Savant has announced it’s shipping its Wi-Fi-based Universal Remote. The unit features a new user interface and a 1.7-inch colour display.
Customisation is via the RacePoint Blueprint design software tool and Savant say the WiFi Remote offers “a sleek design and sophisticated functionality at an affordable price”…
This sleek new $399 solution has been designed for the modern media room, providing intuitive control of an entire audio/video system along with connected devices such as distributed audio, lighting, climate control and other features within a residential or commercial setting.

The new universal remote from Savant expands the brand’s presence in the growing connected home marketplace with a versatile and affordable Wi-Fi-based solution that is ideal for full- featured, value-oriented control packages.
