    Better Lighting Control and Energy Savings

    Savant home automation clients now have even better solutions for lighting control and energy management in their homes.

    This month, the global leader in smart home automation released Next Generation lighting control and energy management solutions. The new lighting and energy modules – designed with sister-company Racepoint Energy – offer one-of-a-kind functionality found nowhere else. They improve control and energy management, not only for lighting, but for other appliances throughout the home.

    As integrators, Jackson Hole A/V can connect large appliances, pool pumps, outlets, and other electrical loads to the new Savant modules. Energy consumption data for the entire home is available on the single Savant Pro App, giving you improved information and control of lighting, climate, and energy use. This innovation is especially useful to homeowners during peak energy usage, when you can see how much energy your home is consuming, and make instant adjustments with the app. Homeowners also have the ability to pre-program and allow the Savant system to make automatic adjustments to energy consumption. So even if you are not available to monitor and adjust your home’s energy use, your Savant system can handle it for you.

    “These innovative energy modules create a valuable opportunity for integrators to deliver far more than conventional lighting control,” said Savant CEO Bob Madonna in a statement released by the company. “Now there is a complete lighting and lighting control ecosystem available from Savant that includes shades, fixtures in partnership with USAI Lighting and a level of control capability and energy management unprecedented in the smart home market.”

    These new compact lighting and energy modules are easily installed in standard electrical panels, so there’s no need for the oversized, more expensive specialty panels.

    Savant, a global leader in smart home automation, employs cutting-edge Pro technology to manage a home’s climate, lighting, entertainment, and energy in a single application. The elegant, integrated platform unifies and simplifies your home and your life. The Savant app also allows home owners to monitor and adjust their home’s energy use from anywhere in the world, making changes as needed. The personalization of all systems in a Savant home takes it beyond a smart home to a truly integrated home experience that serves your family.
