Review: Best option since Harmony - This is a great replacement for the older Harmony remotes and certainly better than any standard IR-learning remote on the market. That said, there are some differences that can be frustrating if you don’t understand them, and I’m convinced this is where most of the negative reviews are coming from. First the good The U2 remote has great IR range. I’ve read that the U1 had problems in this area, but I’ve not seen any issues with the U2 model. Can control up to 15 devices and has a database of hundreds of thousands of devices for control. I had no problem getting all of my devices added and they all work as expected. The shape and feel of the remote is good, fits nicely in the hand. Button placement is intuitive you can often find buttons by feel alone, which is good given that there is no backlight. Button pushes register quickly on devices via either IR or Bluetooth. This makes for a highly responsive experience. Buttons can be customized with a large database of options per device. If you can’t find that one unique button, however, you can resort to a learning function to “learn” it from your original remote. I had no issues with this. Now the not-so-good The setup is done via an app on the phone that connects to the remote via Bluetooth. I found the app to be very basic with few customizable options. For instance, coming from the Harmony family, you could program every button with actions from any device and customize fast presses or low presses for each button. I found no such option with the U2. The app is good enough but very basic. Some will appreciate that but for someone in the IT field like me, I would have appreciated more options. Macros are not allowed for Bluetooth devices. This may not affect you if you use only IR devices or do not wish to utilize Macros, but this would be a nice option to have if you are using Bluetooth devices. There are no “Activities” like you had with Harmony. You can work around this with Macros, but it’s not quite as intuitive as the Harmony system. Button clicks are loud. Not a huge deal, but you definitely hear it when you push a button down. No backlight! You can typically feel your away around the buttons as they’re all shaped slightly differently but still, a backlight would have been nice. Programming is done using Bluetooth to connect to the remote. This connection is broken once you setup your first Bluetooth device to be controlled by the remote. That means you have to re-pair with the app each time you want to make changes. Not a huge deal, but a bit of a nuisance. I did find that the remote re-connects to the programmed Bluetooth devices automatically, however, so it’s not as bad as it could be. So, with all that said, I’ve very much enjoyed this remote! It has been a solid replacement for my older Harmony models. I would highly recommend this to anyone with multiple remotes and many IR or Bluetooth devices. There is a bit of a learning curve though, so don’t get too frustrated when you first start out. If you stick with it, I’m confident you’ll be very pleased and will be able to make this remote work for you!
Review: What should be easy proves to be difficult - First of all I should have read the negative reviews before I ordered not one but two Sofabaton remotes with the intention of replacing my much loved Logitech Harmony remotes that became useless when I foolishly decided to allow my cable provider to remove my slow but relatively dependable cable and install fiber optic with Sagemcom control streaming boxes. Sure I negotiated a much better price for my package but the resulting tech issues have cost me a huge amount of time and angst over the past two weeks. The problem is that many reviews describe the Sofabaton as a worthy replacement for the Harmony and even Wirecutter rated it as "best buy". I'll take that up with the NY Times this week but here's my review of a few of the issues. 1) Pairing this remote with my basic bedroom setup of Samsung TV and sound bar plus a Roku 4K device for streaming was a nightmare. I was stuck between trying to get someone (anyone!) from Optimum to help figure it out and having to communicate with Sofabaton's support tech people who are HQ'd and responding from Hong Kong. Much the same as many other tech gizmo manufacturers you can't reach them by phone and this leads to extended email communication that comes in as Chinese but AI translates to English. This means frustrating communications as well as time gaps when you're trying to figure out terminology and pairing. 2) Eventually I was able to connect my streaming device to the new remote but ONLY by the "teaching from the original remote". Trying to enter the model number of even a relatively new soundbar proved very difficult as Sofabaton recommended a different model number and when finally paired reduced the soundbar to a silent brick. It took hours to figure out how to disengage the remote pairing and get the sound bar to operate. 3) In other reviews that are more positive I read that users liked the button setup and overall feel of the device. I have to strongly disagree on a few items: The keys are tiny and unlit and if your lights are off and you're going to sleep good luck on figuring out where the power button is. The screen is very poorly backlit (expectable on a low priced device) and very difficult to see the tiny print of the loaded devices. When I finally got the TV and sound bar connected using the roller scrolling device was pretty clunky. After everything finally got connected it turned out that the "6" key was nonfunctional and when hit would send the channel selection into wild unspecified channels. 4) My one positive comment is that despite working with a 12 hour time difference and using AI to translate language the response of the Sofabaton tech support was good. Their responses were as prompt as they can manage and while clear the terminology issues created by language differences is an issue. The problem is that the device is not easy to program in the "Macro" settings where the reason for a universal remote lies. What's the point of a universal remote if you can't even pair the most simple of operations easily or at all? My final comment is that I now have to go back to work and try to find a universal remote that is comparable to my Harmony at least in terms of function and ease of programming. I'm very disappointed with the Sofabaton.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Alexa compatibility?**
A: No

**Q: anyone having issues powering on? The power TV at the top is not turning on my TV or appleTV, once I manually turn them on the remote works great**
A: Use the cellphone app and enter the model number. THis will ensure the most accurate data is uploaded and the remote works best.

