SofaBaton X2 Universal Remote – Touchscreen, Charging Dock

Watch the full review

A universal remote is only as good as the devices it can reach, and most of them stop at line-of-sight infrared. The SofaBaton X2 pairs a touchscreen remote with a smart hub that sits by the TV, so the signal reaches equipment behind cabinet doors and gear that does not speak infrared at all.

Four protocols, not one

The X2 handles IR, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and RF. That is the difference between controlling the television and controlling the whole rack — streaming boxes, soundbars, amplifiers and smart devices that a traditional blaster cannot touch. SofaBaton’s device library covers more than 500,000 devices across 6,000+ brands.

The hub is the part that solves hidden equipment

360° signal coverage from the hub means you can aim the remote anywhere in the room. Wired IR blasters are included for anything shut inside a closed cabinet, so the amplifier in the bottom shelf responds without you opening a door first.

One tap for a whole activity

Build “Movie Night” in the SofaBaton app and a single tap turns on the TV, wakes the soundbar, picks the input and launches the app. Button mapping and macros are configurable the same way, so the remote matches your setup instead of the other way round.

It plugs into the rest of your smart home

Alexa and Google Assistant are supported, and Home Assistant users get proper integration — including MQTT triggers, so pressing a button on the remote can fire an automation that has nothing to do with the television.

A touchscreen, and a dock so it is always charged

The 2.4-inch HD touchscreen gives direct access to devices, activities and settings rather than a grid of identical grey buttons. It lives in the included Type-C charging dock between sessions, which is the reason it never dies mid-film.
