High-end homeowners have come to expect that their homes come with smart technology that adds unparalleled convenience to their lifestyle. They want lighting, security, audio-video, shades, and more, easily controlled with the push of a button. Builders are now installing systems from leading home automation companies like Savant to meet these demands from discerning homeowners. Savant Systems have become a leading technology platform embraced by builders in Los Angeles, CA, because they offer homeowners several distinct ways to manage their technology.

Savant App

The most common way to control a Savant system is from the homeowner’s smart device of choice. Open the user-friendly Savant app on a smartphone or tablet and access smart technology at home or on the go. Homeowners can check whether the HVAC system is in energy-saving mode, turn lights off remotely, and unlock the door when the kids get home from school — all from the office.

Savant Pro Remote

Savant Pro Remotes blend the classic feel of tactile buttons with a sleek touch screen for fluid control of the home’s devices. Clients can choose from various modern colors and customize the screen to easily access their most-used devices and apps. It’s simple to adjust the settings as their needs change, and with the tap of a button they have access to smart locks, motorized shades, AV devices, climate control systems, and more.

Voice Control

One of the most sought-after technology features for luxury homeowners is voice control. When coming home with an armful of groceries, they want an easy way to turn on the lights without putting anything down — instead, they can simply use a spoken command. Savant works with popular voice control systems, including Amazon Alexa, Josh.ai, Siri, and Google Home. Say “Alexa, turn on the Welcome Home scene,” and the lights turn on, the air conditioner leaves energy-saving mode, and the shades open.

Metropolitan Keypad

Savant touch screens can be mounted on the wall or propped on a stand on an end table or counter, putting the intuitive interface of the Savant app in a more accessible location. A sensor wakes the screen when someone approaches, displaying every room of the home. From there, homeowners can choose a playlist for a whole-home audio system, turn on the air conditioner, dim the lights, or change the channel.

If you’re designing or building a project where clients expect this level of intuitive control, it’s worth bringing in a Savant-certified integrator early to plan the interfaces, wiring, and scenes around how the home will actually be used.
