Savant has announced the availability of a new line of direct to consumer products, starting with the entertainment-focused Savant Remote.
The Savant Remote combines the convenience of a universal remote with the power of home automation, simplifying the entertainment experience by letting consumers control devices, such as cable boxes, Apple TV, Sonos, Roku, and lighting, from a single device.
Savant says that by bringing the company’s experience and premium products to a broader market it is offering consumers an introduction to the elevated smart home experience for a fraction of the price.
“For over 10 years, through our Savant Pro product line and elite Pro Integrators, we’ve given the world’s most discerning homeowners the ability to have everything in their homes just the way they like it. With our new, more affordable Savant product line, we’re bringing the award-winning Savant experience to everyone,” said William Lynch, CEO of Savant. “We’ve designed our products to be easy for anyone to setup and use, work with the technology you already own, and grow with your needs. As we add new services beyond entertainment and lighting, people will be able to enjoy their home in even more ways.”
Designed in collaboration with San Francisco design studio Ammunition, led by industrial designer Robert Brunner, the Savant Remote, which includes voice control, controls more than 380,000 of today’s most popular entertainment devices, as well as lighting. The Remote also provides personalized profiles so friends and family can access their own favorite channels or Scenes with a tap or voice command.
The Savant App pairs with the Remote and makes it easy to control scenes,
services, and settings from anywhere. It also features Savant Instant setup, a guide that quickly walks consumers through the setup process —helping them connect their entertainment devices without needing to know model types and numbers.
The Remote is available as a part of a $499 entertainment package that also
includes the Savant Host and Blaster. The Host enables wireless communication among devices, while the Blaster lets homeowners control devices in closed cabinets and outside the line of sight of the Remote. Savant Lamp Controllers are sold separately for $99 each.
