  • How copy settings to another remote? 10 month ago

    It amazes me how people constantly compare Harmony with Sofabaton, Harmony was around for about 20 years and apparently, they weren't very good to start with and were never perfect even after all that time. I'm surprised how good the X1 is now after only a few years and rumour has it the X2 will have this feature, along with more things people have been asking for. When the X1s was launched the X1 got the new features that didn't require new hardware so you never know.

  • X1 Baton Scroll Issue 10 month ago

    As has been said this is a well known issue. If it's under warranty Sofabaton should replace it, they did with me. Contact cleaner will solve it for a while but I ended up with the new one doing it as well, and at the point of spraying it every few days and out of warranty. The only long term solution is to take it apart, strip the ball down and clean it properly. Having now done this I haven't needed to spray for a few months now. Dirt/grease gets in between the rubber outside and plastic inside of the ball and slips.

    Have you found it on your Roku? Settings, System, Control Other Devises and make sure “One Touch Play” is not ticked.

    Just to make life easy CEC has many different names, it's called Viera Link on my Panasonic. If your RCA is running WebOS I believe it will be called Simplink. To turn it Off on the Roku look in Settings, System, it's somewhere in there and called One Touch Play.

    Have you turned CEC off? If not the Roku will be turning the TV on using CEC and then when the X1 sends the Power signal to turn On it instead turns it Off. Or if your TV has separate On and Off buttons listed (some do even if the original remote does not have separate buttons) change the X1's Power Settings to use ON rather than POWER and the TV will stay On.

  • Remote firmware v12 1 year ago

    For info it's not "new" it's been there a long time. Having looked this morning the word Beta is no longer there.

  • Remote firmware v12 1 year ago

    In "Me" on the app select Remote Firmware then tap either the top of the screen or V11 (not at home at the moment so can't check) multiple times, V12 will then appear.

  • Updates... 1 year ago

    Never owned one but from reading it took Harmony many years to produce a good remote and 20 odd years later they’re still not perfect.

    My connection is now perfect but I am aware some people have problems. I did have an issue when I placed the hub close to a speaker and in a Wi-Fi black spot in my room, also after a power cut I have to re-pair my Roku. So my thoughts are that peoples issues are down to the local environment and not down to software in the hub. This is probably the main reason for the X1s as it has hardware changes for communications, “wake on lift” and a new font being the only other changes I can see. The X1(s) and U2 are advertised as Universal AV remotes not Home Automation remotes (go and spend £700 if you want that) so Hue in any form should be considered a bonus, personally I don’t use it (I did buy a couple but sent them back as I am not upgrading my phone just for their app). You do have a point about it lighting up randomly.

    Why exactly do they need to keep rushing out updates? With the last update they introduced the last feature I wanted so my X1 is now working how I want it to. Constantly changing things just for the sake of it risks introducing bugs. API, which I don’t think I will personally use, is the only thing I can think of or am I missing something?
