Explore the Latest Innovative Smart Home Features

As Alan Kay said, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” And that sums up the Savant system. Savant is the go-to home automation platform for luxury homes in Rye, NY, and worldwide. 

One of the reasons for their popularity is that, from day one, they have been the industry innovators. It started with an award-winning app, the first smart home company to embrace mobile technology. As an early adopter, they realized the benefits homeowners would experience if they could manage their homes on their smartphones from anywhere in the world. 

One of the company’s first headlines was when the late Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, controlled his super luxury yacht from the Savant app. Back then, it was a system designed for the wealthiest of the wealthiest. Today, it’s gone mainstream, appealing to a larger population due to its ease of use, elegant design, and innovative features.

Here, we’ll explore a few of those features and how they’re transforming homes and those who live in them.

Best-in-Class Lighting Control

In 2020, Savant acquired GE Lighting, a company at the forefront of lighting innovation for over 120 years. One of the first companies to integrate LED bulbs and voice-embedded lamps, together they’ve developed premium brands in the lighting and smart home industry. 

In partnership with USAI Lighting, they developed Daylight Mode. Using your home’s precise geo-coordinates, it aligns the color and intensity of natural light with your home’s interior lights. This lighting supports your circadian rhythm, the body’s natural 24-hour cycle that informs it when to remain active, rest, and sleep. This alignment supports a healthy sleep-wake cycle and well-being.

This partnership also developed numerous state-of-the-art LED fixtures, which can change to millions of colors by spinning a wheel to the desired hue.

Savant Video Tiling

Savant IP video with advanced video tiling offers the highest quality 4K UHD while enabling you to watch up to nine sources on one screen. These sources may include the cable box, Blu-ray player, Roku, Apple TV, and more.

Integrating this technology into a Savant scene lets you manage the video, lighting, and climate with one touch. For instance, press “Game Day,” and the lights transform to the color of your favorite sports team, the motorized shades lower, and every TV in your home pulls up the game. Your whole-home audio emerges through in-ceiling speakers, bringing crystal-clear sound. 

Savant Power

Savant Power is the industry-leading energy management solution. Renewable energy, produced from the sun, is stored in batteries. Using the Savant App, you can select which energy powers your home at any time of day or during peak usage rates. Should a power outage occur, your smart home immediately transitions to solar or stored energy, converting the power to critical loads. You’ll receive an alert when the power goes out and when it’s restored.
