What can your Westchester home do for you to make your days easier?

The purpose of home automation is to make your home technology more accessible, more manageable, and more convenient to use. Automation redefines the way you interact with your home, and no feature illustrates that better than the ability to build custom, automated scenes with your smart devices.

Scenes simplify your daily tasks and home management routines. Keep reading to learn more about creating scenes with Savant home automation in your Westchester, NY home.

What Is a Scene?

Scenes are one of the most useful and convenient features in your Savant home. When all your technology is integrated with a single control system, you can program your different smart devices to communicate and work together. A scene groups multiple actions under one sequence. You can activate a scene by tapping a button on your smartphone, tablet, or keypad, or scheduling it to begin at a specific time of day. You can also program scenes to start based on a trigger event — like an outdoor lighting scene that starts at sunset.

6 Scenes That Simplify Your Lifestyle

Good Morning

A “Good Morning” scene can turn on lights, open the window shades to let in sunlight, turn up the temperature, and play the morning news on the TV. Schedule your morning scene to coincide with your alarm to get the day off to a smooth start.

Away

Mornings are hectic trying to get everyone to work and school on time. Build an “Away” scene to turn off all lights and electronics, shift the thermostat into energy-saving mode, arm the security alarm, and lock the doors. Use the Savant Pro app to activate this scene as you walk out the door or schedule it for a specific time on weekdays.

Coming Home

Program your house to welcome you back after a long day at work. A “Home” scene can turn on indoor and outdoor lights, start the HVAC system to cool the house, and start music playing in preparation for your arrival. Use the Savant Pro app to activate this scene when you’re leaving work or trigger it to begin by opening the garage door.

Vacation

Create a “Vacation” scene to make your home look occupied and deter burglars while you’re away. This scene can trigger lights, window shades, music, and the TV to operate at random times to give the appearance of occupancy.

Let’s Party

Entertaining doesn’t have to be stressful. Prepare a “Party” scene that instantly sets the ambiance with mood lighting and a curated playlist throughout the entire house.

Goodnight

End the day with a single button press on your smartphone or tablet. A “Goodnight” scene can turn off all lights and electronics, lower the temperature, activate the security alarm, and lock the doors. If you need time to wind down before sleep, program the bedside lamp to slowly dim and turn off over the next 30 minutes while you read or listen to music to relax.

How Do I Get Scenes in My Savant Home?

Your Savant home integrator can program custom scenes for your household. You can also create, edit, and delete scenes yourself using the Savant Pro app or the Pro Remote X2. For example, a “Fast Capture” scene saves the current settings in the room — it’s the most convenient way to create a new scene if you find a room setup you like. You can also tap the “Build New” icon to create, save, and schedule new scenes.

Every household member can build custom scenes on their personal accounts. When you make a scene on your account, you can choose to share it with the household or keep it private for your use only.
