Discover the True Meaning of a Connected Home

If you look up the meaning of a connected home, the most common definition is a home with internet-connected devices, enabling you to manage and monitor these systems remotely. But is that all?

At Home Theater of Long Island, we partner with Savant, a home automation platform and industry leader in luxury smart homes. With over 20 years in the business, we can confidently say that a connected home is so much more. It adjusts the lighting, shades, and climate to ensure the ideal atmosphere for every activity. Touch the color wheel on your smartphone to tune your lighting into every possible hue and intensity.

It sends a message when you leave a door unlocked and lets you know when a guest arrives. It streams high-fidelity music into every room and manages your home’s energy. It is so much more than a remotely controlled home! Here, we’ll explore some of the top features of a Savant home—keep reading.

Luxury Living & Home Entertainment

One of the features that defines luxury living is today's home entertainment. An awe-inspiring sound fills every room. Home theaters deliver Dolby Atmos surround sound and brilliant images in stunning detail. 

Savant plays an integral role in this. First, it’s designed to scale, managing nearly every property size, from bungalows to massive estates. Second, it utilizes Ethernet networks. Savant’s networked IP Audio provides exceptional sound and connects any source to any speaker, distributing high-quality audio over Ethernet networks. It can provide an immersive, lifelike audio experience of up to 96 rooms.

Savant’s IP Video delivers high-resolution video from any source to any display. Video Tiling lets you watch up to nine sources on one screen. Lossless audiovisuals encompass your entire property. 

Because your home entertainment is part of your smart home, you can manage it all from an intuitive app, touchscreen, or remote. 

Setting the Mood

Another element that defines today’s luxury living is personalization. No longer limited to the same lights for every occasion or running from room to room to create the ideal atmosphere, a Savant home does it for you. 

Tap the “Dinner Party” scene to stream the perfect playlist throughout your home and outdoor areas. At the same time, your shades open, framing stunning landscape lights while the climate adjusts, and the doors unlock to welcome your guests. 

Managing Your Home’s Energy

Savant Power is the ultimate smart energy management system that lets you take control of your home’s energy and lets your smart home manage it when you’re gone.  Effortlessly switch from the power grid to backup power from solar, generator, or battery sources. If a power outage occurs when you’re away, the system switches over for you and keeps the essentials running. 

You can use this alternative energy during peak usage rates or when you simply want to create a greener home. This same system lets you see what areas are using the most energy and manage it accordingly.

A connected home is about so much more than remotely managing your lights from anywhere! At Home Theater of Long Island, we’re excited to show you the possibilities.
