In this post, we’ll look at how to set the Sofabaton U1 universal remote to your devices like TVs, DVDs, Boxes, streaming devices, etc.
Whenever the Sofabaton U1 universal remote comes to mind, I get excited. I can’t wait to share more about this awesome remote, which I believe is the only one I’ll need for all the devices in my home. I’ve already written more about the updated Sofabaton U1 universal remote.
Instead of going over the Sofabaton U1 universal remote again, let’s focus on how to program, set up, or pair it with different devices. We know this remote is compatible with a wide range of products, including TVs, smart TVs, streaming devices (it works with Roku boxes, but not Roku sticks), projectors, DVD players, soundbars, and more. It can also pair with up to 15 devices.
So, what’s the result? Only one remote is needed to control all the devices in our home. The remote’s compatibility is impressive, working with both IR and Bluetooth devices.
How to program the sofabaton u1 remote?
When it comes to the Sofabaton U1 universal remote, I prefer using the word “Pairing” instead of programming. The setup process for the Sofabaton U1 is quite different from traditional universal remotes. You need to use the Sofabaton app to set up the device.
Pairing the Sofabaton U1, F2, or X1 remote with any device is very easy, and there’s no need for remote code entry during the pairing process.
Step 1: Install the Sofabaton remote app on your smartphone
Download and install the Sofabaton remote app on your smartphone. The app is available for both iOS and Android and can be downloaded from their respective app stores. I’ll also provide the link to download the apps.

Step 2: Turn ON Bluetooth on your smartphone
After turning on Bluetooth on your smartphone, open the Sofabaton remote app. When you launch the app, you’ll be presented with two options: Sofabaton U1 and Sofabaton X1. Select the remote you want to use.
Step 3: Pair the remote with the application on the smartphone
Next, we need to pair the Sofabaton remote app with the Sofabaton remote control. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the “-” and “e” buttons on the remote for a few seconds. Check the OLED display to see when the pairing is complete. You’ll receive a notification once the remote is paired with the app.
Step 4: Add devices to the Sofabaton remote Via the application
After pairing the remote with the app, open the remote app, and then select the “Add Device button” from the app interface.
When you tap on the add device button, you’ll get three types of adding the device methods like
- By IR Matching Mode
- By Ir Learning Mode
- By Bluetooth Mode
Select the mode you want to add the device. Most probably, you have to choose the “By Bluetooth Mode” to add the device. Select any one mode of adding the devices.
Step 5: Add the device type
When you tap on the adding method, you’ll get some tabs that allow the Sofabaton remote to add the type or categories of devices.
You’ll see the tabs for TV, STB, Projector, DVD, Streaming players, Other, etc.
Tap on the device type you wish to set up with the Sofabaton U1 universal remote.
Step 6: Select the brand of the device from the drop-down list
When you enter the device type, a drop-down list will appear, showing all the available brands that are compatible with the Sofabaton U1 remote. Select your device’s brand from the list.
Next, point the remote at your device (make sure the device is turned ON) and follow the instructions provided in each step of the remote control app. The remote will check if each function is working correctly.
Step 7: Add device name and icon
After the steps, you can enter the device name and select an icon for your device. After adding the device, your device will get paired with the Sofabaton U1 universal remote control. You can then use the Sofabaton U1 universal remote with the device.

Add more devices: You can add up to 15 devices
Did you know? You can add up to 15 devices to the remote and control them all with a single device. The rolling wheel on the remote helps you switch between the devices. As you scroll, the device name will appear on the OLED display, indicating which device is selected and being controlled.
For example, if you select Firestick on the Sofabaton remote, the device name will appear on the OLED display, and the remote will be in control mode for Firestick.
That’s all for setting up the Sofabaton U1 universal remote. Similarly, you can pair the newly launched advanced Sofabaton X1 universal remote. The remote app will automatically search for and set the correct code for your device and model.
