What Is Savant Home Automation?
Savant is a luxury home automation platform that unifies every technology system in your home — lighting, climate, audio, video, security, and shading — into a single, beautifully designed control experience. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Massachusetts, Savant has become the platform of choice for discerning homeowners who expect technology to be as refined as their interiors.
Unlike consumer smart home products (Alexa, Google Home, Ring), Savant is a professionally designed and installed system built on dedicated processors with local processing. Your home automation works reliably regardless of internet connectivity, and every interaction — from the app to the keypads — is designed with an Apple-level attention to detail.

Our Savant Services
Design, Installation & Integration
Savant System Design
We begin every project with a detailed technology scope — mapping your rooms, lifestyle patterns, and aesthetic preferences to a Savant system architecture. Our designs specify processor locations, touch panel placements, network requirements, and integration points before a single cable is pulled.
Savant Installation & Programming
Our certified Savant programmers handle every aspect of installation — from rack building and cable termination to processor configuration, scene programming, and user interface customization. Every button, scene, and automation rule is tailored to how you actually live.
Savant Lighting Control
Savant's proprietary lighting products — including Metropolitan keypads, nano dimmers, and tunable white fixtures — deliver the most refined lighting control experience available. We design lighting scenes that shift throughout the day, protect artwork with UV-controlled dimming, and create dramatic ambiance on demand.

Savant's AV control is unmatched in elegance. One touch dims the lights, lowers the shades, powers the projector, and queues your content. We integrate Savant with Sony and JVC projectors, premium speaker systems, and acoustic environments for a true cinematic experience.

Savant's distributed audio system delivers music to every room with independent volume, source selection, and grouping. From architectural ceiling speakers to outdoor landscape audio, Savant makes multi-zone audio feel effortless through its intuitive app and touch panels.
Savant Smart Home Control
Beyond individual subsystems, Savant unifies everything — lighting, climate, shading, security, audio, and video — into a single control experience. The Savant Pro app, touch panels, and voice control (via Siri) give you command over every system from anywhere in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions About Savant
What is Savant home automation?
Savant is a luxury home automation platform that unifies lighting, climate, audio/video, security, and shading into a single elegant interface. Designed with an Apple-like philosophy of simplicity and beauty, Savant is the preferred platform for high-end residential estates. It includes proprietary lighting fixtures, touch panels, and a best-in-class mobile app.
How much does a Savant system cost?
Savant systems typically start around $50,000 for a focused installation in a 3,000 sq ft home and scale to $300,000+ for comprehensive estate automation in 10,000+ sq ft residences. The cost depends on the number of rooms, subsystems integrated (lighting, audio, shading, security), and the level of customization. See our detailed Savant cost guide for tier-by-tier pricing.
Is Savant better than Control4 or Crestron?
Savant, Control4, and Crestron each serve different priorities. Savant excels in user experience, design aesthetics, and Apple ecosystem integration — making it the top choice for luxury homes where daily interaction quality matters. Control4 offers broader device compatibility at a lower price. As authorized dealers for both, we recommend Savant for most luxury residential projects.
Do I need a Savant dealer for installation?
Yes. Savant requires professional installation through an authorized dealer. The system's processors, touch panels, and lighting products are only available through the dealer network. This ensures proper design, programming, and ongoing support — which is critical for a system that controls your entire home.
Can Savant integrate with my existing equipment?
Savant integrates with hundreds of third-party devices including Lutron shading, Sonance and JBL speakers, Sony and JVC projectors, commercial security cameras, climate systems, and more. If you have existing high-quality equipment, much of it can likely be incorporated into a Savant system.
How long does a Savant installation take?
Timeline depends on scope and whether it's new construction or retrofit. A typical installation in an existing 4,000–6,000 sq ft home takes 4–8 weeks from design to completion. New construction projects integrate into the building timeline across pre-wire, trim, and programming phases over 3–6 months.
