SofaBaton X1S How Is It Different From The X1 Model?

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

Much appreciated Tim

Great video with lots of infos. Thanks! I'm wondering where can one find these infos, e.g. that the hub now sends on another frequency? And is it true, that the app supports reordering of macros and favorites? At least on iOS it does not work yet. Maybe this will come with a future update?

[@pein3480]

I'm unaware of the ios version as I run mines on a android. Since it's a new device I'm sure they are open for suggestions you could try to send them an email for further assistance. I'll look further into the reordering update to test out.

[@real-edperez]

Does it still use only 2.5 GHZ or did it upgrade to 5Ghz?

[@pein3480]

You can use either or honestly I don't bother switching anymore.

[@Dave-gs5ni]

Great video, just what I needed to know. Just one small clarification, you say you can move the Macros/Favourites position on the screen is this in both Devises AND Activities? Really looking forward to the next video on the X1s, as I need to know if its worth upgrading from my X1.

[@pein3480]

Thanks for viewing, I'll check myself and get back with you on that. It's about time for a update video it's been a month or so.

[@Dave-gs5ni]

@@pein3480 Looking forward to it. Can you also check this change please, it looks like they have removed the Long Press from Direction and Volume keys, which makes sense, but the last time they did that they also removed it from Mute, can you still assign a long press to Mute?

[@Bambam21476]

I have both and only have one beef. They are still hard to program. As soon as you have to assign keys to the remote to match keys from the original remote the issues start. I'm good with this kind of stuff and using a smart phone to do the assigning is a very good thing, but Sofabaton for some reason has made it very hard to get it right the first time you try and assign keys. It seems that there are too many pages of what to do, and you are never quite sure if what you did will work until you sync. the hub and you try the buttons, which takes time. That said, when you do get the remote programmed the way you want it, it is very good.

[@pein3480]

Nice insight, and I agree generally thank you for viewing.

[@Dave-gs5ni]

Minor changes like assigning buttons to an existing Activity does not require a Sync, as soon as the App says Success the button has changed. Major changes like adding a Devise does require a Sync.

[@Bambam21476]

@@Dave-gs5ni ...well there you go. So complicated you're not sure what the next step should be in fixing something. I have the X1S, and I like the remote, but the software is still all over the map compared to Harmony. I'm sure they are working on it so it should be good eventually.

[@jimco515]

Harmony still KING !! Won't replace till the wheels fall off.

[@russelldye5506]

u1 has wake up feature too except for keypad lol

[@pein3480]

Interesting, I never had the U1 for testing. I started off with the U2 model.

[@srikanthsbk]

@@pein3480Does it wake up when you place the remote on a cup holder in a chair and the chair vibrates with the subwoofers or bass shakers? Or does it wake up only when you actually pick it up and hold on your hand?

[@P3G4SUZ]

​@srikanthsbk If you have the wake on lift on, the screen will light up to every little movement you make. It's very sensitive. I turned mine off.

If I only waited a month, now I'm in pain!