**Q: Can i control my activities on appletv, the volume on the receiver, and image profiles on the tv, without having to switch the u2 between devices?**
A: Yes, these can be by programming a button with a macro with is really picking buttons, telling the remote which remote to use and self one of its key functions. We’ll say it another way. Set up the remote will all your devices, they when programming your Apple TV remote you change a key and attached a macro to it which is setting another device and setting a function from that device. You do all the programming from the app you have to install on your phone. Support folks are very helpful if you need help.

**Q: I have my equipment in a media closet. Will this remote work through walls?**
A: It depends on the type of sensor and wall thickness. Bluetooth should work, but anything using infrared will need line of site.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty easy to setup but a button stopped working after 1 month
*by M***B on November 27, 2023*

UPDATE 2: Since Sofabaton replaced the defective one and told me to just keep the old one, I figured I'd take it apart to see what was wrong with it and just get an idea of the construction. The good news is it's relatively easy to open up (there are two screws under the rubber "nubs" on the bottom, just FYI). The buttons use a metal disc/membrane style. I was able to peel up the plastic covering the number section and I did see some corrosion or something on that metal disc for the "4" button which is why it didn't work. I used a little IPA to clean it, put it all back together, and it's working now. The metal discs are only held in place by the plastic sheet so if you had to do this on some other key in the middle, you may have trouble trying to get to it, but fortunately for me it was on the edge. So far, so good, I put this in my other room controlling just a few devices and it's working good so far. I'm attaching a photo of my disassembly and testing. I used an external power supply to test it out in place of a battery when I was working on that button (screwdriver is pointing to that flaky "4" button disc). My replacement is still doing well too. It seems like sometimes it doesn't "wake up" when I press a button even though the screen turns on. I've noticed this after a few days, and pulling the battery and putting it back in actually seems to get it working better. "memory leak" possibly? :) UPDATE: I reached out to the manufacturer and they were very helpful in sending out a replacement U2 remote which solved the issue (where the "4" button wasn't sending anything). Curiously, when setting up the replacement (I still wish there was a backup/restore feature) I noticed that the Denon AVR-S930H I previously used was now missing some of the discrete "input" commands, but I used a S950H model instead which had them all. So that tells me their command database gets changed/updated and maybe not always for the better. You might have to experiment with similar models to find one that has what you need. And I'm still hopeful that future app and/or firmware updates will add some of the missing functionality I'm hoping for. --- Original review: I wanted a replacement for my aging Logitech that's been having issues. This one seemed to fit the bill the best out of all the options. It was pretty easy to setup using the app on my Android phone. A couple things became apparent though after using it for a bit. PROS: - I like the bluetooth support and I programmed a few keys to manage my HTPC so I could play/pause, etc. without having to use my wireless keyboard. - The app is pretty basic but easy to use, not much of a learning curve. - The IR power seems to be about the same as my Logitech was. At least, it works from the same distance and I don't feel like I have to be aiming right at the device like some cheaper remotes I've had over the years. CONS: - The "4" button no longer sends anything, no matter what device I'm controlling. It doesn't show anything on the display to indicate it's sending IR, like it does for other buttons. That's just weird. Maybe it never worked... I don't remember if I'd seen it working before, but I noticed after 1 month that when controlling my Xfinity X1 box, which I finally got to respond by adding an IR repeater (known issue with weak IR receiver on the XG1v4 box), I could put in any other # but not 4. Then I tried on my Tivo, Blu-Ray, Denon receiver, etc. and nothing, it just doesn't send, as if the button is physically dead. It clicks fine (super loud clicks like all the others), so maybe it's software/electronic related? - Once you setup a device, you have ZERO ways of modifying the type of device. Yes, you can modify key assignments, but you can't change what the device is. Like if you get a different Blu-Ray player, you can't change from Samsung to Sony, you have to delete the old device and setup a new one from scratch. Normally that wouldn't be terrible, but in my case I had a bluetooth device to control my HTPC and I had all kinds of custom buttons setup for it. Then I switched to a different computer and wanted to pair it up again with the new one and keep all of those button assignments, but you can't do that! I had to delete it and then spend a bunch of time remembering what all the customizations were. I should be able to pair it to a new device, right? - This brought up another aspect - there's no way to backup your configuration, or even view how your devices are setup. I have a list of all my devices (makes, models, etc) but maybe I want to make sure I put in the right info when I set it up? But again, all you can do in the app really is change the display name and modify buttons. - The remote does not have distinct buttons for things like page up/down that most cable boxes have (or I could have used that for Tivo thumbs up/down which is how I had my Logitech doing it with those separate up/down buttons on those). I worked around it by using a couple of the "color" buttons for page up/down but that only makes sense to me. Good luck to anyone else using the remote with instructions taped to it. :) The other color buttons I used to mimic the Xfinity "A", "B" (didn't care about C or D) buttons, so again, doesn't make a bunch of sense, but those are less common across other remotes so I'm fine with that. It would have been great to have a couple of "customizable" buttons though, for generic use. In the end, given the shortcomings and the fact that "4" doesn't work at all, I'm probably going to eat the cost of this and it'll become e-waste, unless the support email I sent to Sofabaton results in getting a replacement or something. I don't know if I can exchange through Amazon since I didn't keep the packaging, but I'll try that avenue if Sofabaton doesn't come through for me. On the flip side, if Sofabaton and/or Amazon does get me a replacement eventually, I'll bump my review, because the other cons I mentioned were kind of known in advance and maybe, just maybe, those could be addressed for the most part with some software/app updates, and my workaround for missing customizable buttons is good enough that I could live with it.
