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

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.
