User reviews

App works great

App works great and the setup is pretty straight forward. No idea why their avg rating is so low, but maybe previous versions didnโ€™t work as well? No idea but the current version (as of July 2026) is 5 stars.

Buggy software hampers experience

I followed the instructions that were provided in the instructions manual. The remote would not connect to the hub. Instead was placed into an infinite loop of installing the firmware. I had to remove the remote in the app, restart the application, for the remote to be recognized. The English translation is also lacking to say the least. For example, the common practice for users to acknowledge a successful installation is to click a button that says OK. Instead, the button says sure. Are you asking am I โ€œsureโ€ this installed successfully. Not a good first impression. The remote now works at least.

Nice

Thereโ€™s a manual? Who needs a manual. This remote works great on my Apple TV 4K. The only thing it doesnโ€™t do is voice dictation with Siri, at least I canโ€™t figure out how to do that.

Does'nt worth it

The app for these remotes is pretty bad, and last update made it even worst,can't even connect to the hub

Commandes IP enfin possibles !

Grace au nouveau modรจle X2 j'ai pu enfin piloter toute ma domotique Fibaro (รฉclairage avec variateurs , climatisation, ...). Pour contourner des limites du protocole j'ai publiรฉ un article sur Elektor Labs.
