Technology Collaborations That Enhance the Smart Home Experience

When smart tech manufacturers work together, end-users benefit from improved capabilities and functionalities

When it comes to smart technology, sharing is caring. Manufacturers sharing knowledge and innovative ideas with other manufacturers, that is. Smart home systems like smart lighting, shading, security, AV, and others are designed to make homes easier to manage and more enjoyable to use. For example, wouldn’t you rather tap a button on your phone to turn off all the lights in the house instead of walking around flipping each switch individually?

And when manufacturers partner up to create innovative integrations between different products and systems, homeowners benefit even more. Smart integrations have the power to unlock more functionalities and capabilities from smart home systems, along with higher system utilization and user satisfaction from homeowners.

Lutron + Josh.ai

One of the most exciting collaborative products to hit the market this year is the Josh.ai Ready Wallplate from Lutron and Josh.ai. Lutron and Josh.ai offer best-in-class products in their industries: lighting and shading control systems and voice control systems, respectively. Their partnership provides homeowners with a whole new world of possibilities for smart home control.

The Josh.ai Ready Wallplate combines an elegant Lutron keypad and tactile buttons with the Josh Nano voice control device. Lutron’s tactile buttons are perfect for one-touch activation of favorite scenes and settings, while Josh’s voice control is the simplest, hands-free option for controlling everything in the house — from lighting and shading to home entertainment systems and security. 

Because of this incredible partnership, homeowners can take complete control over their home environment from a single keypad. 

Savant

Savant has long been a leading name in home automation. A Savant smart home system integrates all your home technology under a single operating platform, allowing you to access and control your AV, lighting, climate, shading, security, outdoor entertainment, and more via a touchscreen tablet, remote, or the Savant mobile app. Over the past few years, Savant has formed several partnerships with other big names in the tech industry.

• Apple TV. The Savant Home app for Apple TV allows homeowners to access their entire smart home directly from an Apple TV. For example, adjust the temperature, lower the shades, pull up surveillance cameras, or activate a scene, all from the TV screen. 

• Ring doorbell. Savant Security service now supports the Ring X-Line products. The Ring X-Line is an all-in-one home security package that includes a video doorbell or security plan, protection plan, and warranty. With Savant control and embedded Ring video, homeowners can enjoy enhanced security, more convenience, and peace of mind. 

• Voice assistants. Savant natively supports Alexa and Google voice assistants to make whole-home voice control simple. Once Savant is integrated with a voice assistant, homeowners can use Alexa or Google commands to control connected devices around the house.

Like Lutron with Josh.ai, Savant’s integrations with other manufacturers make smart home control easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable for homeowners.
