Savant or Control4: which is right for your home?
Control4 is the most widely installed home automation platform, with a large dealer network and a broad range of compatible devices. Savant is a premium platform designed around a refined app and whole-home power management. For larger, design-led homes, Elevated Integration recommends Savant.
| Feature | Savant | Control4 |
|---|---|---|
| Typical home | Large, design-led residences | Homes of every size |
| Everyday control | One app across phone, tablet and TV, plus keypads | App, touch screens, remotes and keypads |

What both do well
Both run lighting, shades, climate, music, video and access from one system, work with Lutron lighting and shades, and offer remote access. Both depend on a skilled dealer for a good result.
Where Savant pulls ahead
Savant's app is the same polished experience on every screen, and owners can edit their own scenes. Savant Power adds circuit-level monitoring and battery control, which matters more as homes add solar and backup power.
Where Control4 fits
Control4 suits homes that need support for a very wide range of devices, or projects where a lower starting cost matters most.
