Getting Started with Your Sofabaton X2
Welcome! This guide provides a quick overview of the main steps to set up your Sofabaton X2. You will find detailed instructions for each step in the chapters that follow.
Before you begin, we recommend reading the next two short chapters to understand your new remote system.
Step 1: Understand Your Hardware
IR Control Options: Learn how your system sends commands.
Position Hub: Find the best location for your Hub to ensure a strong signal.
Korak 2: Povežite svoj Hub
First, download the Sofabaton app and connect your X2-Hub. (See Chapter Ⅵ & Ⅶ for details)
Step 3: Add Your Devices
Follow the app’s instructions to add your entertainment devices, like your TV and Cable Box.
Step 4: Complete Required Device Setup
After adding a device, you must complete its essential setup before it can be used in an Activity.
Power On/Off Setup: Tell the app exactly how your original remote turns the device on and off. This is vital for reliable control.
Step 5: Create Activities
Manage Input Sources: Set up your device’s inputs (like HDMI 1, HDMI 2) for use in activities.
Combine your devices into powerful one-touch Activities, like “Watch Movie” or “Listen to Music”, to control multiple devices at once.
For detailed steps, please refer to the Guide or Video Tutorials.
Understanding Your IR Control Options
- Default IR Signals from Hub:
The X2-Hub features powerful, multi-directional IR emitters. By default, it directly controls devices in its vicinity without needing to be aimed precisely. This is the recommended default method for effortless control.
Važan savjet: The Hub sends signals forwards and upwards in a 360° pattern, but not downwards. For best results, place the Hub on an open shelf with a clear line of sight to your devices, preferably not above them. - Control from the Physical Remote
If the Hub’s signal is obstructed or you prefer traditional aiming, you can enable the IR emitter on the physical remote via the app. This allows for direct, line-of-sight control. - Extending Range with an IR Repeater
For devices in other rooms or cabinets far from the Hub, you can use an IR Repeater R1 (sold separately). This device amplifies and relays the Hub’s commands to hard-to-reach equipment.
Positioning Guidelines for the X2-Hub
To ensure reliable IR control, choose the best placement for your environment.
1. Hub Placement in an Open Location (Recommended)
This setup provides the best performance for the Hub’s powerful, multi-directional IR signals.
plasman:
Position the X2-Hub on top of your cabinet or on a large, open shelf, ensuring it is unobstructed.
Controlling Hidden Devices:
To control devices that are inside a cabinet, box, or behind a door, connect the included wired IR blaster. Aim its emitter head directly at each device’s IR sensor.
2. Hub Placement Inside an Enclosure
When placing the Hub inside a cabinet or other enclosure:
For devices also inside the enclosure:
The Hub can typically control these directly with its own powerful IR signal.
For devices outside the enclosure:
You must use the included IR blaster. Run the blaster’s cable outside and aim the emitter head at each external device (e.g., your TV, soundbar).
3. Advanced Solutions & Alternatives
Consider these options for difficult setups.
Using the Remote’s Built-in IR:
If the Hub’s placement makes it ineffective for a specific device (like a TV off to the side), you can enable the remote’s own IR emitter in the app settings. This allows for traditional, direct line-of-sight control using the remote itself.
Extending Signal Range:
If the Hub’s signal or the IR blaster’s cable can’t reach a device, use an R1 IR Repeater (sold separately) to amplify and relay the commands over a longer distance.

Setup New Hub
1. Prepare Your App
Login or create an account in the Sofabaton app Select X Series –> Setup New Hub
Napomena: Your phone needs to have Bluetooth enabled and be connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (not 5GHz).
2. Hub Connecting
a. Plug in the Power Cable
Connect the included power adapter to the Sofabaton Hub and plug it into a power outlet.
Napomena: Use only the official 5V/2A power adapter to prevent voltage mismatch.
b. Entering Pairing Mode:
Press and hold the Hub’s button for 3 seconds (the Blue LED should blink).
c. App Connection & Network Setup
- Select the detected Hub from the list in the app.
- Choose the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (this must be the same network your phone is currently connected to).
- Unesite lozinku za Wi-Fi i potvrdite.
Napomena: The Wi-Fi verification process requires cloud access. If there is no internet connection, verification may fail.
d. App Connects to Hub, Ready to Add Devices
If the Hub completes network setup, but the app cannot connect to the Hub, please troubleshoot as follows:
- Disable VPN – Active VPNs can block Hub detection. Turn off VPN, then restart Wi-Fi and the app.
- Use the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi – Ensure both the Hub and your phone are connected to the same 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network and subnet.
- Retry Hub Setup – Attempt to run the “Setup New Hub” process within the app again.
- Improve Hub Placement – Move the Hub closer to your Wi-Fi router. If the Hub is placed inside a cabinet, take it out and move Hub closer to the router to increase the network signal. Relaunch the app to try again.
- Simplify Your Network – If you have Wi-Fi extenders or secondary routers, temporarily power off the secondary ones, leaving only the main router on. Move the Hub close to the main router and retry the setup new hub process.
- Avoid guest networks – Hub connection issues may occur if linked to an isolated guest network.
- Try a Different Mobile Device – Install the app on a second phone or tablet and attempt the setup. This can help identify if the issue is with the original device.
