Pros: -Much better battery life than the X1 -The hub seems to shoot out much stronger IR signals than the previous version -Raise to Wake is nifty -More devices have been added to code library -Voice controls easy to set up with Google Home Cons: -Play/FF/Rew button placement is still awkward -Setup is not as easy or seamless as Logitech’s defunct Harmony line -No workarounds for missing commands for certain systems (PS5/Nintendo Switch/Apple TV) Bottom Line: If you’re fairly tech savvy, and want all your devices controlled by one remote, the X1S will absolutely get the job done, but depending on your setup, you may be out a feature or two. Review: After my X1 scroll wheel began failing, I figured I might give the X1S a try, as I had gotten used to the setup and hadn’t found anything else with as much functionality as the Sofabaton line. After installing and positioning the hub, I noticed that the initial setup was not only easier, but faster, with the X1S than its predecessor. There was no need to close the app for a certain amount of time either after updating, which always was a pain point for the X1. It seems to be the same body and housing for the hub, as well as the remote, and the package includes a power block for the hub, two USB-C cables, and corded IR blasters, one cord with a single IR blaster on the end and another cord with two IR blasters, for a total of three. My only gripe with the included accessories is that one of the USB-C cables should be about a foot longer in order order to accommodate better placement of the hub in anyone’s home entertainment system. The hub itself appears to send out stronger IR signals than the previous version, and all of my components turn on without issue, something that plagued me with the previous X1 setup. Overall, the remote is comfortable in the hand, light, and sturdy. The exterior of the remote seems to be exactly the same as the previous iteration, however, the font on screen is much more legible and the click wheel seems to be sturdier, very important being it’s the only way to interact with the screen. In the future, I would recommend that Sofabaton invest in a touchscreen instead of the click wheel, which would not only allow for better interaction with the remote, but it would also free up space on the remote body to correct another gripe of mine: the button placement. Just as a design preference, I would have preferred the home, menu, back, and mute buttons to be at the four corners of the directional button wheel, and then have the rewind, play, and fast-forward buttons in their place above the channel and volume buttons. This would make the remote much easier to use one handed. As it stands, to get down to the rewind, play and fast-forward buttons, you have to shimmy the remote down a little in your palm to reach them comfortably. However, this is a minor complaint for an otherwise well laid out remote. Also, most of the devices I use for streaming content utilize the directional button wheel and the OK button for the fast-forward, rewind, and play/pause functions. It’s only an issue on devices that do not. The device code library is extensive, which is a huge plus for the X1S. If you have a thing, this remote will most likely control it. However, there are also duplicates loaded in that library, some of which fall short of having a complete set of commands for the remote to control the device. A little clean up of remote code library is needed. Due to this, when there are multiple iterations of codes for a single device, you may need to go through some trial and error to figure out which one works best for you. Unfortunately, that does take up a little more time and makes the set up process less intuitive than it should be, but the trade-off is the huge breadth of categories, brands, and devices that it can control which is a huge advantage. While the improvements to the X1S over the X1 are minor, the increase in IR strength and reliability is a massive upgrade and greatly increases the reliability of the remote to turn on your devices correctly the first time. If you need a truly all-in-one remote, especially if you’re coming from other brands without the same functionality, I highly recommend the X1S as the controller for your set up; just be prepared to invest some time and effort setting it up.

