Savant has announced today the introduction of the Savant Multi-STAT, a touch screen multipurpose thermostat as part of the Savant Climate solution. The Savant Multi-STAT claims to be a completely new approach to the residential thermostat, elegantly and discreetly placing control and automation functionality alongside climate settings in easy reach throughout the home.

The Multi-STAT provides homeowners with convenient access to Savant Scenes with a finger swipe of the color touch screen, giving them instant access to numerous automation events in conjunction with climate control such as lighting, entertainment and others. The Multi-STAT’s user interface is identical to the premium glass touch screen found in Savant’s award-winning Pro Remote and will deliver easy and intuitive access to the smart home functionality that simplifies daily life. For added convenience, all of the Multi-STAT’s features can be accessed remotely via mobile devices using the Savant Pro 8 App.

The Savant Multi-STAT is compatible with both standard and heat pump-based HVAC systems and can be locally connected to both 10K and 1-wire bus sensors. The Savant Multi-STAT is configurable for either Fahrenheit or Celsius, and can be connected to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor temperature sensors, slab sensors and humidity sensors. Users can take advantage of Savant’s HVAC scheduler as well as climate related notifications to their mobile device, tailoring all of these settings to best suit their lifestyle. The Savant Multi-STAT can be deployed stand alone or in combination with the Savant Climate platform to provide up to 48 zones of expansion.

The Savant Multi-STAT is expected to ship starting Q4, 2017 for $520. Here are the details.
