When a Savant system stops controlling televisions, audio, lighting or other essential functions, Sentry Audio Video can diagnose the complete environment. We provide Savant service, programming, takeovers and upgrade planning throughout South Florida.
Savant Service for Systems Installed by Another Dealer
You do not need to have used Sentry for the original installation. We help homeowners who purchased a property with Savant, lost contact with the original dealer or need a more responsive service relationship. The first visit focuses on documenting the system, understanding the current problems and deciding whether repair, reprogramming or modernization is the best path.
Savant Problems We Diagnose
- Rooms or sources missing from the Savant app
- Remotes that disconnect, respond slowly or control the wrong device
- Televisions, streaming devices or audio zones that no longer start correctly
- Savant host, controller, network or account-connection problems
- Scenes, schedules, favorites or user profiles that need correction
- Lighting, shade, climate, security or gate integrations that stopped working
- Problems following router, television, cable-box or streaming-device replacement
- Outdated racks, unsupported components or systems that need an upgrade plan
Bought a Home With Savant?
An inherited Savant system may include undocumented equipment changes, old network settings and personalized programming from the prior owner. Sentry identifies the host, remotes, controllers, rack equipment, network dependencies and integrated systems. We can then stabilize important functions, organize the app for the new family and recommend changes in clear phases.
Programming Changes and System Expansion
Not every service request requires replacement. Homeowners may need new favorites, improved room layouts, additional music zones, updated television control or better scenes. We can reprogram the Savant experience, add compatible equipment and coordinate new integrations when the existing system architecture supports them.
Network and Rack Troubleshooting
Many automation problems originate in the network, power protection or equipment rack. We inspect addressing, switching, Wi-Fi, ventilation, cable management and device condition rather than treating every symptom as a Savant software failure. Correcting the infrastructure can improve the entire home’s performance.
Savant Upgrades and Modernization
Aging hosts, remotes, streaming devices, displays and distribution equipment may eventually limit reliability or features. Sentry evaluates what remains serviceable, what can be upgraded in stages and what should be replaced together. The goal is to avoid unnecessary demolition while creating a system that can be supported going forward.
App, Account and Remote Support
Changes in ownership, phones, accounts or networks can affect access to the Savant experience. We help verify account relationships, app access, room assignments and remote behavior within the scope available to the system. When manufacturer or cloud support is required, we help identify the correct next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you service a Savant system without the original dealer?
Often, yes. Available project access and the system’s condition affect what can be changed, so we begin with an assessment.
Should an older Savant system be replaced completely?
Not automatically. We identify working components, compatibility limits and reliability risks before recommending a phased or complete upgrade.
Can you fix Savant after a router or television change?
Often, yes. Replacement devices can change network addresses, control methods and input behavior. We inspect the affected equipment and update the programming where supported.
