Image-29-of-36-_20230802-205839_1

Control4 and Savant are two trusted and renowned brands in the home automation industry, as both brands continue to produce consistent and reliable systems that exceed expectations. While we would say that both brands provide excellent choices for either residential or commercial purposes, there are a number of differences between them that you might want to consider as a consumer. In today's blog, we'll be doing just that, as we compare Control4 and Savant to determine which system is right for you! If that sounds interesting, keep reading below for more information, or for home automation solutions in greater Boston, call our team at SDI today! Call (617) 391-8919 for our Boston location - we look forward to speaking with you!

User Friendliness

After all, it's you who is using the systems from each of these brands, so user experience - or better yet user friendliness - is an important aspect that you might want to consider as a consumer. Though we would say that both brands have are easy for most people to pick up and use, Control4 is known for being the more user friendly out of the two. Even if you don't consider yourself as someone who is well-versed with technology, Control4 makes it easy for you, family, and friends to control the technologies in your home, whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or another device. Overall, you can expect an effortless experience with Control4, though this is not to say, that Savant is particularly un-user friendly.

Ease of Installation

Generally speaking, both Control4 and Savant systems are easy to install in your home or business property. The key difference between the two is that Control4 systems are almost always installed professionally, whereas Savant systems can be installed both professionally and by consumers in many cases. Overall, and regardless of what system you choose to install, it is recommended that a professional and qualified team completes the installation, to ensure as little issues as possible.

Integration

Last but certainly not least is how well each system integrates the technologies in your home. For both Control4 and Savant, most of the technologies that you need to be integrated - are integrated. This includes your thermostats, lighting, audio systems, security systems, and more. One considerable difference here is that Control4 has more compatibility with third party devices, which may make it more favorable among some consumers.

Why Home Theaters & Sound Systems Are Great For Winter

20220107-170103shutterstock_555045271

Especially here in New England, where the winters can be long and rough, home is perhaps the best place to seek comfort during the colder months of the year. There are a number of pastimes fit for the winter season, such as baking treats, making hot cocoa, or just winding down with a warm blanket and a good book. In today's blog, we'll be exploring how home entertainment, namely home theaters and sound systems, can make your home an even better place to be during winter. If that sounds interesting, keep reading below for more information!

The Benefits of A Sound System

Even if you wouldn't consider yourself a fan of music - or other forms of audio entertainment for that matter - there's no doubt that a proper sound system can elevate the interior of any home. A sound system is truly versatile, it can keep you entertained in and of itself, but it can also provide pleasant background noise for special occasions or even casual family dinners. Do you plan on hosting a dinner party this winter? What about a casual dinner with friends or family? Consider a proper sound system to bring your music to life this winter!


Winter Is the Ultimate Binge-Watching Season!

Given that daylight is scarce and temperatures are cold, winter is arguably the best season to stay at home and indulge in all manner of binge-watching! Whether it's movies or tv shows, there's no question that a home theater will take your viewing experience to the next level. Even if you aren't much of a binge-watcher, home theaters can still do wonders for occasional movie nights, thanks to the stunning and alluring displays that they bring to the table. This is not to mention the major improvement in sound that home theatres can have!


Looking For Home Entertainment This Winter? Consider SDI!

Though we could talk on and on about the benefits of a home theater or home sound system, why not get one step closer to making it a reality? SDI has delivered excellent results in home automation, home theaters, home audio systems, and more to homeowners in the greater Boston area. Established in Needham, SDI is happy to work with homeowners in the area to help them reach their goals.

Treating Clients First

Wherever one of our projects is taking place, it's always a priority for us to consider the case-specific needs of our clients, which SDI's Angel Centeno spoke about in more-depth to CEPro: "When we look at a project, we think about how the family will use the system ... that is our design approach, we understand that not everyone wants a 100-inch TV or surround sound.”

Our team strives to work closely with our clients to assure that all of their practical needs are met, as was also reflected in the article:

"Angel like many within the custom electronics industry is a gear enthusiast, but his gear goals mirror SDI’s core philosophies. This means the products must deliver high levels of performance; the products must look good, and collectively the systems must be easy to use."

The Goal:

Our client wanted to incorporate fine architectural details into his new home, keeping interior design at a high standard, while incorporating a full high-end audio video system for the five-floor historic Beacon Hill house.

The Challenges:

Due to the ceiling height and the layout of the house, we had to design an audio video system in the family room that is not only of high quality, but also keeps aesthetics in mind.  In addition, the interior designer did not want the TV visible, so we installed a custom automated-motorized bracket that, with a remote, would being the screen in and out of a built-in. Keeping in mind the strong emphasis on interior design, the client still wanted a great-sounding subwoofer, so we installed two in-ceiling Artison subwoofers that have zero wall vibrations.  In addition, the client wanted to use a finfer as a front door key, which would also serve as an intercom system.  The look had to meet the Beacon Hill historical requirements.
