5. Blueprint Configuration
Service Configuration
By default, the SUR-0500 will see all services available within the system. The remote can be configured
to hide services in particular rooms from appearing on the remote.
NOTE:
Before performing these steps, review the Supported Services list to determine if the service is available
or if the use is limited.
5. Create the Blueprint configurations adding all sources, switches, controllers, hosts, end points, and
control UIs. Do not add the SUR-0500.
6. Configure any customization to devices such as lighting and HVAC.
7. Generate services for the configuration.
8. Select the room the SUR-0500 will be used in the Services For drop-down menu.
9. Uncheck the Show column for any services that are not to be controlled by the SUR-0500.
NOTE:
Any service that is unchecked in the show column will not appear on the SUR-0500 or iOS devices for
that zone.
IMPORTANT!
If the Show column is unchecked on all services, a blank screen will appear on the remote.
10. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining rooms in the configuration.
Custom Workflows
Custom workflows can be used by the SUR-0500 and must be under General Programmable Service
Requests for each zone that will use the workflow.
Example: A workflow created in the Kitchen will not be available to the Living Room unless it is also listed
under General Programmable Service Requests in the Living Room.

Enabling Custom Workflows
1. Create a custom workflow for the configuration under General Programmable Service Requests for
a zone.
2. Repeat step 1 for all zones where the workflow will be available.
3. Generate services for the configuration.
4. Open the Custom Workflow Usage window:
Tools > Review > Custom Workflow Usage
5. Check the box in the UI column to use the workflow on the SUR-0500.
6. Repeat step 5 for the remaining workflows and click Done to save the changes.
HVAC Zone Functionality
HVAC functions (Heat, Cool, etc.) can be configured for control within each zone.
1. Add the HVAC component to the Blueprint configuration.
2. Generate services for the configuration.
3. Select the HVAC component in the configuration and open the Inspector:
View > Show Inspector
4. Open the data table by clicking the Show Data Table button at the bottom of the Inspector window.
5. Check the box under each function for the zone.
NOTE: All the boxes under each function that can be selected must be checked.
6. Repeat step 5 for the remaining zones and click Done to save the changes.

6. Initial Setup
Once a configuration has been uploaded to the Savant Host, the SUR-0500 will locate any host on the
same network running da Vinci 5.2.2 or higher. While this is an automatic process, some setup is required
to allow the SUR-0500 to connect to a host.
1. Connect to Wi-Fi Network
IMPORTANT!
The SUR-0500 must be connected to the same network as the Savant Host.
A. Power on the SUR-0500 by pressing and holding the
Power button for 6 seconds or more until the Savant
Logo appears.
B. Splash screens will appear for 90 seconds or more
and then display a list of available Wi-Fi networks
Press the Center or Right bottom button to navigate
the list of available Wi-Fi networks. If the network
name does not appear in the list, select Other
Network at the bottom of the list. See Enter the
Network password.
NOTE: In order to connect to an enterprise network,
navigate to Other Networks in the list.
C. Press the Left or Right side button next to the
desired network.
D. If the selected network is unprotected, skip to step 3
.
2. Enter the Network password
A. Press the Lower Left or Lower Right side buttons
until the desired character appears above the center
pointer.
B. Press the Top Left side button to capitalize the
character.
C. Press the Center bottom button to save the character
and move to the next blank.