I’m a long time user of the Harmony remote line, which ended for me with the Harmony Elite. The remote is getting long in the tooth and I’ve been researching replacement options for the last couple of years. I was extremely hesitant to try this out due to the reviews of the X1, but it’s time that I finally retire the Harmony. TLDR: If you’re a Harmony remote user and need a replacement, give this remote a try. It’s more responsive and more capable than the aged Harmony. No it doesn’t have a touch screen (which is a bonus from my perspective) and there are a couple of minor issues, but it works well when it’s all setup. Positives: 1.) The hub and baton feel well made. The remote is narrower than the older Harmony, and it sits better in my hand IMHO. 2.) Long battery life! I dislike having to manage charging multiple devices every night (looking at you Apple). The Elite got to the point that I had to charge it every night, or it would die on me the next day. It’s nice to not have to worry about the battery and to be able to get rid of yet another permanent dock/charger sitting around the family room. 3.) No touch screen. I have a family of four that all use the remote. I know being happy about not having a touch screen seems odd, but it saves aggravation around the house. With the Harmony, family would invariably touch the screen accidentally when passing the remote around, or setting it down, placing it on the dock, etc. etc. The most common case being accidentally starting an activity when getting up to leave. Not an issue with the baton. It also keeps the screen cleaner and I’m not having to wipe it down as often due to heavy use. 4.) The hub has 2 IR extender ports that are always on, same as the Harmony (though you could disable them with the Harmony) . This made the swap out fairly easy for me, except for a few issues I’ll get to in the negatives section. The extenders work well, as well as the blaster from the hub itself. I have quite a few devices tucked away and I’ve been able to keep it that way. 5.) The remote is very responsive! I’m not sure if it’s age, but my Harmony was getting very sluggish with sending IR commands to my devices. To the point that there was an obvious ~1.5 second delay between pressing a button and the desired action being performed. This issue does not exist with the Sofabaton and it performs as expected. 6.) The whole remote interface is faster on the Sofabaton than the Harmony. If I launch an activity, but need to swap to a specific “device” configuration because something came up that is not in my current activity layout, it’s just a few quick button presses and it’s done. Swapping between activities and devices on the Harmony was much slower. 7.) I have been able to completely replace the functionality of my older Harmony remote. There is not an activity or device I could not replicate support for. 8.) Specific “Device” and “Activity” setup is similar to the Harmony. Some of the descriptions were not 100% clear while configuring my setup; however, it was easy enough to test choices and figure things out. There was a bit more heavy lifting for a few of my devices due to missing, or slightly incorrect, IR signal information in their database; however, it wasn’t insurmountable. The good thing is, it’s done once and you never look back again. 9.) The raise to work feature works well. My Harmony had this feature, but it never worked well. Items to note: These are not positives or negatives. Just things to note. 1.) If you have an existing IR emitter cable setup from a Harmony installation, you may need to replace the cables. The Harmony supported 1.5mm mono jack cables. The sofa baton requires 3.5mm. Also, the Sofabaton would not drive the older emitter cables. I put a 1.5mm-to-3.5mm adapter on them and at first I thought the hub was broken. Nothing worked. I put my multimeter on the IR emitter ports on the back of both devices. The Harmony would send a .75v signal to the emitters, but the Sofabaton sends a .65v signal. I bought a newer 3 node emitter cable and everything works fine. 2.) Training command signals from an existing remote requires a pretty dark room. If you find a specific command is missing from their command database, you can add it yourself. Harmony users will be familiar with this workflow. For the Sofabaton, the IR sensor for training is on the top of the hub. You position your original remote a few inches above at a 90 degree angle, and press the button corresponding to the command you want to program. The problem is, ambient light will inhibit this functionality. Pick a fairly dark room if you need to manually add commands, and you should be good to go. 3.) You really need to understand your AV hardware, especially when setting up commands on the remote. A more specific example would be power toggle commands. Some TVs ship with just one power button on the remote that sends a “power toggle” command, while the TV still accepts “power on” and “power off” specific commands. The problem: the “power on” and “power off” commands may really map to a different “sleep” function than the “power toggle” command. This can lead to inconsistent power states, which will break device wakeup workflows when switching activities, etc. Negatives: 1.) The Sofabaton comes with 2 IR extender cables; however, one only has one emitter and the other cable has two emitters. My main AV setup has 2 racks, with multiple devices in each. One rack needs 3 emitters, and a “blaster” just doesn’t cut it. Good news is that I was able to purchase a separate 3.5mm emitter cable with three nodes for just a few dollars, so it work out okay. It would be nice to have more flexibility out of the box. 2.) Many of my devices didn’t work 100% with the commands stored in the Sofabaton code database. Not a big deal if I had the original remote. I just remapped the command by manually programming them in, and was done in a few minutes (once I figured out the ambient light issue with the IR learning sensor). There were a couple of devices that I did not have the original remote. The good news is there were up to dozens of potential codes to pick from for each command. The bad news: You’re pretty much stuck iterating up-to-80 commands and trial and error your way through. This can be very frustrating to some. Once you do this, it’s saved and you never have to do it again. Cleaning up the server side database for specific devices can help this issue as the product matures. Harmony wasn’t polished here when they started either. Conclusion: I’ve been using the X1S for weeks now and am pretty happy with it. I wish the remote had a few more dedicated buttons (example: add stop, and an additional button to fully support home/menu/guide options), and that Sofabaton changed the packaged single node emitter cable to a three node cable. All-in-all though, it’s a solid replacement for my Harmony and has allowed me to continue with my simplified remote lifestyle. I recommend it to friends who were Harmony users as well.
