You’ve probably heard about the many features provided by Savant home automation systems in Los Angeles, CA and the surrounding areas. One of the most popular points is the programmed one-tap scenes that control your home’s electrical devices, creating a set ambiance with just one touch.
When you’re heading outside at the end of a long day, tap “Relax” on your smartphone and watch as your pool lights fade up, the backyard music starts streaming, and the landscape lighting begins twinkling through the trees. When it’s time for bed, tab “Bedtime,” and the lights dim, the thermostat lowers, the home alarm arms, and the electronics power off.
While all of these details help create an easily managed home, when Savant partnered with Racepoint Energy System, something even more remarkable occurred—the ability to take control and proactively manage your home’s energy. This partnership has morphed into ownership and renamed Savant Power, helping reshape energy consumption and reliability, despite California’s buckling energy grid.

In 2020, California experienced its first rolling blackouts in almost two decades. From fires to extreme heat, the power supply was either damaged or overused. The situation became so bad that three Los Angeles-area gas plants were given the okay to produce more electricity than federal pollution permits allowed.
More than 115,000 homes and businesses lost electricity in Los Angeles alone, and 172,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers in Northern California lost power when it was shut off to reduce the risk of fires. Whether we blame public utilities, retired power plants, global warming, or lack of funds going into clean-energy alternatives, it’s clear that these electrical imbalances will only be increasing.
Fortunately, technology has provided us with the ability to take control and proactively and cost-effectively manage the energy in your home, including solar and energy backup. By integrating Savant’s Racepoint System with Sonnen’s ecoLinx energy storage system, you no longer have to endure variations in your electrical supply. Here’s how it works.
The fully integrated solution seamlessly manages energy usage, increasing energy efficiency and independence. In addition, by storing excess energy created by the sun, users can deploy it when they need it, whether during a power outage, peak periods, or cloudy days.
Energy Breaker-Companion Modules fit into standard electrical panels and provide utility-grade monitoring, reporting, and data usage. This microgrid technology provides homeowners with energy independence by managing all electrical loads, including lighting, climate, and any connected device. The user or pre-set conditions determine which devices are needed based on onsite energy capacity, pricing, or consumption.
As the leading luxury home automation company, Savant’s Pro App is recognized for its best user experience in all areas, including monitoring energy consumption and production. From the app, users can set the system to pre-defined modes that can be activated by one touch or adjust automatically based on current conditions.
