Thinking about replacing your old Logitech Harmony remote? In this video, I review the SofaBaton X1S Smart Remote after three weeks of daily use. I cover the setup process, build quality, button layout, battery life, and how it compares to the Logitech Harmony Elite and the Apple TV remote.
Youβll see how the SofaBaton X1S handles activities, works with smart assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, and how well it integrates into a smart home setup with devices like Philips Hue lights. I also share the positives and negatives Iβve found after living with it, including some quirks and glitches you should know before buying.
If youβre looking for the best Harmony remote alternative in 2025, or youβre curious whether the SofaBaton X1S can really replace multiple remotes in your living room, this review will help you decide.
