Sofabaton X1S: Is this the best universal remote?

[@scotaye]

Very interesting! Are you able to mix different buttons from different remotes and put them onto the same remote mode? Say the home button of NVIDIA SHIELD together with settings button of LG TV placed into the same remote mode, so I don't have to switch devices on the remote every time.

[@Kpaceguy]

Yes

[@Bambam21476]

I have an X1S and the remote itself is good but the software is awful and difficult to navigate and program. This remote needs an owner's manual. It took me two days to get it running properly and now it seems it only wants to run properly when it's dark in the room in the evening. During the day it won't switch to the right input many times so I don't know if the IR blasters are weak, or what. I have to use my U2 (which is excellent) during the day. Go figure?

[@Kpaceguy]

Make sure your IR blasters are in a good line of sight with all your equipment. I've honestly had no issues with mine

I have yet to find a remote that truly replaces my Harmony. I luv having the favorite (cable) channels with the network logos. When it works. I recently switched from Cox to Direct TV and the Harmony rarely changes to the correct channel - if that channel is in 3 digits. So frustrating.

[@gregbartley2475]

Mine works okay for individual components but not for activities. I’ve spent countless hours trying to get activities but it’s very finicky

[@Mimiclobster]

Bought this hastily as my Harmony hub no longer worked with some new equipment and I required a solution. Unfortunately, I missed the fact that the remote did not have a number keypad to quickly change channels. I find this to be a huge downside. Hopefully Sofabaton will come out with a cheap upgrade for current owners.

what happened too the give away you were doing? have not seen anything on it ?

[@Kpaceguy]

I gave some stuff away in some videos before I moved and then gave some things away to high school kids that lived on my old street. So have some of the other giveaways in storage

Hey, I just watched you video on the CT Sounds Meso 3 way 6.5 speaker set. What was your review of the in car sound quality. I am debating between them or something like Focal or Hertz. mainly SQ but like to turn it up every now and then.

[@Kpaceguy]

Let's just say I had focal in before having the mesos and I still have the mesos. They're incredible

[@jakenorris5665]

@@Kpaceguy awesome, I like a nice warm speaker like my B&W DM series. Normally the “loud” company’s like deafbounce, ds18, and sun down are so bright up top they kinda hurt to listen too.

[@P-LOWN1997]

Is the range any good for all your equipment? I hate aiming at my equipment to press stuff . I might get this device to not use a thousand controllers. Nice video and review as always man!

[@Kpaceguy]

I never point mine towards the hub and it always works

[@P-LOWN1997]

@@Kpaceguy it uses ir,wifi? How does it works exactly?

[@Dave-gs5ni]

@@P-LOWN1997 The Remote does not control your equipment the Hub does (so no pointing at anything and it even works from another room). The remote talks to the hub, using BT, and the Hub sends the signal to the equipment (IR, BT or WiFi) so for IR the Hub needs line of sight to your equipment or connect one of the included blasters to the Hub and hide the hub out of sight.

[@dwayneharris1438]

I have the U1 had issue with it wasn't impressed. However I am still open for a good remote. Apple can do something but will not turn on my panasonic player. My sony remote can do something but can control my Marantz Receiver.

First damn it and don't try to fight me for it
