Home automation has been my business for years, but things have gotten even easier with Savant’s new app for the “One App Home.” Many of you have already made the change to Savant, so this is a simple upgrade coming November 10th.  For those of you ready for some new technology, Savant offers the latest in true affordable home automation. That term has been used for years but you still had to press a button to turn on the TV, turn off the lights, and lower the shades. Doesn’t sound very automated right?

Do you hate running around your home closing the blinds, turning off the lights, TV’s, and music before heading out to the soccer game? Relax! I’ve got you covered. A single press on the way out the door kills the lights, lowers the shades, closes the skylights if there’s rain in the forecast, arms your security system, and turns off TVs, music, and fireplaces.

When you return home, a simple press on your phone lights a welcoming path from your garage to the kitchen, warms the place up, and fires up your favorite music. No more coming home to a deserted home.

Home automation has been capable of creating preset configurations for lighting, thermostats, music, tv, and security control for a long time, but at great expense and inconvenience.  With Savant’s One App Home, homeowners only have to do this once.  The app lets you capture your favorite scene, label it, and save it…you can even add a photo to the label. No more phone calls for programming changes!

The possibilities for you to have complete control of the automation in your home are endless and available now.  I could write about the them forever, but I hope you will take two (2) minutes to watch this video, One App Home.

As always, feel free to call with questions, new ideas, or comments.
