Also no need to point at the device. You can point the remote anywhere. The cool thing is that you can hide the Hub in the cabinet to create a neat entertainment area.
Kind Reminder:
If your remote displays a ‘Lost Hub’ message, it could be due to the distance being too far or data transmission being interrupted during synchronization. To resolve this, bring the remote closer to the Hub and go to ‘Set–>>Sync’ on the remote to re-synchronize.
In case the synchronization fails, the remote may be unpaired with the Hub. To repair this, you can use the following steps. Open the Sofabaton App and go to Me –>> Settings –>> Pair with a new Remote. Follow the instructions on the page and operate the remote control to complete the pairing. The Hub will maintain the pairing status for 90 seconds. If the operation takes longer, please repeat the process of using the App and the remote.

“Watch TV” activity, turn on your cable box, audio receiver and TV, change the receiver to the right channel and switch your TV to the right HDMI input,etc.

Easy setup, versatile, large device library, excellent service support. Good Product!
Exelent product. Very quickly I was able to control a media system. I then integrated it with a Philips Eve lighting system The eve storm was integrated to an Apple HomeKit environment for other devices in the theater. By using a Sofabaton activity a single selection from a freindly display menu would adjust eve lighting elements which would then trigger a HomeKit automation to take over the lighting. The effect was the theater would dim, the colored wall lights would change, the projector would start up, the receiver would tun on the Blu-ray player would open the drawer for 10 seconds to allow the dvd to be inserted, the drawer would close, the lights would dim to dark overheads and the colored wall lights change to a low glow. This whole ‘program’ took me about 30 minutes to create. The initial device learning into the sofabaton system took 10-15 minutes since the supplied library was very good and contained all my devices. I came from a Logitech world and foun Sofabaton when Logitech was no longer available. Other systems such as Control 4 are more expenxive and require a license integrator to supply and to program. My main technical issues were in the HomeKit control of Eve lights and not the Sofabaton. I have multiple activities such as watch TV (tuner to receiver to projector), watch Roku, overall theatr shutdown with delays to allow time to get up and leave. Within activities macros have been assigned to allow lighting control and one key dvd drawer open without shutting down the entire system or disturbing viewing. I do manage to get an early manufactured control which developed a problem with the menu selection ball. I contacted Sofabaton and sent details as they requested an received a replacement unit in a few days for shipping. Very impressed with the response time and help. .

