The Future of Living in Bonney Lake and Tehaleh Is Smart, Connected, and Effortless

Bonney Lake and Tehaleh have quickly become two of the South Sound’s most desirable places to live — beautiful homes, thriving neighborhoods, and forward-thinking homeowners who expect their spaces to work for them.


That’s where home automation comes in.

Whether your home is in Bonney Lake, Tehaleh, or anywhere in the South Sound, this guide will show you what’s possible when the right technology, design, and expertise come together.

A Smart Home Starts With the Right Control System

Every great smart home starts with a control platform — the system that ties everything together.


We offer the leading platforms in the industry, including:

  • Control4 – full home automation and the Halo Remote
  • Josh.ai – natural voice control
  • Tyba Turn2 & Muse – elegant room control and audio streaming
  • Rithum – simple lighting, climate, and audio control
  • AVA – premium touchscreens and remotes


Whether you’re building in Tehaleh or upgrading your Bonney Lake home, these systems bring your entire home together into one beautiful, seamless experience.
