Savant

• Cost: From $10,000 and up

Savant Systems is an Apple based home automation system with options for remote control access over audio, video, media and more. Savant stands out as the only home automation system that is built using the Apple operating system platform. The company boasts of a good system response, a customizable iOS interface and more as a result of an Apple product communicating with an Apple built system.

Savant Systems provides a completely customizable home automation option. The system can also be expanded for home control upgrades and changes over time. Owning an Apple iPad, iPod or iPhone are necessary to control the Savant System and a limitation for those that don't currently user or want to use an Apple device.

Savant's home automation system can take control of just about any electronic device in the house. Some examples they provide include:

• Pressing the "Home" button on your Apple product, when they arrive, will allow a home owner to turn off the security system, activate a pattern of lights that have been pre-programmed into the system, adjust the thermostat and turn on whole-house audio to listen to your favorite music.
• With a Savant home automation system the home owner has the choice to not only set a wake up alarm but open shades, turn on lights, start the coffee maker and more.
• When leaving the house, Savant provides an "Away" button to automatically adjust lighting as preferred by the home owner, adjust the temperature, close the electric blinds or shades, and turn on the security system.

All Savant products are sold through authorized dealers that provide assistance planning, installing and servicing the system for years to come. Savant is sold across the globe and the professionalism and friendliness of the customer service experience is based on each location you encounter.

Savant is generally not a home automation system for the budget minded. The cost of the entire product and installation is dependent on what features you choose and how large of a home you want to outfit. It's reported that most customers spend at least $10 to $15 thousand and many spend much more depending on several factors. Also, the security system is separate from Savant's product line and an added expense.

If you love your Apple products and have the luxury of a big wallet, Savant provides a savvy, responsive and customizable home automation system with some nice features. But, for those that don't want to be strapped to an Apple device and aren't one to constantly keep electronics on person, Savant may be less of a good fit.
