In Bonney Lake, the backyard is no longer just a patch of grass and a grill — it’s an extension of your home. As more homeowners look to create meaningful experiences outdoors, smart automation brings convenience, comfort, and creativity into open-air environments. Imagine stepping onto your patio and, with one touch or a simple voice command, your lights dim to a golden glow, music fades in seamlessly, and the ambiance feels perfect.


That’s what outdoor living automation delivers — and it’s what Rivas Technology Group designs every day for South Sound homeowners.

Seamless Entertainment, Indoors to Outdoors


With today’s advanced technology, you can carry your favorite playlists, podcasts, or even movie audio from the living room to the backyard without missing a beat.


Rivas integrates Tyba Muse music streamers with Genelec Smart IP and SoundTube PoE outdoor speakers to create perfectly balanced, high-performance sound throughout your property.


Each zone is intelligently powered and networked, giving you clear, detailed audio — whether you’re hosting a dinner party under the pergola or relaxing by the firepit. Because the system is fully IP-based, you get low-latency, synchronized playback and the flexibility to expand your setup later on.

Lighting That Sets the Scene


The right lighting transforms your outdoor space from functional to unforgettable. Using Pure Smart Lighting and Coastal Source fixtures, Rivas builds layered illumination scenes that adapt to your mood and moment.


Select “Evening Entertain” for warm ambient light and soft accent glows, or choose “Pathway Safe” for discreet, motion-activated visibility. With full integration through Control4, Tyba, or voice assistants, you can even adjust brightness, tone, and timing without leaving your seat.


Beyond beauty, smart lighting also enhances safety — automatically illuminating walkways, decks, and stairs when motion is detected or when the sun sets.

Comfort, Privacy, and Control


Enjoy your patio in every season. Smart shading systems from PowerShades let you control sunlight and privacy at the touch of a button. For ultimate comfort, Rivas integrates automated outdoor heaters, fans, and screens, ensuring your space remains usable year-round.


These elements work together intuitively — imagine your shades lowering as the afternoon sun hits, while ambient lights and music automatically adjust to maintain the perfect atmosphere.

Rugged Reliability for Washington Weather


Pacific Northwest weather demands technology that can withstand moisture, cold, and heat. That’s why Rivas specifies weatherproof networking, PoE lighting, and outdoor-rated speakers engineered for long-term reliability.


Each system is tested and tuned to ensure seamless performance, even in challenging conditions. And because everything runs on a unified automation platform, you can control, monitor, and update your system from anywhere — confidently and securely.
