Tips From The Top

Home automation leader Savant is leading the way toward better health and wellness with its new Daylight Mode Functionality.

In a partnership with architectural lighting manufacturer USAI Lighting, Savant has recently introduced its lighting control functionality “Daylight Mode” which aligns pre-set lighting schemes to match your body’s natural circadian progression throughout the day. This feature can be personalized to fit your individual lifestyle and any changes in circumstances.

Savant’s home automation platform brings the best of smart home technology to its clients, giving them the ease and comfort of programming their home according to their own individual needs. So it shouldn’t be surprising that Daylight Mode is just as effortless and intuitive to use, as wellness becomes a fundamental component of the Savant intelligent home. Daylight Mode relies on the Savant App’s suggestions for a circadian curve based on data about time-of-day settings for color temperature and lighting intensity, which adjust and change as the day progresses. Besides scientific data, other factors like geography, time zone, and season all influence the lighting transformations.

These scientific defaults suggest a baseline, to which clients can then make specific chances to personalize their lighting, adjusting timing, intensity, and color temperature to best fit their unique lifestyle. With the Savant App, you can turn Daylight Mode off and on in certain rooms, and also override the settings for spontaneous lighting changes.

Advanced tunable white LED lighting and WRGB fixtures with dynamic color temperature capabilities best suit Daylight Mode. USAI Lighting offers recessed fixtures with the company’s innovative Color Select and Infinite Color+ technology. Daylight Mode also supports non-dynamic fixtures, and works by dimming the intensity of each fixture in sync with the tunable LED lighting.

Preset scenes have long been a favorite feature of the Savant home automation system, as clients can designate lighting schemes to match mood and activity. “Family Dinner” has one pre-set lighting mode; “End of Evening” has another. These preset scenes are now enhanced by Daylight Mode settings. So when you recall a pre-set bedroom lighting scene at 7 a.m., the lighting will come on with the intensity and color temperature aligned with the specific time of day. The same lighting scene activated at 8 p.m. will bring up lighting settings in accordance with the evening hours. So even with your pre-set Savant Scenes, the lighting is still suited to maintain circadian rhythm, and thus greater wellbeing.

At Jackson Hole A/V, we’re thrilled with this new development, as it enables us to better enhance the health and wellbeing of our clients with significant and seamless home automation options.