Dodavanje uređaja
- Launch the Sofabaton app & go to the Devices page.
- Tap the“+” icon to add new devices.
- Select the control type of your device
1. Add IR Device
a. Standard Setup
- Search by Brand & Model to load the correct IR codes. Navigate to: App > Devices > Add > Infrared > Search in the database
b. Alternative Methods (If device not found)
- Learn from Original Remote –Point your original remote at the Hub and follow in-app instructions.
- Test & Match Codes –Manually test suggested command sets on your device to find the correct IR code match
2. Add Bluetooth Device
- Search by Brand and download the required Bluetooth control profile
- Confirm pairing on the device itself.
Example (Apple TV):
Go to Apple TV Settings → Remotes and Devices →Bluetooth. Select the device named “Sofabaton_XXX” from the list to complete pairing.
Savjet：
The X2 supports two Bluetooth modes: BLE (recommended) and BT.
We strongly recommend using BLE whenever possible. The X2 can connect to three BLE devices simultaneously, offering instant response times.
If your device cannot connect to “BLE-Sofabaton,” try the BT mode instead. Please note that the X2 can only connect to one BT device at a time, and switching between BT devices may cause a slight delay as it disconnects from one before connecting to the next.
3. Add WiFi Control Service
3.1 Add WiFi Control Device
- The app will automatically scan for compatible devices on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Currently Supported Brands:
Roku, Sonos, Philips Hue (please check app for the latest list)
3.2 Add Home Assistant Remote
- Than, add a virtual remote in the Sofabaton app for controlling Home Assistant.
- Finally, in Home Assistant, set up automations to listen for MQTT commands from this virtual remote to trigger your desired automation functions.
- Firstly, configure the MQTT Broker information in the Hub settings within the Sofabaton app. This enables communication between the Hub and your Home Assistant system.
3.3 IP Control
- Directly add a virtual device in the Sofabaton app for IP control.
- Each command requires individual setup of the URL and Request Method (e.g., GET, POST).
4. Add RF433/RF315 Device
- You can add RF433 or RF315 devices using the learning mode.
Napomena:
If you don’t know your device’s RF type, check the back of your RF remote or inside the battery compartment for a label indicating the operating frequency (e.g., “433 MHz” or “315 MHz”). - Learning encrypted RF commands or a rolling code is not supported.
Power On/Off Setup
1. Zadane postavke
For most devices, the default power commands work perfectly.
However, we highly recommend you use the “Test” button to verify they control your device correctly. This is crucial for reliable Activities later on
2. Custom Power Sequences
If your device requires:
- A long-press to turn on/off
- Multi-step commands (e.g., press “Power” then “OK”)→
3. Startup Delays
For TVs or projectors with a slow startup:
a. Navigate to the device’s T urn On Settings.
b. Add a delay that is longer than the device’s boot time.
Why? This prevents missed commands (e.g., input switching) during Activity startup.
4. When to Configure “Idle Behavior”
You have to change the default settings in the “Power On/Off Setup” to modify the command action to press and hold， or addadictional custom steps.
“Idle Behavior” is an advanced setting that controls what a device does when you switch from an activity that uses it to one that doesn’t.
For most devices, the default setting (Turn off when not in use) works perfectly. However, you might need to change this for specific devices to improve your experience.
Stay on when switching activities: Use for devices like HVAC controllers or smart lighting that should only be turned off when you shut down the whole system, not during simple activity changes.
Uvijek uključeno: Use this if you don’t want the system to control this device’s power automatically.
Manage Input Sources
Napomena: Proper source configuration is essential for Activities to switch inputs correctly (e.g., on your TV or AV Receiver).
1. Devices Requiring Setup
This settings is needed for equipment with multiple inputs (e.g., TV HDMI ports, AV Receiver inputs).
2. Select the Input Switching Mode:
Direct Input Switching Mode
If your device supports specific commands to go directly to each input (e.g., a unique command for “HDMI 1,” another for “HDMI 2”), the system will suggest using Direct Input Switching Mode
Napomena: If Direct Input Switching Mode is suggested, it’s generally the fastest and most reliable option. We recommend choosing it.
Alternative Switching Modes
If your remote doesn’t have dedicated buttons for each input (like ‘HDMI 1′), you will need to set up how the Hub controls your input menu.
This usually involves one of two methods:
Menu Navigation: Teach the Hub how to open the on-screen menu ( Bring Up the Navigation Menu), then use arrow, number, or input keys to select a source.
Input Cycling: Teaching the Hub which single button (e.g.,’Source’) to press repeatedly to cycle through inputs.
3. Source List / Input Menu Configuration
This is a critical step for accurate input switching, especially when switching input by Bring Up the Navigation Menu or Input Toggling / Cycling.
Match the Device’s Menu Order: The list of input sources you create in the Sofabaton app must exactly match the order they appear on your actual device’s input selection screen (the menu you see when you press the “Input” or “Source” button on your original remote).
Example: If your TV’s input menu show
- HDMI 1
- HDMI 2
- AV
- DVD
You must enter them in this exact sequence in the Sofabaton app.
Napomena: An incorrect order or mismatched names will cause errors when Activities try to switch inputs.
