Sofabaton Universal Remotes
Sofabaton makes universal remotes that actually work — no complicated IR databases to navigate, no PC software required, and no subscription fees. Their app-driven setup walks you through programming in minutes, supporting thousands of devices across IR, RF, Bluetooth, and IP control protocols. Whether you have a simple living room setup or a dedicated home theater with a rack of components, Sofabaton has a remote built for the complexity of your system.
Products
Sofabaton offers remotes for every level of home theater complexity — from the hub-free U3 with IR, Bluetooth, RF, and a built-in display, to hub-based systems with activity macros and REST API automation — with the X2 adding native Home Assistant integration.
Sofabaton X2
The flagship X-series remote with a color touchscreen and backlit keys with haptic feedback. Hub included — AV device control via IR, Bluetooth, and RF, with IP control for an expanding list of compatible network devices. Activity macros, native Home Assistant integration, and a REST API for IFTTT and iOS Shortcuts. Alexa and Google Assistant let you trigger activities by voice. The hub provides 360° IR coverage up to 40 feet — no direct line of sight to equipment needed.
Sofabaton X2 + IR Extender
The X2 bundled with the IR extender accessory. Adds 7 additional IR emitter points beyond the hub's built-in 360° coverage — ideal for complex installations where components are spread across the room or need additional line-of-sight coverage points.
Sofabaton X1S
Hub-based universal remote (hub included) controlling AV devices via IR, Bluetooth, and RF, with IP control for an expanding list of compatible network devices. Features an LCD display navigated by a scroll wheel. Activity macros execute multi-step sequences with a single button press. Exposes a flexible REST API for IFTTT and iOS Shortcuts automations. Alexa and Google Assistant integration lets you trigger activities by voice — ideal for complex setups that pair AV with smart home automation.
Sofabaton U3
The latest hub-free universal remote from Sofabaton. Controls devices over IR, Bluetooth, and RF (433/315) — no hub required. Features a 2.4-inch LCD display, built-in microphone for Google TV voice search, Air Mouse functionality, and simultaneous pairing with up to 3 Bluetooth devices. Wake-on-lift activation and USB-C recharging (up to 3 weeks per charge) make it a significant step up over the previous U-series.
Sofabaton U3 + Dock
The U3 bundled with the charging dock. The dock gives the remote a dedicated home and keeps it charged via USB-C — so it's always ready and easy to find. Recommended for any room where the remote should always be within reach.
About
The lineup splits into two families. The U-series (U3) targets straightforward setups: app-based programming with no hub required, controlling devices over IR, Bluetooth, and RF, with a built-in LCD display and microphone for Google TV voice search. The X-series (X1S and X2) steps up to a hub-based architecture (hub included) with activity macros, Alexa and Google Assistant voice triggering, and a REST API for IFTTT and iOS Shortcuts — the X2 adds native Home Assistant integration on top of that — giving you the kind of one-button scene control that used to require a dedicated control system.

Why Buy Sofabaton Through TekScene
- Hands-on expertise and a working demo — We use Sofabaton in our own demo room, so we know exactly how to program it — device setup, activity configuration, power sequencing, and macro creation. When purchased as part of a full system installation, programming is included so your remote is configured correctly from day one.
- Right model for your system — The U-series and X-series solve different problems. We assess your device count, control needs, and smart home integration requirements to recommend the Sofabaton that fits — without overselling complexity you don’t need.
- Integrated with your full system — A remote only works as well as the system it controls. We program your Sofabaton as part of a complete installation — AV receiver, projector, screen, lighting, and sources — so every activity macro actually does what it’s supposed to.
- Local support when things change — Add a new receiver, swap a source, or change your input configuration? We’re based in Chapin, SC and available to reprogram and reconfigure your remote whenever your system evolves.
