Bom, apesar de inúmeras avaliações negativas, pelos mais diversos motivos, e observando que as avaliações também estão misturadas entre U1 e U2, resolvi comprar uma unidade deste controle. Tenho um Harmony 650, mas infelizmente alguns botões começaram a falhar o que deixa a experiência muito ruim. Enfim, sobre o Sofabaton U2, que comprei no dia 13/05/25 e foi entregue na minha casa no Brasil no dia 19/05/25, mais rápido do que algumas compras feitas aqui, posso dizer neste pequeno tempo utilizando, que superou e muito minhas expectativas. A facilidade em programá-lo e criar as Macros, é muito satisfatória, apesar de não ter as "Activities" a forma fácil de usar o scroll pra trocar entre os dispositivos, torna desnecessária qualquer "activities", pois ao selecionar o dispositivo e apertando o botão que configurou a macro, ele faz o trabalho parecido ao de uma "activity". Faço comparação com o Harmony no que eu utilizava nele, e não em recursos que existiam, mas não eram utilizados por mim, portanto minha comparação é muito pessoal e pode ser que não atenda a necessidade de outros. Tive um Harmony One por volta de 2012 e 2014, porém quebrei pisando em cima sem querer (Claro), fiquei muito chateado e comprei o 650, mencionei isso, pois a quantidade de dispositivos parece que não, mas faz diferença, o ONE tinha a possibilidade de usar 15 o 650 cai pra 5, o que é uma diferença grande. O Sofabaton U2, tem a possibilidade de utilizar 15 dispositivos entre Infravermelho e Bluetooth, e as macros funcionam com botões de dispositivos IR e BT misturados, o que eleva ainda mais as possibilidades de combinações. Vou voltar em outro momento para complementar minha experiencia com o controle, mas posso dizer que é um excelente produto, muito bem construído, bons materiais, e apesar do preço podemos classificar em uma categoria acima de muitos controles vendidos por aí. Resumindo, boa construção, facilidade de configuração e uso, me deixou satisfeito com o controle adquirido na Amazon EUA (Minha primeira compra na Amazon USA). *Em avaliações onde a reclamação era referente ao Wake, com a possibilidade de acender a tela ao pegar, isso não acontece, portanto pra não ter esse aborrecimento, deixe a opção ativada, mesmo que provavelmente gaste um pouco mais de pilhas, mas nada que um par de recarregáveis não resolva. **Em avaliações onde a reclamação era referente ao barulho das teclas, acredito que por ter comprado em 2025 essa seja uma nova remessa ou não tenho tanta sensibilidade com o barulho dos botões, pois o original da minha TV Philips de 2024 é mais alto do que o do U2. ***Em avaliações onde a reclamação era referente ao apontamento do IR, não tive esse problema, em nenhum momento precisei direcionar o controle para o dispositivo como se fosse uma mira laser, bem tranquilo e sem falhas. ****Utilizando em Vídeo Games, somente funcionou nativamente no Xbox Series, no PS5 só funciona através do CEC, que funciona bem, mas não é de forma Nativa. Acho que por enquanto é isso, espero ter ajudado com a minha experiencia inicial.

Is good for old people to use it compare with modern RC which very less button

Takes several presses and seconds to wakeup. After sleep recognizes several presses suddenly. In 2 months several buttons lost click response.

Great remote for replacing all your remotes. It's easy to setup and use but can use lights under the buttons for use in the dark. The learning feature is easy to use and you can program all the buttons very quickly. I found that there aren't enough buttons for all the commands on some remotes so you have to choose the ones you absolutely need. The other way around this is to create 2 remotes and splt the commands over these. I put basic functions on the first and setup functions on the second. Overall it's a great remote.

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.
