4 Upgrades That Will Boost Your Smart Home Experience

Every time a new smart device hits the shelves, our clients come to us asking if it’s the right fit for their existing home automation system. In many cases, these new devices are not compatible or don't meet our safety and efficiency standards. As our clients expand the scope of their smart homes, we usually recommend they stick to trusted brands.

Relying on the same company—like Savant Systems—for most of your home will result in an even more reliable solution. That’s why we’re so excited about some of the unique features the company has to offer. We outline some of them below, to help you figure out which are the best fit for your home in San Antonio, TX or the Texas Hill Country.

Entry Services

How would you like to have a direct connection to your front door, garage, side doors and gates at all times? Access control is a pivotal part of any smart home, which is why Savant System offers a variety of entry services. Now you can keep better track of who's coming and going with door stations that include HD cameras, video capture, night vision, and two-way communication.

Door stations link up directly with your Savant Pro app, so you can answer the door and open it remotely no matter where you are. Set alerts that let you know when motion sensors are activated, certain buttons are pressed, or if anyone tries to tamper with the door station.

Motorized Shades

Savant Shades offer a modern aesthetic and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your home automation system. They do not show any wires or motors, so they’re ideal for sleek installations. If you want to find the perfect match for both style and function, choose from hundreds of fabrics and a wide range of openness factors.

Using your app, manage the shades efficiently through simple taps or even voice commands. Enhance your lighting throughout the day by scheduling scenes that help shades match the position of the sun for optimal sunlight.

LED Lighting

TrueImage allows for an intuitive way to control LED lights throughout the house. After you select the lights you want to adjust, aim your camera at them. The lights will blink twice while the app captures the image. As you make changes to the image within the app, you'll see them happen in real time as well, helping you find and save the ideal configuration.

This past year, Savant also partnered with USAI lighting fixtures that offer additional tunable options. By having more color temperature variations available, you can boost your interior design and even regulate your circadian rhythm for better sleep.

Smart Thermostat

We can integrate NEST thermostats and other popular brands into our Savant home automation systems. But if you don’t have a preferred climate control product, we do recommend sticking with Savant’s line of thermostats. Their Multistat showcases inside and outside temperatures, weather forecasts, and even lets you access your smart scenes.

From the Multistat or your Savant app, adjust the temperature throughout the day or schedule changes according to your daily routine. The Multistat serves an additional function through integrated sensors that gauge temperature, humidity, and more to help you achieve the perfect climate at all times.
