6. Energy Settings
Energy Settings become available in the Savant App Settings menu when an Energy Storage System has been installed (requires SavantOS 11.1.4 or higher). Users can adjust the Backup Reserve State of Charge for Eco mode or Storm Watch mode in Savant Power Storage systems, as well as Generator Start and Stop State of Charge for systems including both Power Storage and a generator. Tap to edit the set percentage or use the sliders to adjust settings as desired.
IMPORTANT!: Energy Settings are only relevant for homes with Savant Power Storage 20 or Savant Power Storage 50 systems.
| A | Eco Backup Reserve | The minimum State of Charge the battery will maintain while operating in Eco Mode. A higher value keeps more power in reserve for an outage while lower value allows more flexible useage of your battery for daily needs. |
| B | Storm Watch Backup Reserve |
When enabled, the system directs energy from all available power sources to the battery to keep it at or above the set State of Charge while on grid. A higher value ensures more power is available during a power outage. NOTE: During an outage, the battery can drop below this value. |
| C | Generator Start |
When off grid, the generator will start charging the battery once the start State of Charge is reached. NOTE: Setting the Generator Start State of Charge higher then the Battery Backup Reserve or Storm Watch value may result in the generator starting immediately during a power outage. To prevent this, increase the Generator Start value or decrease the Battery Backup Reserve/Storm Watch value. |
| D | Generator Stop | When off grid, the generator will stop charging the battery once the stop State of Charge is reached. |
7. Firmware Updates
Savant Device Updates become available under Settings in the Savant App when there are modules in the Home. Updates to modules require connection to the Homes Wi-Fi and need to be preloaded. This process can take up to 2 hours to complete. During this time, the user may still control circuits, view energy data, control the Home, or exit the Savant App.
- Select Savant Device Updates under settings in the Savant app.
- Available updates will begin preloading. This process can take between 1-2 hours.
NOTE: To update firmware on Gen1 Modules, contact a Savant Dealer. - The Savant App will notify the user when it is ready. Select Update Now to continue.
- Select Complete Update.
NOTE: The user’s device will need to be connected to the home’s Wi-Fi to complete update. - Select devices to update or Update All.
NOTE: Any modules connected to the home’s circuit will power off to complete the update.
