Live Effortlessly with Smart Home Control

Manage Your Home with One Touch

Do you ever think about the mundane daily tasks we automatically do? They've become such a part of our routine that we barely notice them. When we enter a room, we flip a switch to turn the lights on. When we leave for the day, we ensure the lights and TVs are off and adjust the thermostat. 

When the sun shines on our computer screen, we rise from our chair to lower the shades and then open them at the end of the day to enjoy another beautiful sunset in Palm Beach, FL. We settle in to watch a movie with our family, only to realize we’re missing the remote. And so it goes. 

Smart home control simplifies these daily tasks and much more. Press an elegant keypad or tap an icon on a touchscreen, and you can manage all the systems in your home. Check the touchscreen to see what lights or AV equipment are on, and then turn them off with one touch. Tap the "Dinner" button, and the lights in the dining room turn the color of firelight while your “Dining by Candlelight” playlist streams through your home.

A smart home redefines the true essence of luxury living. Let's explore some of the features transforming our clients' lives.

Savant Systems, a leader in luxury home integration, will change the way you enjoy your home. Control the lights, climate, entertainment, and security with ease.  Whether you’re new to the world of smart homes, an old pro, or somewhere in between, ACS can design and install a system that fits your lifestyle, personal taste, and your pocketbook.  Read on to learn more about experiencing your New York home in a completely different way.

Direct Your Home from Your Favorite Seat
Savant recently announced the launch of its newest product, the Savant Remote that promises a smart home setup in minutes. The slick home integration system is not only wonderfully simple, but it’s significantly less costly. It’s a hub, a high-resolution touchscreen remote, and a control device for a lamp, all of which communicate over WiFi. The remote works via Bluetooth so there’s no need to point it in any particular direction. Its capabilities are somewhat limited, focusing on entertainment and lighting. However, there are some standout features that make the system shine. They include the ability to work the remote using voice control, a mobile app that gives you all the same features as the remote, and the ability to create scenes so you can easily turn on the TV to a specific channel and dim the lights at the press of a button. The system works with Sonos, Roku, and most modern televisions. Savant plans to add more devices like shades, locks, and connected light bulbs.

Arrange Everything in Your Home Just the Way You Like It
If you desire a whole-home system customized for the way you live, Savant Pro offers a more expansive array of features, functions, and solutions to meet your every need. A single app offers unparalleled convenience to control lights, climate, entertainment, and security from an intuitive interface. Schedule outdoor lights to turn on just before you arrive home from work or save energy by setting the system to turn off lights in empty rooms. Use your Apple Watch to adjust the thermostat remotely so you'll be comfortable when you get home; schedule shades to close in the middle of the day to increase energy efficiency, plus keep an eye on your vacation home with alerts about extreme cold or humidity.

Entertain with ease and gain peace of mind
Whether you’re dining with friends or spending time with family, Savant is one touch away. Steam HD video from Netflix, Apple TV, or Hulu and watch up to nine things at once on the big screen using the TrueControl App. Rest easy with Savant home security solutions, whether you are home or away. Easily create different settings for a “lived-in” look to keep your home safe when you are gone. Tap the “Away” scene to effortlessly close the shades, lock the doors, and arm the alarm. Savant Pro also delivers solutions for even the most unique homes, with controls for amenities such as pools and home theaters.

Always Stay In The Shade

If you have a stationary umbrella shade, you’ve had to deal with inconsistent protection from sunlight. The sun is moving throughout the day, and if your shade doesn’t move with it, there are always going to be exposed areas. An adjustable umbrella shade can help, but manual models can be so hard to use that you end up not taking advantage of this extra feature.

The Sunflower solves this problem by moving automatically with the sun, opening up in the morning and tracking the sun until it sets. If there are high winds or other inclement weather, the shade will automatically close so you don't have to worry about the device being damaged.

Everyone Wants to Add Convenience to Daily Living

The concept of a smart home has been around for over half a century. Before the turn of the century, there were many iterations and predictions about the “home of the future” in TV shows like The Jetsons and movies like Disney’s The Smart House. But now that smart homes have become commonplace, we can say that not every pop culture prediction was correct.

Now, smart home control gives homeowners in New York and beyond a simple solution to a sophisticated series of connected devices. One tap, and your home will respond! Keep reading below to see what a day in the life looks like in a smart home.

The Power of Early Collaboration: 6 Reasons Why Builders Should Partner with ACS from the Start

ACS-Hidden-Screen-NYC

ACS, the leader in residential and commercial AV, home theater, lighting control, shading control, IT, and smart home integration, has a longstanding reputation for delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of each project. For builders, bringing ACS on board early in the process offers a strategic advantage that can significantly elevate the quality, efficiency, and success of their projects

Great Working Experience

"It was a pleasure working with ACS. To be quite honest (as I always am…) working with ACS was the best experience working with any AV/Home Integration company in my entire tenure here at Hobbs. "

- Jerry Cobaugh, Hobbs Inc.

House in the Hamptons

"In today’s world, with frequent technology changes and the need or desire to integrate a number of functions, I loved working with ACS because they made the time to explain the options, price them appropriately, install them right, educate us to the proper use and follow-up as needed."

- Bob Hurst

Individualized Systems

"I more than whole-heartedly endorse Audio Command Systems and its technicians and especially Michael Pittman without whose invaluable design suggestions our system would not be as individualized and easily operable as it is. The entire installation experience and subsequent enjoyment was and is immeasurable.

- Marc Desiderio