RIP Logitech Harmony — So, get this remote instead!
I am a very long time user of Logitech Harmony Remotes. And I was really bummed when they announced they left the remote control business because there is really nothing else like them for those of us with complex systems.I set up a new system and needed a remote to replace the growing stack of remotes that my wife was juggling. I found this SofaBaton X1S and I am impressed so far after a couple days of use.I will give more details, but overall, I can’t find anything with this remote that I can’t do, and seems to have all the same functionality as my trusty Logitech Harmony Elite.FYI: there are currently TWO product listings for this remote on Amazon, from similar named sellers, for the same price. I can’t tell what is different between the two based on those product pages.DESIGN- Albeit a simple design, I really like this remote. It has the basic buttons necessary, feels good in the hand. Not premium, but definitely not cheap. It does not have any of the soft rubber material that some Logitech remotes had, which are prone to rotting and feeling sticky over time.- The LCD screen is basic, but I like it and there is some customization (renaming and re-ordering devices and activities, ability to add a few icons, etc.).- There is a rolling button (for lack of a better description) that is separate from other buttons, controls use of the remote itself (by scrolling through the screen). This is intuitive and feels solid.- The remote and the hub use USB-C which is welcome.- The hub does have a light that is quite bright, which I had to put some tape over since it’s being used in a bedroom.- Comes with two USB-A to USB-C cables, but only one power brick; so you’ll need a second one to charge your remote (or unplug the hub while charging the remote).- Comes with breakout IR leads, which I have not needed to use, but absolutely appreciated for situations where you might need them.- The room I am using this has a basic set of devices, but I browsed some other options, seems like a wide range of devices are supported.- You can learn remote commands for devices which are not working correctly (I had to do this with the power commands for my TV) or for legacy devices which may not be in the library.PERFORMANCE- After setting up 5 devices and 4 activities (which took about 1 hour, to include troubleshooting), I have this remote working as solidly as my other set ups using Logitech remotes with similar, or bigger setups.- I had no problems pairing via Bluetooth to a Sony TV (although I find that using IR for this TV works better, which I think is a function of Bluetooth being buggy, nothing to do with this remote)- I have not used any WiFi components (I do use Philips Hue, but have not set that up yet)- I don’t use Amazon Alexa or Google Home, so I cannot comment on that functionalityVALUE- For $150 (with the current deal), not a bad deal compared to the original Logitech Harmony Elite price (I paid $250 in 2017 — now they go for MUCH more than that)- Given this reasonable price, and seemingly able to do everything the Logitech Harmony Elite does (which is now unavailable) this seems like a great deal.CONS- I wish there was a charging cradle for the remote.- I would appreciate a second charging brick, and I would prefer the bricks were USB-C instead of USB-A since all my stuff is going full USB-C nowadays.- I wish there was a way in software to dim or turn off the light on the hub.- Syncing the hub with the remote is slow, but TBH, it’s just as slow as my Logitech Harmony Elite.- I think other reviews have commented on difficulty programming the remote; from my experience, it is no less cumbersome than using any of the Logitech remotes. Which is to say that it is hard. If you are not savvy with these things, and have no patience, then you will be frustrated. But, TBH, I don’t know how the interface could be any easier given how complex of a job you are asking these devices to do.- It would be a nice touch to have a colour screen, but not necessary.- You won’t be able to use voice commands & searches for things like with Xfinity or Apple TV, but the Logitech remotes (and probably every one else) don’t support that either.- I am not certain, and I am not sure if it makes a difference, but I “think” the hub connects directly to your phone for setup, and not through WiFi (and then to your phone), which I wonder if that might be a problem under some circumstances that I can’t predict right now.- It would be nice to support Apple HomeKit.- No customizable wallpaper for the LCD screen, but this isn’t really necessary.

Couldn’t get it to reliably turn TCL TV On and Off after many hours of work and tech support
I got a new Google TV device that is Bluetooth controlled and my old Harmony remote can’t control it so I took a chance on the SofaBaton as a replacement. After some trial and error I was able to get most of my equipment configured except that my 2 year old TCL 4k Roku TV would not turn on and off. The menus for configuring power settings are not clear so I finally contacted tech support. Turns out that they recommend setting up my TV as a TCL Roku 4k TV and not by the actual model number that I has used. The actual model number was using WiFi since the TV remote was a WiFi model. The Generic model is IR. So I re-programmed with the suggested model and still the power control was not right. I finally figured out that their model was using the wrong command as it needed to be” Power Toggle”. Once removed the wrong Power On command and configured the Power Toggle, it started to work. It is not acceptable to require hours of effort to get a remote to turn a common tv on and off. Once I had the Activities configured I discovered that I had to keep modifying them as the timing for the TV was too quick depending on how long the tv had been off. Still it was mostly working. After a few hours of operation the next day I turned off the system and left for a few hours. Upon my return the same problem reappeared – TV would not turn on even though I had changed NOTHING. Using the troubleshooting tool in the APP would cause the TV to turn off and on when testing, but once completed the on/off commands on the phone virtual interface wouldn’t work and the Activity commands on the remote also failed to turn on the TV. I even deleted the Activities and setup them up again, but to no avail. I am returning the product. I really wanted this to work, but it is so unstable and buggy that I am not willing to spend additional time to get it to work ( and it might never work).

i bought SofaBaton X1S Universal Remote and I was expecting it to work with my Vseebox V5 Pro. but it didn’t work and I had to send it back returned it to the salon it’s a failure it doesn’t work it works with infrared but it doesn’t work with Bluetooth. So for those who are looking for Bluetooth remote control expecting it to work with S1X Remote, don’t be too optimistic it’s available
