For years, SES Design Group has worked with premium names in home automation like Savant to bring the best in luxury home automation to the Houston area. Recently Savant introduced a game-changing update for their "Smart" and "Pro" series which puts the power of programming in the hands of the homeowner for a revolutionary, premium control experience.  

The new Savant app, Single App Home© helps you control your lighting, security, entertainment and climate systems from one simple and easy-to-use interface. In the market for a single automation system to control your entire environment, including lighting, music, video, surveillance and more? In this blog entry, SES reviews the benefits of Savant's brand new interface and software and how the Single App Home can help you tailor your technology to the way you live.

Customized User Experience

With the new "Scenes" feature, Savant homeowners can create and "program" individual scenes instantly from the app. Imagine you've taken the time to create the perfect ambiance for your dinner party - from the lighting to the room temperature and even music playlists -  every detail of your environment is exactly how you pictured it. With the new Savant app, you simply press "Capture" and record the scene for future use. Users can even include a picture to represent their newly programmed scenes.  The new user-enabled control isn't limited to individual rooms either.  You can even schedule individual services for scheduled times, like warming up the entire house and bringing up the select lights as your household wakes up.

Simple Intuitive Interface

The Single App Home not only makes it easy to customize "Scenes" in a few easy steps, but provides an elegant while powerful interface for streamlined control. The App brings a complex set of options into a minimal interface that does not trade features for simplicity. The new home automation dashboard features a tile display of your actual rooms, complete with icons indicating the status of each system. While the "room view" interface is a product of the high level of personalization possible within the app, you can still select specific devices or functions. For instance you can easily select a video display source such as "Blu-Ray" and then direct it to play in the living room…while you’re still getting the groceries out of the car.

Increased Service & Total Availability

Another exciting update is the Savant app is now available beyond the Apple platform, operating on Android mobile devices as well. In addition, Savant is also extending the functionality of the Single App Home by extending automation to the cloud with a brand new service offering, Savant Plus.

With Savant Plus, the complexities of network configuration are handled by a secure cloud service, allowing you full remote access with minimal setup. You’ll also be able to configure push or email notifications for personalized real-time updates when something isn't quite right. Want a text when a door is opened and you’re away from home? Or an email when a room drops below your ideal temperature? With Savant Plus, configuring these alerts is easier than ever.

Fully customized to your needs, Savant makes systems like security, lighting and entertainment easy to use, saving you valuable time. Ready to enhance your lifestyle and amplify your comfort? Wherever you might be throughout the Houston area, SES Design Group is prepared to put the power of home control in your hands.
