i have used logitech harmony remotes for close to two decades until they discontinued them. my last one, finally died a tragic lipo battery death, and i had to find something to keep my home theater setup working without needing to carry around a basket of remotes.i saw the x1s recommended and decided to give it a try. after a few days with it.... here is my take:cons:- i feel like this isnt necessarily a "con" and more of a personal preference or muscle memory issue... but i will list it anyway. i feel like the button layout isnt the best arrangement. the volume for example, blends in with the rest... and its the most commonly used buttons on the remote.- the software is aggravatingly complex. i say that not as it was extremely difficult.... it was just tedious. things the software should know.... it didnt. for example, i had no idea what my ps5 used for remote.... bt? ir? no clue... never cared to check. but it had all the codes... why should i need to go hunt and research to figure it out?- this "con" is much less about the remote, and more about HDMI-CEC in general... but i never had the experience with the harmony remotes, and not real sure how i had the same exact components, setting up the same exact commands, but would find myself in these loops.... the appletv would kick the television over to another input, then the ps5 would kick it back and it sat there flopping back and forth in a never ending loop until i turned things off manually. (for those curious, the fix to this is to rearrange the order of your activity from the default, and add a slight half second delay)pros:- AMAZING hardware quality. the remote feels beefy, solid, stable in your hand. it doesnt feel like a cheap empty plastic remote.- software, while tedious, does allow a massive amount of capability in tweaking the settings.- once you get it setup right... it works flawlessly.- mobile app is a much welcomed change over logitechs old proprietary pc application (and i think they moved to web some time back before it died). app is simple to use and lightweight.overall, im really pleased. my only complaints are rather nitpicky - and its more because its sooooo close to perfection, im rather sad that those few little things keep it from it, but this remote is hands down the best on the market now. id give it a solid 4.75/5 stars and highly recommend it.

My Harmony Hub and Remote finally died and is no longer available to purchase. In looking for a solution I decided to try the Sofabaton X1s. The setup was pretty easy. Only hiccup is trying to get the correct power option. Once it's set like you want it.. it's stable. The feel of the remote is good quality. A great feature of the remote is when setting it down it goes to sleep. When you pick it up it wakes. No button pressing needed. Also like the fact that it's rechargable instead of having to replace batteries. Plenty of programming options and an extensive database of devices as well. Looks like this is going to be a great replacement for my Harmony remote.

I'm glad to see a company fill the void of Harmony. I like the idea of the app, and the hub definitely boosts the signal, but this device needs a more intuitive setup menu with more setup options. Navigating the remote takes some time to get familiar. Oddly, you must back out of an activity and select a device to control it. Shouldn't that be the default once in a given activity? You would think so.I hope they improve in future iterations, but this system's value is around $50, not $180. I'm not looking for Harmony's exact interface, but get closer, and you'll have a winner. I will not buy another one until then.

The original set up had a little learning curve but once past that I loved programming the remote. I have equipment 10 - 30 years old and was able to program for all of them. What was taking five remotes is now controlled by one.It’s easy to tweak any changes in the app and sync it with the remote. I had trouble with a receiver but I just deleted it and readded it and now it’s working great.So much easier to use/configure than the Harmony remote that was lost.
