Every System. One Architecture.
Designed together. Built to disappear. Lighting, audio, security, shades, climate, and networking — designed together from the first conversation, installed by one team, and controlled from one interface. Programmed around how you actually live.
Designed Together, Not Bolted On
Most "smart homes" are gadgets accumulated over years — six apps, three remotes, nothing talking to anything. We design every system together from the first conversation, so they communicate natively instead of through workarounds.
One Architecture, One Team
Six disciplines — lighting, network, shades, security, AV, outdoor — designed, installed, and supported by the same people.
- Every system engineered to work with every other
- No finger-pointing between vendors — one accountable team
- Documented architecture you can hand to a future owner
- WA Lic. RIVASGL799DR — wiring and power to code
Control4: Professional-Grade Platform
35,000+ devices from 400+ manufacturers, local processing on your network, and scene programming built by the South Sound’s only Gold Dealer.
- Touchscreens, T4 remote, mobile app, and voice
- Event-based automation — doorbell pauses the movie
- Local processing — runs on your network, not the cloud
- Gold-tier tools, drivers, and priority support
Programmed Around Your Life
Scenes and schedules built for your household — then tuned in your rooms during walkthrough, not shipped as defaults.
- "Good Morning," "Away," "Movie Night," "Good Night" — and custom
- Josh.ai voice intelligence available — private, on-device
- Retrofit-friendly — wireless-first options for existing homes
- CURATOR remote care for proactive support after go-live
Your Home Responds. You Just Live in It.
One tap — every system activates exactly as designed.
"Good Morning"
Shades open, lights warm up, music starts in the kitchen, security disarms.
"Away"
Lights off, doors lock, security arms, shades randomize to look lived-in.
"Movie Night"
Lights dim, shades close, projector on, surround calibrates.
"Good Night"
All off, doors lock, alarm arms, temperature drops to sleep setpoint.
What Is a Smart Home?
A smart home isn't a collection of gadgets. It's a single, unified architecture that connects your lighting, audio, video, security, shades, climate, and network — and makes them work together automatically.
Instead of six different apps and three remotes, everything runs through one interface. Press "Good Morning" and the shades open, lights warm up, your playlist starts in the kitchen, and the thermostat adjusts. The technology disappears. Your home just works — intuitively, reliably, without you having to think about it. That's what we design and install. That's what we mean by "designed together."
Six Disciplines. One Team. One System.
Each of these is a full service line — designed, installed, and integrated by the same team. They work together because we engineered them that way.
Smart Lighting
Control4, Ajax LightSwitch, and Lutron — keypads, dimmers, circadian tuning, and scenes that respond to time, occupancy, and events.
WiFi & Networking
The foundation everything else runs on. Ruckus, Island Router, Alta Labs, and structured cabling — enterprise infrastructure for every device.
Motorized Shades
Clara Shades, PowerShades, and Lutron — indoor, outdoor, PoE-powered. Integrated with your lighting and security scenes.
Smart Security
Ajax intrusion with photo-verified alarms, AI cameras, fire and flood detection, intercoms, and professional monitoring — integrated with your automation.
Home Theater & Audio
Dedicated theaters, media rooms, and whole-home audio — one tap dims the lights, drops the shades, and starts the movie.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor TV, landscape audio, JellyFish permanent lighting, and smart fans — the whole backyard on one tap.
Beyond Control4
Josh.ai Voice Intelligence
Privacy-focused voice control designed for luxury smart homes — natural language that understands complex, multi-step commands without sending your data to the cloud. Integrates natively with Control4. Josh.ai Voice Control →
AVA Cinema Remote
A premium theater remote with built-in AVA OS. We've engineered a custom webhook integration so AVA triggers Control4 scenes — bridging both platforms seamlessly. See It in the Theater →
The Infrastructure That Makes It All Work
A smart home is only as reliable as the foundation beneath it. These are the systems we build behind the walls and inside the rack.
Structured Wiring
Cat6A, fiber-to-jack, speaker runs, and low-voltage cabling — planned before drywall or retrofitted into existing homes.
Equipment Racks
Centralized AV and networking gear in ventilated, professionally wired racks — clean management, labeled connections, room to grow.
Power & Battery Backup
PDUs, UPS backup, and surge protection — security and networking never go dark during power fluctuations.
Cell Signal Boosters
Professional amplification for weak-coverage homes — stronger calls and reliable cellular backup for your Ajax security system.
Enterprise Networking
Ruckus, Island Router, Alta Labs, and PoE switching. Learn more →
Climate Integration
Thermostats integrated with Control4 scenes — temperature adjusts when you leave, return, sleep, or entertain. Pairs with shades for passive solar management.

Smart Home Automation FAQs
A smart home system connects your lighting, audio, video, security, shades, climate, and network into one centrally controlled platform. Instead of managing each system through its own app, everything works together through touchscreens, remotes, voice, or your phone — and scenes can be programmed to automate daily routines.
Control4 is a professional-grade home automation platform that integrates thousands of devices across lighting, audio, video, security, shades, climate, and more into one interface. As a Control4 Gold Dealer, we have advanced certification and direct support from the manufacturer. Control4 is reliable, scalable, and designed for professional installation — not a DIY platform.
Yes. We retrofit smart home systems into existing homes regularly. Wireless sensors, in-ceiling speakers, motorized shades, and smart lighting can all be added with minimal disruption. For the best performance, we also install structured wiring and enterprise-grade networking to support your system long-term.
Smart home systems vary widely depending on scope. A single-room setup with lighting and audio control starts at a few thousand dollars. A whole-home system with lighting, shades, security, audio, theater, and networking is typically a mid-to-high five-figure investment. We offer free consultations and budget estimators to help you plan.
Yes. Control4 integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control of lighting, audio, shades, climate, and scenes.
