How the Savant Pro Remote Enhances the Smart Home Experience

Few families would benefit from a smart home automation solution that offers just one control option. It may be convenient to have access to everything on your smartphone, but having only a mobile app available can be limiting. Different devices may make more sense depending on your activity or the technology you’re using.

Many clients want to upgrade their traditional control options as well—like switches on the wall or TV remotes. The Savant Systems Pro Remote is a perfect example of a smart home upgrade to a traditional device that families have come to love. Read on to learn how your Ft. Lauderdale, FL home could benefit from using one:

Easy Access to Your Favorite Entertainment

Though the Savant Pro Remote can also manage lights and climate, it’s primarily there to get the most out of your entertainment systems. It lets you manage your wireless speakers, satellite TV, home theater receiver, and more all from the same place. The touchscreen features your favorite channels and services, so it's easy for you access them with a simple tap.

Create the Perfect Environment with Scenes

From your remote touchscreen, you can also access pre-set scenes. These let you manage multiple components simultaneously to create the perfect environment to listen to your favorite playlist or watch the Heat game. At the press of a button, the whole room transforms to the right settings for the activity you have in mind. For example, an “Entertain” scene turns up the lights, lowers the thermostat, and begins playing your designated party playlist as you prepare to host friends.

Control the Room Via Voice Commands

With the popularity of Amazon Alexa, voice control is the talk of the town when it comes to smart home management. Savant Systems was in the vanguard in this regard when they incorporated voice control into their Pro Remote. Through a conveniently placed voice command button at the center of the device, you can turn off the lights, change the channel or lower the temperature.

A Remote for the Entire Family

One of the coolest things about the Pro Remote is that it can be customized to give easy access to the systems, channels, and scenes you use most often. So how does this work in large families where everyone has different preferences? You can create individual profiles. Each family member gets their own profile, with children only having access to channels and systems approved by the parents. For example, you can make it so your children’s profile does not have access to any smart security features.

While your dedicated touchpad or smartphone is an excellent way to manage your technology, sometimes you just want to sit back on the couch with a remote and some popcorn. Contact Campbell Audio Video to incorporate the latest Savant Pro Remote into your smart home.
