The Savant Universal Remote supports a menu of screens for controlling services throughout the home or workplace, and because it utilizes Wi-Fi connectivity, users can control devices without pointing or aiming — no direct line of sight is required like with regular IR remotes (though of course, problems with your wireless system means problems with the remote).
Features include:
- Full color 1.7-inch display accommodates custom buttons, text and graphics
- Bright, backlit keypad buttons
- Thirty-five assignable/programmable buttons with common navigation and transport buttons
- Two-way feedback from compatible devices using Wi-Fi and Savant Solutions
- Customizable and programmable
- Wide Wi-Fi transmission frequency range
- Field upgradeable firmware
- Customization via RacePoint Blueprint design tool
The Savant Universal Remote will become available next month. List price is $499, including charging dock.
