Whether a product is considered great or not depends on certain variables. What are your expectations and how difficult is it to set up and use? Let’s deal first with expectations: If you are wanting a remote that will, for example, with two steps turn off your TV, cable box, and then turn on your cd player connected to a different sound system or switch from Live TV to your Blu-Ray Player, then the Sofabaton is not for you and it will not meet your expectations. On the other hand if you are willing to utilize perhaps 3 or 4 steps, it likely will meet your expectations. That one extra step or two will save you two to three times as much money depending on which Logitech Harmony Remote you would be willing to purchase. I have owned two different models of Harmony remotes with the latest being the Harmony One. Harmony has an Activities button where you can press it and then select the activity you want. The remote will then turn off one activity (several devices) and turn on another--pretty slick. It has been a fabulous remote. However, since my model can’t handle Amazon Fire TV (a bluetooth device), it left me with a decision. Spend another $110 to $270 for another Harmony that would or look for something else. Now to address setup and ease of use. This will be in the eye of the beholder. If you’re technically minded, setting up remotes can be fairly easy peasy. If you’re not, both Sofabaton and Harmony will prove challenging, however, the Sofabaton will win for just basic addition of devices using Sofabaton’s library of codes and it’s far less time consuming for that setup than the Harmony. Should you need to have a button perform differently the Sofabaton can also learn from your original remote. Where the Sofabaton may prove challenging is that in order to gain somewhat similar functionality (i.e. Activities), you have to set up a macro -- a single instruction that performs that instruction several times or in this case on several devices. If you don’t know what a macro is, you’re not alone, but it does tell me your learning curve may take more time. Macros may be the most time consuming and frustrating element because there may be some trial and error in getting everything to work properly. To give an example, after setting up a macro I was able to turn on my Blu-ray player, Samsung TV and Soundbar with the press of one button. If I then wanted to quit, I could hit that same button to turn everything off. If I wanted to simply go to another activity I can simply press the power button on the remote to turn off my Blu-ray player, roll the remote’s wheel to pick my TV and then select an input from the Samsung Smart Hub. If I had used a compatible Harmony, it would have saved me the step of powering down the Blu-ray player and automatically have given me the TV remote function. Frankly for me, saving another $60 to $220 is well worth the meager time of having to power down one device and roll the device selection wheel on the Sofabaton. You do pay the piper, however, by having to set up the macros if your needs require them. Remember that both remotes will take time to setup and depending on the complexity of your request -- a lot more time. If you're one of those people who find it challenging to reset the timer on your microwave or use it’s custom defrost functions, I definitely recommend having a techy friend or relative setup either remote for you. Both will need programming. In the case of Sofabaton their customer support is more than happy to help. However, if the best you can communicate to them is that the remote doesn’t work, well. I can see an Amazon return in the making. :-) Additional thoughts: Unlike Harmony, the Sofabaton is not rechargeable, but you could use rechargeable batteries. It’s also far quicker to get up and running by changing the batteries than waiting for a depleted remote to recharge. Some people claim that their Sofabaton U1 disconnects from their Fire TV Stick. Short of an actual failure, the only way I know that can happen is if you’ve connected the remote to another bluetooth device such as when programming from your phone. Another issue will also simulate a disconnect. Your Amazon Fire TV stick will go into standby when not in use and go off if it loses power. So for example. If I power up my TV, I will have to wait for the Fire TV to come out of standby. When I select Fire TV on my Sofabaton I may have to hit the Home button a couple of times before the remote once again reconnects to the FireTV. If you switch away from the Fire TV and use a function on your TV and the Fire TV goes into standby, you may see a small pop-up indicating that the Sofabaton has disconnected. Rolling the wheel back to Fire TV and clicking on it will reconnect the remote. To me this is a normal function of the technology. Conclusion: Everyone's products are different and I can speak to only my equipment and experience. As much as I enjoyed the sophistication of my Harmony One, I can hardly justify the price when the Sofabaton is so close in overall functionality and I’m really starting to get the hang of setting up the macros. If your needs are quite simple, you might not even need their use, but the feature is there if you do. If I had one suggestion for Sofabaton it would be to have a qualified instructor make a couple of videos available on their web site with one being a general set up video and the other solely dedicated to creating macros. I believe this would be a huge asset for their customers and help minimize customer support requests. For my equipment and in my opinion the Sofabaton U1 is a great remote at a great price.

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.
