One System. Every Room. Perfectly Controlled.
Control4 is the professional smart home platform trusted by integrators and homeowners worldwide. Lighting, climate, security, AV, shades, and networking — all designed around how you actually live, controlled from a single interface.

Not All Control4 Dealers Are the Same
Control4 authorizes dealers at three tiers. The tier determines the programming tools a dealer can access, the support they receive, and how complex a system they can build.
| Authorized (Basic) | Silver | Gold — That’s Us | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Programming tools | Standard | Expanded | Full toolset |
| System complexity | Limited | Moderate | Unlimited |
| Driver & integration access | None advanced | Some | Advanced + dealer-exclusive |
| Control4 support | Standard SLA | Priority queue | Highest priority + early access |
The Professional Standard in Smart Home Control
Control4 is not a consumer smart home platform. It's a professional-grade automation system designed for installation by certified dealers — people who design the system, program every interaction, and stand behind it long after the project is done.
Where Amazon Alexa connects devices in an app, Control4 integrates them at the system level. Your lights know when your security system arms. Your thermostat knows when everyone leaves. Your AV system knows when it's movie night. None of this requires you to tap an app — it happens because we designed the rules that govern how your home behaves. Control4 is what makes the difference between a smart home and a home that's just connected.
Every System in Your Home, Working as One
Control4 integrates with over 14,000 third-party devices. Here's what a typical Rivas Technology Group installation includes.
Lighting Control
Whole-home dimming, scene control, and circadian schedules. Keypads replace light switches with programmable scene buttons — one tap sets the entire house.
Climate
Ecobee Premium thermostats with occupancy learning run within Control4 automations — pre-conditioning rooms based on who's home and what time it is.
Security & Surveillance
Ajax security panels, LUMA cameras, and Akuvox intercoms integrate natively. Arm, view, and answer the door — same app as your lights.
Home Theater & Audio
Matrix switching, zone audio, projector screens, and streaming — "Movie Night" dims the lights, drops the screen, and starts the content.
Motorized Shades
PowerShades on time-of-day schedules, occupancy triggers, and scenes. Shades close when the TV turns on; they open at sunrise.
Networking
Ruckus and Alta Labs access points, managed switches, and structured wiring form the backbone every system depends on — designed and managed by us.
The Platform That Makes AI Work Across Your Whole Home
AI capabilities are built into specific devices — cameras that classify objects, thermostats that learn occupancy, security hubs that detect anomalies. On their own, each is useful. Connected through Control4, they become a system that genuinely adapts to your life.
Camera AI Triggers Automations
Ajax detects a person at the gate after dark — Control4 turns on the driveway lights, sends the camera feed to the kitchen touch panel, and announces the arrival.
Occupancy Learning Drives Comfort
Ecobee learns your patterns; Control4 acts on them across the whole house — climate, lighting, and shades adjusting together, not per-device.

Control4 Smart Home FAQs
Yes. Most systems we integrate with Control4 — Ajax security, Ecobee climate, LUMA cameras — are wireless and require no new wiring. We can add significant capability to a finished home without opening walls. Where wiring is required (lighting keypads, structured networking), we discuss options and tradeoffs upfront.
Consumer platforms like Alexa connect devices through the cloud and rely on manual app control. Control4 integrates systems at a hardware level, operates locally (no cloud dependency), and is programmed with automation logic tailored to your home. It also works reliably when your internet is down — consumer platforms don't.
Entry-level Control4 systems (lighting control + AV + networking) typically start in the $15,000–$25,000 range for a 2,500–3,500 sq ft home. Full integrations with security, climate, shades, and whole-home audio range from $35,000–$80,000+. Our online estimator gives you a ballpark in three minutes without a sales call.
A typical residential Control4 installation takes 3–7 days on-site depending on scope, with network and rack work happening first. New construction timelines are longer because we're involved across multiple phases. We provide a clear project schedule before work begins.
Every installation comes with a 90-day workmanship warranty. After that window, support, programming changes, and service calls are billed at our standard rates. We stand behind our work and are available for ongoing support.
We serve the Greater South Sound including Kent, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Auburn, Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Federal Way, Renton, University Place, Covington, Sumner, and Tehaleh. We also take select projects in greater King and Pierce County.
