One Remote, Whole-Home Control: Inside the Savant Pro Remote X2

Many universal or smart home remotes are plastic, cluttered with buttons, and easy to lose in a couch cushion. The Savant Pro Remote X2 is built differently. 

It's machined from aluminum, weighted in the hand, and built with a level of detail that puts it closer to a piece of industrial design than a typical remote. Here’s why we love Savant’s Pro Remote X2 and recommend it to our clients across Long Island and New York City. 

It Changes Jobs Without You Noticing

The X2 Remote doesn’t do just one thing. Start a movie, and it behaves exactly like the remote you already know — volume, play, pause, done. But swipe across its built-in glass touchscreen, and that same device becomes the control center for your entire home. 

Close the shades. Adjust the climate. Pull up "Dinner Party" and watch the lighting shift to match. The backlit buttons and high-resolution screen work together so you're never guessing what you're pressing, even in a dim room.

Why One Remote Beats a Phone Full of Apps

A lot of homeowners assume their smartphone is enough to run a smart home. In practice, that means unlocking your phone, finding the right app, and waiting for it to load — every single time you want to dim a light. The X2 skips all of that. It's sitting right there, ready, and it doesn't ask you to step away from the moment to check a notification first. If you'd rather skip buttons altogether, the X2 also works with voice control, so a spoken command handles it just as easily.

The remote also remembers how you actually live:

• Save custom screen layouts for your most-used channels, playlists, and scenes
• Add PIN protection so a carefully set mood doesn't get undone by a curious guest
• Assign hard buttons to your most common scenes for instant, no-screen-needed access
• Charge it in its dedicated cradle, so it's always in the same spot when you reach for it
• Use Settings Mode to set sleep timers or switch between users in seconds

Smaller Footprint, Same Control

Compared to remotes from other popular automation brands, the X2 runs smaller and more minimalist. Savant designed it for the commands you reach for every day, not as a replacement for your tablet or phone. For deep system settings, you'll still turn to the Savant app. For everyday living (movies, music, lighting, temperature), the X2 handles it without a learning curve.

We work directly with homeowners to configure the X2 Remote around their actual routines, from custom button layouts to which scenes live one tap away. It's a small device, but it changes how your entire home responds to you.
