That was a great review and having the same screen and same-ish projector I’m sold! Thank you!

My old ProntoPro TSU6000 was fantastic in this regard. You could design your own tree of menu screens with custom graphics, assign macros for "activities" etc and learn any code. That was the last "universal" remote I owned that truly replaced all my other remotes and had good "Spouse Acception Factor". This thing looks pretty good.

Pretty cool device! You answered all the questions I didn't know to ask. Seems like it does a lot for the price. That was a really good video!

I have the harmony with a hub and my equipment is in the basement. Can you control devices in a different room and the TV in the room with this remote like the harmony?

The only issue I had with this remote was programing it. It took 4 days of hit or miss to get it right and the other thing I don't like is the backlit buttons don't light up until you press a button. So if you're like me and watch TV mostly in the dark, you still won't know if you pushed the first button you wanted to. Most other back lit remotes light up when you pick them up. Not sure what Sofabaton was thinking but it is a big disappointment.

Needs a homebridge plugin to add the activities to homekit

Been trying to set mine for a week to no avail. I’ve set up my devices, as well as a ‘watch apple TV’ activity, using lg tv, lg soundbar and Apple TV .

Whenever i start the activity, the Apple TV and the television will start up normal. The sound bar, however, will start up for like two seconds and turn off immediately leaving me just with the television and the Apple TV on… when I turn off the activity, the television, and the Apple TV will go off, and their sound bar will go on, leaving me with just the sound bar on.

I’ve been trying this for a whole week already, and I have found absolutely no solution. I have tried all kinds of combinations within the devices themselves as as with the activity and the interaction between all the devices.😢

I’m kind of hoping that maybe any of you are there might have a suggestion thank you😊

Does it have codes for carver/sunnfire?

Harmony was great would have been awesome if they kept going but sofabaton is great. So far still good with the U1 but X1 looks awesome

[Goose_Lord]

Very well done video. Do you know if it integrates with Lutron smart hub to control lights?

[RogerWilsonTodd]

How do you deal with the absence of digit buttons on the remote?
Any concern that there’s no way to back up or restore the configuration?

[chamtheman]

Does the Sofabaton still function with a receiver in a hidden closet? I’m searching for something to control my television volume without having to run to a closet each time. Any recommendations?

wow, this might be enough to make me trade out my Harmony Hub... this one has a lot more features, and more user friendly...

Everybody always says how good the hamonies were. Then why did i find mine torn in half in my junk drawer last week. Because they werent that perfect. It took a long of frustration and anger to tear that thing apart by hand!

[robbiedh]

Think I'll need one of these some time.

It could be if it had a consumer-replaceable battery.

A remote so nice, you bought it twice.
