1 Important Information
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING
- The hole beside the power button on top side of the remote is a port for the built-in microphone and NOT a reset button. DO NOT insert
any objects in this hole or damage to the remote could occur.
- The remote’s base is simply a charging station. Place the remote into its base to charge the battery whenever the battery level gets low.
- The remote is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
- The remote communicates with the Savant Pro System over Wi-Fi® (802.11 b/g/n - 2.4GHz/5.0GHz). See Appendix A: Network
Requirements.
- Supports WPA and WPA2 security protocols.
- The remote does not have to be within line of sight of a device to control it.
- The remote is a multi-room remote. If the remote can communicate with the local Wi-Fi, it can control any device from any room/zone.
- The Remote receives software updates over the air (OTA). See the Remote Software Updates (OTA) section below.
- The Savant Pro System that the remote is associated with must have a user that is registered with the Savant cloud. If there is no
registered user, the remote will default back to a local Savant User and will have limited functionality.
- The maximum number of remotes allowed in a system depends on the number of rooms supported by the Host. Ideally, a user can add a
remote into every room in a Savant Pro System.

8 Software Updates (OTA)
Section 6 below describes the software update process.
8.1 Criteria for Download
The Pro Remote Multi-Room can receive software updates only if the following criteria is met:
- The remote must be communicating with a Savant Pro System.
- A user must be signed in on the remote and that user must be registered with the Savant cloud.
- The Remote must have at least 50% charge left on its rechargeable battery.
- The Host determines there is an updated version of software on the Savant cloud than what is running on the Remote.
If the criteria are met, the update process begins. To update, there are two pieces:
1. Software gets downloaded to remote.
2. Software gets installed onto remote.
8.2 Overview of Download and Install Process
1. To begin the process, one of the following needs to be achieved
to initiate a software update:
a. A new version of software for the remote is loaded onto the
Savant cloud. During normal operation, the Host determines the
updated version of software is available from the Savant cloud
and initiates the download.
b. The da Vinci runtime software on the Host is updated. The da
Vinci update now points to a newer version of remote software
on the Savant Cloud and the software download to the remote is
then started.
c. A new remote is added to the system and the version of
software on the remote differs from the version of software on
the Savant cloud and a download to the remote is started.
With the download process to the remote started, the process can
be viewed using the System Status page of System Monitor.
HELPFUL! The complete remote download, install, and reboot
process takes about 5-10 minutes depending on network speeds.
See Appendix B: System Monitor section below for more
information.

8.3 Download and Install Remote Software
The download of the remote software was started by one of the methods described in section 7.2 above. Follow the instructions below to install
the software onto the remote.
1. At any time during the download of software to the remote,
navigate to the About page ( > About) and select the RESUME
UPDATE/UPDATE AVAILABLE button. Pressing this button opens
a DOWNLOADING screen and tells the remote to install the
software immediately after the download is complete.
2. Once the software is downloaded onto the remote, the remote
automatically installs the updated software. See image below.
3. Once installed, the remote will reboot and finish the software
install.
4. When finished, navigate to the ABOUT page ( > About).
5. The updated software (Version:) is listed on the ABOUT page
Additional Information:
- The RESUME UPDATE button indicates there is software currently downloading or the software has already downloaded and is staged on the
remote. Pressing the RESUME UPDATE button ensures the following:
• If the software is downloaded on the remote, pressing the RESUME UPDATE button starts the installation process -OR-
• If the software is downloading, pressing the RESUME UPDATE button during the download ensures the software install process starts once
the download process ends.
- If the RESUME UPDATE button is NOT pressed during or after the software download, the remote automatically initiates the installation of the
software at 2:00 AM the next morning.
- The complete remote download, install, and reboot process takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the speed of the network.

Appendix A: Network Requirements
Savant requires the use of business class/commercial grade network equipment throughout the network to ensure the reliability of communication between
devices. These higher quality components also allow for more accurate troubleshooting when needed.
Connect all Savant devices to the same local area network (LAN) or subnet as the Host. Savant recommends not implementing any type of traffic or packet
shaping in your network topology for the Savant devices as this may interfere with performance.
Network Configuration
To ensure that the IP Address will not change due to a power outage, a static IP Address such as DHCP reservation should be configured. Savant recommends
using DHCP reservation within the router. By using this method, static IP Addresses for all devices can be managed from a single UI avoiding the need to
access devices individually.
Setting DHCP reservation varies from router to router. Refer to the documentation for the router to configure DHCP reservation.
Network Changes
The Pro Remote Multi Room requires resetting network credentials after moving to a new network, changing routers, or if the IP Address range is changed in
the current router.
Reset Wi-Fi Credentials
Follow the instructions in section 7.1 Reset Wi-Fi to reset the Wi-Fi credentials on the remote.
