Home technology company Savant is enhancing its connected home experience with software updates adding voice command functionality and HomeKit compatibility to its Pro Remote and Smart Soundbar.

The Smart Soundbar is the first Savant product that directly controls HomeKit and Savant third party devices using Savant smart home software.

Combined with Savant’s current third party integration partners, it offers control of HomeKit compatible devices such as door locks, smart thermostats, light bulbs and more through simple voice command through Siri, HomePd and the native voice button Savant’s Pro Remote.

Using IP-based integration with Apple TV, Savant users can control media players with voice commands, using push-to-talk with the Pro Remote which can now operate through Siri.

This new functionality, which includes Apple HomeKit integration with hundreds of smart home devices, represents one of the most requested features for this product by Savant customers worldwide and is easily configured by Savant’s iPad-based Studio app and Blueprint Software.

Savant products are distributed in Australia by Avation.
