Is there anyway i can use bluetooth or RF from sofabaton remotes with homey?

Im really looking for an ergonomic and robust solution to trigger flows as well to controll volumes and brightness of devices.

There is similar question at Sofabaton also. In short, they still have not published the local API for X1 remote.

[http://bbs.sofabaton.com/post/711](http://bbs.sofabaton.com/post/711)

And there is also a Homey community request for an app:

> [@\[Requests\] Homey Pro Community App Requests](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-community-app-requests/2713/635):
>
> What is the brand: Sofabaton X1 - Sofabaton X1 remote is universally compatible with virtually all brands of audio and video equipment. [https://www.sofabaton.com/X1.html](https://www.sofabaton.com/X1.html) This might be the one to replace eventually Harmony remotes. What is/are the device(s)/service for type: Universal remote control with a hub and doesnät rely on cloud to work. What kind of category/signal(s) would the app use: API on local network - However API is still pending The device can then control: Infra…

But I don’t see much happening until Sofabaton releases the local API, as it doesn’t make sense in using a cloud API for controlling local devices.

But they have integrated local API for the X1s remote!

Not really an API, than just some cloud base webhooks to trigger the activities. Still no Local API
