Experience Switching from Harmony
I just switched from my trusty old Harmony to an X2 just yesterday. I thought I'd post some thoughts about the process. For context, been a very long time Harmony user but frustrated with recent issues so I was looking for alternatives. Settled on the X2.
My current devices:
- Sony TV
- Sony DVD player
- Vizio soundbar
- Xbox Series S
- Roku Ultra
- Nintendo Switch
I was able to add the Sony TV, DVD player, Xbox and Roku very easily using the available list of devices in the app. However, I had to do a manual IR setup for the Vizio soundbar, but it did work.
I was unable to add the Nintendo Switch. It's connected to my network, and its hub has an HDMI cable connecting it to the TV. It used to work fine with the Harmony, but the Sofabaton app won't pick it up on my network.
Overall, I would say it wasn't too difficult to set this up considering my list of devices is fairly simple. I do wish the instructions had more step-by-step details. I made it work but anyone who has never used Harmony like me might have issues.
Also, for one of the devices, the volume down button is listed as volume dowm (with an m) and I can't figure out how to change it. Typos in a device like this look really bad.
