Savant hosted their 14th annual dealer conference, the Savant Summit, in conjunction with the 2020 International Builders’ Show (IBS), January 20-23 in greater Las Vegas, NV. Savant CEO and founder Robert Madonna (pictured above) presented the keynote address and shared highlights of the company’s 2020 product roadmap as well as key new strategic partnerships. Attendees were treated to more than 20 live product demonstrations, breakout education seminars, and the opportunity to spend time at IBS learning about the latest in residential building technology.

Following Savant’s 2019 new product launches, which included 285 from Savant and more than 400 new partner products, the 2020 conference focused on continued innovation across all categories. Savant is focusing on emerging categories, including lighting, energy automation, and wireless high-resolution digital audio, plus enhanced partnerships across the entire Smart Home marketplace. New additions to Savant’s Partners in Excellence Program include an enhanced relationship with NETGEAR, Kohler’s Robern brand of premium vanities featuring tunable LED lighting, and full integration with Ring’s new X Line.

Savant’s Strategic Partnership with Ring X Line

Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff spoke to attendees at the Savant Summit, highlighting the brand’s first collaborative relationship in the custom integration channel, which includes Savant’s partnership integration with Ring. Together with the newly unveiled Ring X Line, this relationship is promised to deliver a unique experience to customers. Savant will deliver the Ring Video Doorbell experience within their smart home ecosystem, and integrators can expect to see Ring features such as a live view of Ring video, notifications and two-way audio later in 2020. Along with this product integration, Savant says they will be the first manufacturer to offer the newly announced Ring X Line of hardware for sale through the Savant Store. The Ring X Line will be available for purchase in March 2020, with features designed specifically for the CI channel. Initially, the Ring X line will consist of seven devices across the entry and camera categories.
