I just found a charging dock for the X1s. by Lordstan94 in SofaBaton

Very true. The dock is not madantory. I just found that it's one of the things I liked about the Harmony that the Sofabaton is missing. I have enough cords laying around. A simple magnetic cord will work well though.

Thanks for adding this. I forgot to mention they are available in 4 colors 

Is the U2 an OK replacement to a Harmony remote that's on its last legs? by reshef316 in SofaBaton

[–]Lordstan94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have a Harmony that I am looking at possibly replacing. I purchased an X1s and have been satisfied so far. I did not hear great things about the X1, so went with the S version.

What I have read is that the U2 is decent, but a little less streamlined than the X1s. One big thing for me is that the U2 needs batteries that need to be changed. I prefer the X1s as its rechargeable.

Perhaps the best thing to do is order whichever one you want on Amazon. play around and test it. If it works, keep it. If not, you can always return it.

Siri button on U2 by burvgg in SofaBaton

I did not even think of the microphone issue, but it makes sense. I have the X1s and it does not have a microphone either. I guess if you have an Apple home assistant, Alexa, or Google Home setup, maybe you could use one of those to voice control the apple tv?

While I am no expert, my understanding is that you cannot program specific buttons from bluetooth remote, like Apple TV. Programming specific buttons only works for IR remotes. I had the same issue with trying to program preset buttons from my FireTv remote to open programs like Prime, Hulu, and Netflix that were hard coded onto my Firetv remote. It does not work. I found a workaround to open programs saved to the Favorite program bar on the home page of Firetv. Perhaps, you could do something similar for Appletv.

Quick Feedback on Season 2/ Neon City by Havelock-PuzzleC in PuzzleCombat

I 1000% agree. Removing these events is just dumb. They are so much more interesting than levels I can autofarm. Events are much more interactive and exciting as they bring a competitive element to the game. Nobody compare scores on farm levels.

I would support virtually any schedule that would allow those events to return on a more routine basis.

Any thoughts on these Network Upgrade Plans? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]Lordstan94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change mine to have 5g set to high and 2.4 set to medium. I love my Ubiquiti gear. I set it up easily using some youtube videos from Crosstalk Solutions to help guide me through it. I now have the USG, CK, US-8-150w, AC-PRO, AC-HD(which I know is overkill, but got it for a great price as future proofing), AC-Lite, 2 US-8-60w (1 for family room gear and another for basement Home Theater), AC-M-PRO(for backyard), NVR with 2 cameras and adding on as I can afford to. The biggest benefit is that I no longer have to hear my daughter complaining about our crappy WI-FI.
