So this product is built well and looks similar to the product I bought it to replace, which is the harmony. When I got into the app, however, I found it incredibly slow making the setup process very frustrating.
It supports a lot of devices but the library is no where near harmony’s library and my projector wasn’t on there. Furthermore, the device categories are frustrating because they don’t make any sense.
It has wi-fi capabilities but they only support roku, hue, and sona. I thought these could be virtual roku’s or hues so I could control my theater lights from an activity but no joy, they need to be uber recent versions of these devices for some reason (and none that I could tell), so the emulated roku and hues won’t be discovered. So there is no way to connect it to a home automation system that isn’t hue itself.
The control is okay and the activities are pretty easy to create unless you want to make an activity. The activities need to sync with the controller (or cloud) at each step and doesn’t cache the loads of the buttons on the device, so you need to wasted 5-15 seconds on each step for the buttons to load so you can select them. Then, the app randomly crashes loosing your entire sequence. I’ve tried making an 8 step macro about five times with no joy. App crashed every time. It’s okay if you have a 1 or two step macro, but that kinda defeats the purpose of a macro.
Synching with the remote is a painful process. It’s very slow and error prone. I don’t know how many times I waited five minutes for a sync only to notice that the activities didn’t get transferred or I was missing some devices. If you get it to sync… We’ll the controller works pretty well albeit with a noticeable (but maybe manageable) delay.
Also sofabaton promised a local api which hasn’t been delivered yet and supposedly they have a cloud api which I’m having trouble locating, but given the slow speed of absolutely everything, I’m very wary of.
I kinda feel like the issue with this control is mostly software and that maybe the hub is a bit underpowered in processing power. Hopefully this will fix itself over time.
It is definitely, right now, a very immature and frustrating system to deal with, but with the control and hub appearing to be well made, maybe a facelift of the software can compensate for its many shortcomings. I believe this is the case with their mobile app which can do a lot more to compensate for the lack of processing power in the hub.
Sofabaton seems to have a guaranteed 2 day return time on their support which is outstanding if it works. I have a ticket in to see. This *might* turn out to be a great device, but it certainly isn’t there yet.
[Updated] Moving this to one star as more information came in. The day after setup I discovered the app wouldn’t connect to the hub. I rebooted the hub and my phone. The app finally did connect but it took several tries between the app erroring out or crashing.
Trying to used the controller to watch tv with my kids, I noticed that if I was more than about 10’ away from the hub, the controller couldn’t connect to the hub. When they were side by side it worked great, but I have my hub in front of my projector screen and I control it from my chairs which are about 20’ - 25’ back. This was too much for the control.
Additionally, wi-fi control of my ultra was super laggy and unreliable . I’ve disconnected this controller and am going back to my harmony.
Given the hub/remote configuration, I would have thought they would use a more powerful Bluetooth radio for the hub and controller.
