Kent's Smart Home
Integration Specialists.
Rivas Technology Group is located in Kent, Washington. We're not driving down from Seattle or up from Tacoma — we're your neighbors. Control4 Gold Dealer, Ajax Systems Certified, and the only integration company in the Green River Valley with our full stack of credentials. When something needs attention, we're already close.
Kent Is Where We Work. And Where We Live.
Most technology integrators serving the South Sound are based in Seattle, Bellevue, or Tacoma — and they treat Kent as a market to cover, not a community to serve. Rivas Technology Group is different. We're headquartered here, our team lives in the area, and Kent homeowners and businesses are our primary clients — not an afterthought.
That proximity matters more than people realize. When you're planning a new build on East Hill and need a site visit to map cable routes, we're there the same week — not scheduling three weeks out. When your Control4 system needs a firmware update or a scene adjustment, we can be on-site within hours, not days.
We know Kent's housing stock — the established neighborhoods along the Kent-Kangley corridor, the newer construction in Meridian and East Hill, the mid-century homes near downtown that need clean wireless solutions. We've worked in all of it. That local knowledge translates directly into smarter system design.
We hold a Washington State Electrical Contractor License (RIVASGL799DR), so all low-voltage and electrical work we perform in your Kent home is fully licensed, inspectable, and compliant. No gray areas, no liability questions.

Smart home integration isn't a one-time transaction. Systems get updated, scenes get adjusted, hardware occasionally needs service. Who your integrator is after the install matters as much as the install itself.
National dealers and large Seattle firms take on Kent projects, but their technicians are often subcontractors and their response times reflect that priority. When something needs attention three months after install, you find out quickly how local they actually are.
Rivas Technology Group built its reputation on what happens after installation. We answer the phone. We respond to service requests. We come back. That's not marketing — it's how a small, locally accountable company has to operate to survive in a market built on referrals.
Every member of our team is a full-time Rivas Technology Group employee. No subcontractors. The same people who design your system, pull your cables, and program your Control4 controller are the people who pick up when you call.
⚡ Same-Week Response in Kent
Site visits, consultations, and service calls typically scheduled within the same week for Kent addresses — no waiting in a regional service queue.
🔧 No Subcontractors
Every person on your project is a full-time Rivas Technology Group team member. The same team who installs your system is the team who supports it.
📋 Transparent Menu Pricing
Every service has a published scope and rate. No surprise invoices, no hardware markups. You know what you're paying before we start — and it doesn't change.
🏅 Gold-Level Credentials
Control4 Gold is the advanced certification tier. It means we handle complex multi-room, multi-system deployments that basic dealers aren't qualified for.
Every Corner of the City
We've installed systems throughout Kent's neighborhoods — from established mid-century homes near downtown to new construction on East Hill.

Kent's largest residential area — new construction developments, established single-family homes, and multi-story builds ideal for whole-home Control4 integration.
Meridian
Rapidly growing corridor along the 104th Ave SE area with newer construction well-suited for pre-wire smart home infrastructure during build.
Downtown Kent
Historic district with mid-century residential and commercial properties — wireless-first design for homes and businesses where minimal disruption is essential.

Established neighborhoods along the Kent-Kangley Road corridor — smart home retrofits and security upgrades for long-term homeowners looking to modernize.

Smart Home FAQ for Kent Homeowners
We are headquartered in Kent, Washington. Our team lives and works in the Green River Valley. We're not a Seattle or Tacoma firm adding Kent to a service area map — Kent is home base. That means faster response times, local site visits without scheduling delays, and a team with real investment in the community.
We install Control4 whole-home automation, Ajax Systems wireless security, smart lighting (Control4, Lutron Caséta, Lutron RA3, and PoE), enterprise WiFi and structured networking, motorized shades (Clara, PowerShades, Lutron), home theater and multi-room audio, and Akuvox intercom systems. Every system is designed, installed, and programmed by our own team — no subcontractors.
Yes — the majority of our residential work is retrofit installations into existing homes. Wireless Ajax sensors, PoE lighting, wireless smart switches, in-ceiling speakers, and motorized shades can all be installed with minimal disruption. For networking, we use structured Cat6A cabling where possible and wireless enterprise access points where cabling isn't feasible. We assess every home individually and design around what's there.
Ajax Systems is a professional-grade wireless intrusion platform engineered for reliability that consumer systems can't match. It uses encrypted wireless communication, cellular backup independent of your internet connection, tamper detection on every device, and integrates with AI cameras and professional monitoring. Unlike Ring or ADT, Ajax integrates natively with Control4 — so your security system and your smart home are one unified system, not two separate apps. We're one of the only Ajax-certified dealers in the South Sound.
Yes — we coordinate with builders and general contractors on pre-wire design, structured cabling, and low-voltage rough-in for new construction in Kent and throughout the Green River Valley. Getting us involved at the framing stage is the most cost-effective way to build smart home infrastructure into a new home. Contact us early in the build process.
It depends on scope. A focused installation — smart lighting in the main living areas and a Control4 controller — might start around $8,000–$12,000. A whole-home system with lighting, security, shades, audio, theater, and full networking is typically a mid-to-high five-figure investment. We offer transparent, menu-based pricing so there are no surprise invoices. Use our online budget estimator to get a ballpark, or schedule a consultation for a proper scoped proposal.
