Redefining Smart Living with Innovation and Elegance

If Apple Had A Home Automation System, It Would Be Savant

Many Apple ad campaigns have been memorable, but one stands out as establishing Apple’s image that has been carried forward to this day. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in the mid-1990s, he set out to get Apple back on track as a technology innovator.

Among many things, he completely revamped the company’s marketing message. Apple’s “Think Different” campaign featured photographs of innovators like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Pablo Picasso, implying that you would be just a little smarter and different if you bought an Apple computer.

If there’s a home automation company that “thinks different” about smart technology, it’s Savant. The company has always been known as an Apple-centric solution—from its software and remote designs to the Apple hardware it uses on its high-end controllers. If you love the Apple design, look, and feel, you’ll love Savant home automation in your Highland Park, IL, home.

Let’s take a closer look at three innovative features and technologies that sets Savant apart from other systems in the smart home space.

Interior Designers Use Lighting Control Systems to Add Beauty and Functionality

A growing number of luxury homeowners have different expectations than they did just a decade ago. As many of you know, today’s clients are looking for automated technology that enables them to control their homes with ease and enjoy the many conveniences home automation brings. 

One of these automated features is a lighting control system. Homeowners are looking to control their home’s lighting with just one tap on an in-wall keypad or touchscreen. Some expect their lighting to automatically transform throughout the day, correlating with the changing hue of natural daylight. 

Incorporating this type of technology while maintaining your design and aesthetics is where we come in. At Avidia, we partner with interior decorators in Glencoe, IL, and throughout the Chicagoland area. Our job is to ensure the technology exceeds your client’s expectations and is easy to control while adding to instead of detracting from your design. 

Let’s see how today’s lighting controls add beauty and functionality to your client’s homes.
