21 SAVANT APP, HOST, AND LAMP CONTROL USER GUIDE
Configuring Your Savant Remote to Communicate with Other Devices
The Savant Remote communicates with your entertainment devices through infrared
communications (IR), the same wireless technology used by most remote controls to send signals
to TVs and other devices. For IR signals to work, they need an unobstructed line of sight between
the sender and the receiver. To improve the signal strength of IR communications, your Savant
Remote Base contains six IR emitters, which allow it to send IR signals up to thirty feet in all
directions.
If you have devices that are hidden in cabinets, positioned in other rooms, or blocked in any way
from a direct line of sight of the Remote Base, you will need to set up Savant Blasters, one in direct
line of sight with each blocked device or group of devices that you want to control. Each Blaster
communicates with the Remote Base over Bluetooth, enabling the Remote to send signals even
without a direct line of sight.
When you issue a command to a hidden device with the Remote, the Remote Base relays the
command over Bluetooth to the Blaster that is paired with the device. The Blaster, with its clear line
of sight to the device, transmits the command over IR. This sequence—from Remote to Remote
Base to Blaster to device—occurs quickly, giving you near real-time control over devices hidden in
cabinets or blocked by other types of obstacles.
To maintain a reliable signal over Bluetooth, all Blasters should be positioned within 30 feet of the
Remote Base.
