Home Automation Gig Harbor | AVA Cinema Remote & Control4

Gig Harbor homeowners expect elegance, simplicity, and seamless performance — and today’s home automation systems deliver all three.
From lighting and shading to multiroom audio, home theaters, and security, modern living demands technology that feels intuitive.

At Rivas Technology Group, we’re redefining home automation in Gig Harbor by integrating Control4’s powerful automation platform with the AVA Cinema Remote — an innovative, Android-based controller designed for speed, design, and flexibility through HTTP command integration.

The AVA Cinema Remote isn’t just a remote — it’s an advanced control interface built for modern automation.

Unlike traditional remotes that rely on proprietary protocols, the AVA Remote leverages HTTP commands to communicate with your automation system.

This allows installers and integrators to customize control behaviors, send trigger requests, and bridge systems that traditionally don’t talk to each other.

When used with Control4, this approach enables installers to trigger Control4 scenes, lighting presets, AV macros, and automation events through HTTP commands — all while keeping latency extremely low.

Key Advantages

⚙️ HTTP-based integration: Send direct HTTP requests to Control4’s driver or network interface for custom scene triggers.
🎬 Seamless control flexibility: Program shortcuts or on-screen buttons for lighting, shading, AV, or climate commands.
🌐 Cross-platform compatibility: Integrate Control4 with third-party gear like AV receivers, projectors, or media players through standardized web protocols.
🔋 Installer-grade customization: Built on Android OS, allowing professionals to design fully branded, app-based control experiences.

Note: The AVA Cinema Remote does not establish a native IP session with Control4. Instead, it uses HTTP-based command communication for flexible, customizable integration.

Control4 + AVA = The Smart Living Standard

Control4 remains the foundation of luxury home automation — coordinating lighting, audio, video, climate, and security under one unified ecosystem.

When paired with the AVA Cinema Remote, homeowners gain a beautiful, responsive handheld interface that executes commands through HTTP control pathways.

For example:

Tap “Movie Night” on the AVA Remote → HTTP command executes → Control4 runs your theater scene: lights dim, shades lower, projector powers on, and AV routes automatically.

It’s modern, intuitive, and perfectly suited to Gig Harbor’s blend of design and performance-focused homes.
