Since there is not remote with the Hub, we are pretty much comparing apples and oranges where Sofabaton is concerned. Instead, you can navigate both your home entertainment and smart devices using your phone or tablet. The main difference is that there is no physical remote. The Harmony Hub will do pretty much everything Companion will do. I recently wrote HUGE blog post about the 21 best universal remote apps, and the Harmony Hub came out on top.

When the X1 first came out there were some issues with the early versions of the remote’s firmware (the software that controls the hardware was buggy). They are genuinely concerned about the user experience and improving their products. The thing that I like most about this remote, isn’t the remote at all. With Sofabaton’s release of the x1 remote, we finally have a mass-market universal remote that actually competes with Harmony and even excels in a few areas.
