Tips From The Top

We have smart home devices to make our lives easier, right?

But with so many different smart home devices and brands, remembering which app raises the blinds and which one raises the temperature can make home life even more confusing and frustrating. Using a different app for every device can create more chaos and confusion than not having the device at all. 

Ideally, hubs are designed to connect to a home’s router and allow smart home products to communicate, uniting them in a single app. But smart home hubs can complicate things even further; the many hubs available today vary in the devices and connectivity protocols they support, and no hub can unite every device. And since new devices and technology are being introduced every day, the hub you choose today may not support the devices you add next week. 

Fortunately, integration companies such as Savant make it easy for smart home owners to unite their home automation systems. Savant integrates the entire system, putting it under one user-friendly app, similar but more effective than any hub on the market today. The Savant Pro App allows you to see your whole home at a glace and use easy access controls to change the environment. Real-time notifications let you know exactly what’s happening in your home, as it’s happening – like the lights in the front hallway are on, or your kids are home from school. Tapping a pre-set scene (like “Movie Night” or “Family Dinner”) sets the lights, music, and other features to fit the mood. If you’re on your way home, you can adjust the temperature and lighting from any location to make sure your home is just as you want when you arrive. All environmental controls are at your fingertips, 24/7, no matter where you are.
