Features & Capabilities

The SofaBaton Chrome extension enables Bluetooth-based setup and configuration of the SofaBaton remote. It communicates with the physical remote to access a cloud-based IR code database for TVs, soundbars, DVD players, and more. You can search by device brand or type or learn codes directly from original remotes.

Customize your experience by assigning unique keys and creating macro sequences, so one button can trigger a complex activity. The extension supports both IR and Bluetooth remote protocols and requires a Bluetooth Smart capable phone for operation.

User Reviews

Users like SofaBaton for consolidating remotes, learning codes, quick setup once you grasp Activities, and advanced customization (IP-based automations) with broad device support. However, frequent bugs, unstable hub connectivity, a steep learning curve, missing essential features (dark mode, iPad app, widget, export/import), and inconsistent documentation heavily detract from the experience.
Pros
  • Consolidates multiple remotes into one (five remotes to one).
  • Learning feature works well for adding codes from legacy remotes.
  • Well designed setup and quick configuration once you understand 'Activities'.
  • Advanced customization options, including IP-based automations with Home Assistant/Node-RED.
  • Broad device support and reliable control across devices, and works well with the U2 remote.
Cons
  • Bugs and reliability issues; frequent crashes and setup obstacles.
  • App cannot stay connected to the hub; connectivity problems disrupt workflows.
  • Very difficult to set up and not beginner-friendly; steep learning curve.
  • Missing essential features and poor UI: no dark mode, no iPad-native app, no widget, no export/import, and limited ability to edit/delete commands easily.
  • Documentation and device support can be inconsistent; some devices not listed or lacking reliable guidance.

Please for the love of god remove the “phone requires wifi connection” error that pops up constantly. Every few seconds! My phone has 2 or 3 bars of wifi and is fully functional both to browse the web and use your app and connect to my sofabaton x2 hub. It seems you programmed this error to pop up as soon as phone wifi drops from 3 bars down to 2 bars. Your phone can work fine with two bars of wifi. Remove your stupid error alerts please!

This app is good enough for the purpose, though I do hope they keep adding features and polishing it.

Still waiting for the Favorites feature. Was told last year it’s coming. When it does will definitely be a Harmony replacement.
