About Savant

Savant is a smart home and building automation platform that coordinates lighting, climate, music and video through a single app and control hardware. The company also offers Savant Power, an energy management system meant to keep a home running when the grid is down.

The energy products use modules that fit into a standard breaker panel, monitoring and controlling each circuit individually, and automation software that helps offset peak utility costs. A newer music experience combines streaming services with a personalized dashboard and cross-service search. Savant also owns the GE Lighting brand under license.

Savant is a commercial product sold through dealers and distributors, with consumer support and professional resources on the vendor's site. Pricing is not listed in the available input, and it is not an open-source or self-hosted software project.
