Take Advantage of Green Technology with Smart Energy from TOAD
Our intelligent control technology enables the homeowner to monitor and reduce energy consumption of smart home electronics, conserve resources, and save money— all without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Savant’s Smart Energy harnesses green technology and tailors your system to adjust usage based upon time of day, changing seasons, outside temperature, and any other triggering mechanisms to ensure that your smart home system’s energy usage is always at peak efficiency while quality of life and convenience are never compromised.
Green home automation is easy on energy:
- Set your intelligent lighting to automatically turn on and off with the rising and setting sun by timing them to an astronomical clock.
- Pre-set blinds to close, shutting out powerful sunlight and keeping the interior of your home cool while conserving energy.
- Reduce the demands on heating and cooling systems with climate control that regulates thermostat levels based on outside temperature.
- Press a “Lights Out” button to disable all intelligent lighting, making certain that no lights have been left on unnecessarily.
- Green home automation integrates with occupancy and motion sensors to dim or turn off lights when a room is unoccupied.
- Display power consumption levels to help you monitor energy use in your smart home system.
- Remotely monitor and manage all of the whole-house audio/video components and other smart home electronics with your iPad®, iPhone® or iPod touch® to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

Bringing outdoor entertainment to a new level of enjoyment, SunBriteTV, the pioneer of all-weather TV technology , introduces the new 4630HD, a 46-inch all-weather full high-definition LCD television. This new 1080p LCD all-weather TV is a lower cost alternative to the company’s other line of TVs designed for weather-proof installation.
The new 4630HD uses an ASA outdoor-rated plastic shell and built-in low-profile two-way speakers plus it is slimmer than its powder-coated, zinc-plated steel counterpart. It delivers the same all-weather feature set as the most popular 4610HD model but with a $700 savings. The 4000:1 contrast ratio LCD screen is protected by a anti-reflective, impact- and scratch-resistant window.
The TV’s baffled and filtered dual-fan airflow system quietly keeps the unit cool in temperatures up to 122 degrees F. In extremely cold climates, the internal thermostatically-controlled heater activates automatically when the TV’s internal temperature dips to 32 degrees F. The heater provides a 20 degree F. temperature rise, allowing the TV to safely remain outdoors in temperatures as low as -24 degrees F.
In addition to the Model 4630HD, SunbriteTV also offers other 23-inch, 32-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch TVs that are HD compatible and sport the equivalent environmental feature-set as model 4630HD. For more information, visit SunBriteTV at sunbritetv.com.
