For anyone considering buying the Sofabaton X1s remote, it doesn't seem to work well with SkyQ Mini boxes. Most of the time, it is laggy or doesn't work at all. It could also do with a record button (you can programme other buttons to do it, but it would be nicer to have a button). It seems great with Fire TV Cube and Xbox Series X so far, though. #SofabatonX1s #Sofabaton

Today, I saved 2 #iPhone and a remote from the garbage. All of them needed… new batteries…

One of the phones will go to family when it is replaced in the fall; the other will become the new “home phone”, replacing a 12-year old sibling, which well earned its retirement.

The remote is a #HarmonyElite, which I had to resurrect since its intended replacement, the #Sofabaton #X1S which wasn’t able to fill its shoes and is now relegated to another setup.

Considering the website traffic and comments received for my #Sofabaton post, people care about universal remotes much more than I anticipated. Here is everything you need to know before you get one of these yourself.

I don't own a TV, I do own a sofa. This makes me at least 50% qualified to answer the burning question in my latest article! Everything you need to know about this universal remote from #Sofabaton

*hmpf* #sofabaton ist nett, weil sie einen #Hub haben und damit die Geräte hinter der Leinwand stehen können. Aber die Fernbedienung (X1) hat keine Ziffern. U1 und U2 haben, aber die können nicht mit dem Hub arbeiten. Super...

Getting a single universal remote to replace all the remotes in the living room turned out to be a game changer. I highly recommend getting one.

I was able to download the codes for all the devices, no manual programming was necessary!

I find that I am actually enjoying watching stuff on the TV in the living room now. It seems like having to switch between remotes or remote apps on phone had affected my enjoyment subconsciously.

Heute kommt übrigens (hoffentlich) mein #SofaBaton U2. Hat zwar auch ein kleines OLED, aber nur für die Geräteauswahl. Ich hoffe es reicht meinen Anforderungen und ersetzt damit 4 Fernbedienungen (inkl FireTV Bluetooth)

The Peter Pan of Nerdery™️May 31, 2023

The tech nerdery is in full swing here since I cut the cable (TV anyway) and went with streaming services. Today’s addition was a “SofaBaton U2” smart remote. Love our #Harmony 680 but it’s long in the tooth and #Logitech have abandoned them. #SofaBaton is different and in a way a lot more straightforward. Can be easily programmed via phone app/Bluetooth. Did the config this afternoon. You have a wheel at the top of the remote and after setting up some devices, the wheel allows you to select one and instantly changes the remote into a controller for that device. I programmed the color keys to switch inputs between my #FireStick, Odroid/KODI media center unit, #PS5 and #Switch. Works intuitively now. And god, the amount of streaming tv and movies we have here made my wife say that she feels like we’ve been living in the dark ages for years. 🤯

I kind of agree.

"Logitech stellt die Harmony Serie ein, aber SofaBaton übernimmt! Die neue X1 Fernbedienung & Hub steuern nicht nur IR-Geräte, sondern auch Bluetooth wie Apple TV, Fire TV & mehr. Erfahre mehr in unserem Beitrag! #SofaBaton #Universalfernbedienung #Heimkino"

Würdige Nachfolge? SofaBaton X1 Universalfernbedienung

Logitech hat die Produktion seiner Harmony-Reihe von Universalfernbedienungen bereits vor über einem Jahr eingestellt. Es werden keine neuen Produkte mehr hergestellt. Logitech war eine der wenigen verbliebenen Firmen, die intelligente, vernetzte Universalfernbedienungen anbot. Jetzt ist es anderen Herstellern überlassen, die Reste des Marktes aufzufangen. Das Unternehmen SofaBaton zählt nun auch zu diesen. Logitech war etwa […]

The only commonality amongst my various social media networks is that I always must find the #cats that are being posted.

On to other things anybody else notice that their #nvidiashield seems to not respond to #googleassistant commands. Sometimes it works other times it just ignores it. At least the #Sofabaton remote I have will turn on the tv through the shield and #cec.
