hi -- thank you for the info! where/how can i buy/do this?

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I haven't tested this yet, but when I had the NEEO remote from Kickstarter -- it had a very identical set up to the Sofabaton X1. Look into this -- you can always return if it doesn't work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WQNHQP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
