In today's video we'll take a look at the brand new Sofabaton X2 smart remote which promises to be a significant upgrade over the previous X1S model that we took a look at before. One of the main features of this new remote is that it now supports local Home Assistant integration over MQTT! So in this video we'll take a look at the hardware, take a look at the software and cover a few complaints I have with the app and then test out the Home Assistant integration.
