnormal long-press without any response issue; So the million-dollar question. Do I recommend the Sofabaton X1 as a worthy successor to Harmony? As I said before, yes. It is not as polished as the Elite. But this is Sofabaton’s SECOND remote control. That’s right, folks. They are probably 90%+ of the functionality of the Harmony Elite after their second remote. I expect that there with be a Sofabaton X2 or X1 (ver 2) that will give you a touch screen or some other enhancements. Plus, I am certain that they will get all the bugs worked out.

Customer reviews

The setting up procedure is pretty straightforward like my harmony except you are using your mobile phone instead of your computer with an APP. You need to spend a considerable amount of time entering your devices correctly or else you will waste more time looking through the data base for an equivalent.
