**** The Sofabaton U2 remote control has emerged as a popular successor to the discontinued Logitech Harmony line, gaining praise for its user-friendly programming, solid build quality, and versatility in managing various devices. Many former Harmony users have sought a replacement that maintains ergonomics and functionality, and the Sofabaton U2 seems to deliver on these expectations. The design of the U2 is well thought out. With a comfortable grip, high-quality materials, and a backlit layout, it caters to those who frequently control multiple devices within their home AV systems. The standout feature for many users is the ease of programming; using a companion app to connect via Bluetooth allows for quick setup and updates—a stark contrast to the cumbersome processes associated with older Harmony remotes. The U2’s ability to control devices using different protocols (IR, RF, and Bluetooth) also resonates well with users, allowing for a wider range of compatibility within their setups. However, it is worth noting that while the remote works flawlessly for many devices, certain limitations exist. For instance, it struggles with controlling air conditioners that rely on full-state IR packets, prompting users to Consider other solutions for such devices. Battery life is a mixed bag—while the ability to use replaceable AA batteries is a significant advantage, some users report average performance and suggest purchasing a charging dock for convenience. Moreover, users have pointed out that while the U2 excels in many areas, some initial command setups from the database may not be optimal, occasionally requiring users to refer back to their original remote controls to fine-tune commands. Overall, the Sofabaton U2 stands as a compelling option for anyone seeking a reliable, budget-friendly universal remote control, especially as a replacement for the Harmony series. **
