The Savant Remote Lets You Control Your Entire Home from One Gadget
Michael Hines — October 11, 2010 — Unique
The Savant Remote is the most ambitious and technologically advanced remote I have ever laid eyes upon. This remote is designed to control all of your home's functions with the touch of a button.
You can turn on the lights, change the channel and turn off the fan -- all from the Savant Remote. An iPod touch and FaceTime are also integrated into the Savant Remote. To top it all off, the Savant Remote can also send and receive phone calls.
I love the idea behind the Savant Remote, but I have one question: If you lose it, how will you answer calls and turn off the TV?
