About
Savant is a premium smart home automation platform built for homeowners who demand complete control, energy independence, and a seamlessly connected living environment. Unlike basic smart home systems, Savant integrates every aspect of your home — lighting, climate, music, video — into a unified ecosystem managed through the clean, intuitive Savant app. At the core of Savant's differentiation is its advanced energy management solution. The Savant Power System installs directly into any standard breaker panel, enabling circuit-by-circuit monitoring and control. Homeowners can proactively offset peak utility costs, optimize consumption, and — critically — continue living normally even when the power grid goes down. Savant homes are designed to have a backup plan built in. Savant also offers a complete music experience, aggregating your favorite streaming services into a single personalized dashboard with cross-service search, delivering the right audio in every room. GE Lighting, a Savant Company, further extends whole-home ambiance control. Savant is sold and installed exclusively through an authorized dealer network, making it ideal for luxury new construction, high-end renovations, and discerning homeowners seeking both premium automation and energy resilience. The platform serves residential consumers as well as professional integrators and electrical distributors, with dedicated support channels for each audience.
