A simple, polished app for your whole home
Savant is a whole-home control platform known for a clean, simple app that brings lighting, audio, video, climate and security together in one place. It's popular in luxury homes and on yachts, where owners want a system that feels as polished as the home itself and works well with Apple devices. On its own site, Savant describes its systems as going 'from lighting to music to video in every room,' with energy management built in alongside the entertainment and comfort side.
One feature Savant highlights on its own site is power resilience: it says its homes 'have a backup plan when the power goes out,' tied into the system's energy management. Savant is sold and installed exclusively through its network of authorized dealers, and its lighting control is typically bundled into a full whole-home system rather than sold on its own; it's often paired with Lutron for the lighting hardware itself. Smart Estate Guide isn't a Savant dealer; we match you with an installer certified to work on it.
If you're also weighing an AI-driven platform, Josh.ai is another whole-home system sold through dealers, built around voice and automation. See our guide on whether Josh.ai is worth it for how it compares. Either way, the right platform depends on the size of your home, which brands your architect or builder already works with, and how hands-on you want the day-to-day controls to be.
What it usually includes

What it costs
One luxury installer's 2026 pricing guide puts Savant systems at $50,000 to $300,000 or more, describing it as the luxury standard for homes from about 3,000 to 20,000-plus square feet. Savant's lighting control is typically part of that whole-home cost rather than priced separately.

Built with power cuts in mind
Savant markets its systems around resilience, describing a built-in plan for when the power goes out rather than treating an outage as an afterthought. That pairs naturally with a monsoon season that brings dust storms and outages to Scottsdale most summers (National Weather Service), when a system that keeps working matters most.
One app for sun, shade and cool
Savant ties shades, climate and lighting into one system, which helps in a desert-contemporary home working to manage heat gain through walls of west- and south-facing glass. Instead of juggling separate apps for shades and air conditioning, one scene handles both, timed to the sun's position rather than a fixed clock.
Ready for the winter-resident routine
Savant's app lets you check on and adjust the home remotely, useful if you leave for the hottest months of the year and want the house cooled, lit and ready before you land back at Sky Harbor. It works the same whether you're checking in from across town or across the country.
Check any installer's license yourself
In Arizona, contractors must be licensed by the Registrar of Contractors (ROC), which issues separate residential and commercial license classes. Before you hire:
Common questions
Straight answers to what owners ask us most.
Is Savant a good fit for monsoon season?
It can be. Savant is known for building resilience into its systems, including a plan for when the power goes out, which is useful given how often Scottsdale summers bring dust storms and outages.
Do you sell or install Savant systems?
No. We match you with a Savant-certified installer in the Scottsdale area and are not a dealer ourselves, so our only interest is finding the right fit for your home. See how Savant compares to Control4 and Crestron.
Can Savant handle both the shades and the air conditioning in a desert home?
Yes, that's part of what it's built for: tying shades, climate and lighting together in one system to manage a home full of sun-facing glass, so the house responds to the sun automatically instead of waiting for someone to notice the heat.
Is Savant worth it?
For a large home where you want one polished app controlling everything, and a system that keeps working through a power outage, many owners find it worth the cost. One luxury installer's guide positions Savant as the luxury standard for homes from about 3,000 to 20,000-plus square feet, priced at $50,000 to $300,000 or more. A smaller home may not need it.
What's the difference between Savant and Control4?
Savant is known for a simpler, more polished app and is popular in luxury homes and on yachts, while Control4 offers a wider range of compatible devices and a larger network of dealers, often at a lower starting price. Both are certified, dealer-installed platforms; the better fit depends on your home's size and budget. See our Savant vs. Control4 guide for a full comparison.
