Why Automation Is a Must-Have for Your Home Theater System
Savant home automation lets you control the entire theater experience from a single interface
What’s most important to you in a dedicated home theater? While everyone may have a different response to this question, we bet that high-quality audio/video, easy access and management, and comfort top the list for many homeowners. We have some resources to help you design amazing sound and choose the best display for your Westchester, NY cinema.
If easy management and comfort are important to you, home automation is a must-have in your home theater system. Integrating all the components in your theater into a centralized operating system like Savant allows you to create and save customized settings and control the entire room from your seat.

Centralized Theater Control
With Savant automation, you can access and manage your entire theater room in one place — including audio/video systems, media sources, lighting, shading, and climate. Instead of running around to power up the projector, turn on the sound system, and turn off the lights, do it all from your seat using a smartphone, the Pro Remote X2, or a touchscreen device. Choosing your film or show is as easy as pulling up all your content sources on a smartphone or tablet — like streaming services, Blu-ray, cable, or a gaming system — and selecting the one you want with the press of a button.
Having to spend 15 minutes prepping your theater for a movie cuts into the time you’ve set aside to relax and enjoy your private cinema. Let automation do the prep work for you — all you need to do is sit back and be entertained.
Custom Scenes
Home theater control becomes even easier when you add scenes to the mix. Scenes allow you to group several actions under one command and activate a sequence of events with a single button press. For instance, a “Start Netflix” scene could roll down the projector, power up the surround sound system, pull up Netflix on the screen, and slowly dim the lights over the next five minutes. A “Game Day” scene could instantly establish the audio, video, lighting, and climate to the ideal settings for watching the big game. And a “Power Down” scene could shut down all the equipment, systems, and lights as you leave the theater room.
Whole-Home View
While you want to immerse yourself in a great film, you also want to know if anything happens around the house while you’re in the theater. When your home security is integrated with Savant, you never have to lose sight of what’s happening around you. During a film, you’ll receive notifications to your smartphone or tablet when a surveillance camera detects motion, a door is unlocked or opened, or the doorbell rings. You can even customize your system to pause the movie and project surveillance footage on the big screen if someone arrives at the front door.
A custom home theater system can bring unlimited joy and entertainment to your household. Let’s work together to build a dedicated cinema that surpasses all your expectations for the movie-watching experience.
