The luxury smart home features of Savant are available with Alexa voice control. Now you can activate a Savant Scene, turn rooms on or off, or adjust lights.
A Savant system running 8.4 software is needed to work with this skill. The system also needs to be linked to a Savant user account. Please speak with your Savant Authorized Integrator for more details.
Getting Started Go to the Alexa app and enable the Savant Skill, enter your Savant username and password of an admin for the home. If you have more than one Savant Home a list of homes will be provided to choose from.
Discovering Devices The next step is to "Discover Devices" which can be done through the Alexa app or by speaking to the Alexa device "Alexa Discover Devices". This takes about 20 seconds. For the Savant Home the following devices will be returned:
Scenes - All scenes that are associated with that user or are global, that do not have any unlock or disarm functionality. Scenes are able to be turned on by saying "Alexa, turn on <Scene Name>"
Rooms - All Rooms can be turned on or turned off. For example "Alexa, turn on Family Room" will turn the family room on to its last active AV service and "Turn Off Family Room" will turn off any AV services in the Family Room.
Room Lights - Each Room that has lighting control in it will be returned with the Room Name and the word "Lights" after it. These devices respond to On, Off, Set, Increase and Decrease commands.
Here are a few examples: "Alexa, turn on the Kitchen Lights" - all the lights configured in the Kitchen will be set to 100%. "Alexa, turn off the Kitchen Lights" - all the lights configured in the Kitchen will be turned off "Alexa, set the Kitchen Lights to 40%" - all the lights configured in the Kitchen will be set to 40% "Alexa, brighten the Kitchen Lights" - all the lights configured in the kitchen will be increased by 25% "Alexa, dim the Kitchen Lights" - all the lights configured in the kitchen will be decreased by 25%
