Savant for a second home

Checking in from anywhere is simple. You can see the cameras, confirm the doors are locked and look at the temperature from your phone.

An arrival scene can turn up the heat, open the shades and turn on the porch lights before you get to the house.

Alerts from connected thermostats and sensors can tell you if the house gets too cold while it's empty.

An away scene sets back the thermostats, closes the shades and turns everything off with one tap when you leave.

Weather and the coast

Salt air and storms are part of owning a house on the water. We plan where the equipment lives in the house and choose outdoor speakers and TVs that are made for exterior use. A reliable network matters just as much, because Savant only works where the Wi-Fi reaches. Our home Wi-Fi and networking services cover that part.

Big properties

Waterfront lots tend to be long, and the house is often not the only building. A guest house, a pool area and a porch all need coverage for the app and the music to work there. We design the network for the whole property and connect every building to the same Savant system.

Daily use

Savant is just as useful when you're in residence. A morning scene can open the shades on the water side, turn on music in the kitchen and bring the heat up in the rooms you use first. At night, one tap on the bedside keypad turns off every light in the house and locks the doors. Guests can use a simple remote in the media room without learning the app.

What Savant controls

Savant runs lighting and shades (often Lutron), whole-home music, TVs and media rooms, climate, cameras, door locks and the alarm. Each person in the house can have their own profile with favorite rooms and scenes. Our home automation services page covers the full range.

Savant projects

Across the bay from Jamestown, our oceanfront project in Narragansett runs Savant together with Lutron HomeWorks lighting, Palladiom shades, Sony OLED TVs, James Loudspeaker soundbars and an enterprise-grade network. It received a CE Pro Home of the Year Award, and its Lutron work led to our 2024 Lutron Hall of Fame induction.

We've also completed an award-winning Savant home in Boston. That client keeps the address private, so we don't publish photos or the location.

Where we work

Can I manage my Rhode Island house from home with Savant?

What should a smart home system in a second home include?

Start with climate control, cameras, door locks and lighting schedules, all reachable from your phone. Add a network that covers the whole property so everything stays online. We'll suggest the rest based on how you use the house.

Does Savant work with Lutron shades on big windows?

Yes, our Narragansett project uses Savant with Lutron HomeWorks lighting and Palladiom shades. Savant runs the scenes, and Lutron handles the shade motors and keypads.
