Shownotes:
Savant and one of my favorite designers, Thom Filicia teamed up to create an amazing showroom in New York. The HVAC system, security system, computer network, lighting and entertainment system are all connected. Everything can be controlled from various touch screen controllers installed around the house. There are controllers in the walls, controllers accessible from any TV or projector in the apartment, and like we talked about on the Brief before, there’s an iPhone app that makes it possible to control everything with an iPhone or iPod Touch.
From anywhere in the apartment, you can pull up content from connected iPods, Apple TVs, cable boxes, blu-ray players, and DirecTV. Even the grand piano is connected. You can be in bed and send a command to the Piano to play a song for you. You can be in the home theater and play a movie stored on an iPod docked in the bedroom.
Thanks to Tom Filicia for taking the time to do this interview, and to Savant for showing us around!

How funny, the first thing I noticed was Cali’s lovely dress too. :)
The Savant Home Automation System sounds fabulous! Would it level my WoW character for me while I’m sleeping? :)
