Smart Home & AV — Sequim & the North Olympic Peninsula

Smart Home Automation & AV in Sequim Control4 · Whole-Home Audio · Theater · Ajax Security

Sequim homes deserve technology as considered as the place they're built in. We design the whole system as one — lighting, shades, audio, video, climate, and security — build it to disappear into your home, and care for it remotely so it keeps working long after we've gone.

Designed together. Built to disappear.

Control4 Dealer — Pacific NW

Rivas Technology Group designs and installs custom smart-home, AV, and security systems for homes in Sequim and across the North Olympic Peninsula. Most Sequim homeowners have found there's no one local who does this at a true custom level — so we bring the design studio to you. We engineer the whole system as one, build it to disappear into your home, and care for it remotely so it keeps working long after we've gone. We're a Control4 Gold Dealer, Ajax Systems Certified, Ruckus Certified, and a CEDIA member.

Control4 Scene Control

One Tap.
Your Whole Home Responds.

The difference between smart devices and a smart home is integration. Control4 is the single brain that ties everything together, so one tap — or one spoken word — does what used to take five remotes.

Goodnight

Doors lock and the security system arms
Lights fade to off, path lighting stays low
Shades close, climate steps to night setting

Movie

Display and sound power on, source selected
Audio sets to the room's calibrated level
Shades lower, lights dim to a warm glow

Scenes are built around how you actually live — Morning, Away, Entertain, whatever the home needs. Trigger them from a keypad, touchscreen, the app, or your voice.

What We Design for Sequim Homes

One Home, Designed as One System

Not a drawer of apps and remotes — a single, considered system where everything works together and nothing makes you think about how.

Whole-Home Control

Lighting, shades, climate, music, and entertainment on one elegant interface, with scenes that run the house for you.

Audio Everywhere

Architectural speakers that disappear into the ceiling and fill any room — or the whole home — with sound, indoors and out on the patio.

Cinema & Media Rooms

From a clean, beautiful family media wall to a dedicated theater with calibrated picture and sound. We design the room, not just the gear.

Networking That Never Blinks

A commercial-grade network and Wi-Fi engineered to cover the whole property reliably — the quiet foundation everything else depends on.

Motorized Shades & Lighting

Light and privacy that move on schedule or on cue — protecting views, art, and furnishings from the bright Sequim sun.

Security That Disappears

Ajax Security wireless protection that respects the architecture — professional-grade, with no visible wiring or holes in finished walls.

Architectural Audio

Sound That Fills the Room.
And Vanishes Into It.

In-ceiling and in-wall Klipsch speakers disappear into the architecture while delivering reference-quality sound — one room or the whole home, indoors and out on the patio. No towers, no clutter. Just music wherever you want it, from one interface.

Flush, paintable speakers that match any ceiling
Independent zones — different music in every room
Weatherproof outdoor audio for the patio and deck
Ajax Security

Security That Respects the Architecture

We lead with Ajax Security — a wireless platform engineered as carefully as it's designed. Because it's wireless, it protects your home without drilling through finished walls or running visible cable, preserving the architecture you paid an architect for.

It's the clearest expression of our standard: built to disappear.

Professional-grade intrusion, fire, and water protection
Arms and disarms inside your everyday scenes
Cameras and smart entry integrated as one system

CURATOR Remote Care

Built to Run Without Us in the Room

Here's the honest part most companies won't say out loud: we're not based on the Peninsula. That's exactly why we engineer every Sequim system to be remotely monitored and cared for. Through our CURATOR Remote Care Plan , we watch the health of your system, push updates, and resolve most issues before you'd ever notice them — often before you'd have picked up the phone. When hands-on service is needed, it's scheduled, prepared, and done right the first time. Distance isn't a compromise in how we work. It's the reason we build the way we do.

The Stack

Chosen for How They Perform and How They Disappear

Every brand we build with earns its place on reliability and design — the two things a home you live in every day actually needs.

Automation & Control

The platform that ties everything together — one interface for the whole home. We're a certified Control4 Gold Dealer.

Wireless Security

Award-winning security engineered to protect without compromising a home's design. No visible wiring, no holes in finished walls.

Networking & Wi-Fi

Commercial-grade network infrastructure for whole-property coverage — the reliable foundation streaming audio, video, and control depend on.

Architectural Audio

In-ceiling and in-wall speakers that vanish into the architecture while delivering room-filling, reference-quality sound.

How We Work

Three Steps, Start to Lived-In

If you're building or remodeling in Sequim, the best time to involve us is early — at the design and pre-wire stage — so the technology is planned into the home, not bolted on after.

STEP 01

Designed Together

We walk your home or your plans, understand how you actually live, and engineer a system around it — not a package off a shelf. We coordinate directly with your builder, architect, and electrician.

STEP 02

Built in Our Shop

Your system is assembled and configured before we ever arrive, so installation on-site is clean, fast, and finished — with minimal disruption to your home.

STEP 03

Cared For, Quietly

Remote monitoring and scheduled service keep it working for years, not weeks. The same team that built it is the team that supports it.

Common Questions

Sequim Smart Home FAQ

Do you serve Sequim if you're based in Kent?

Yes. We design, build, and service smart-home, AV, and security systems throughout Sequim and the North Olympic Peninsula. Every system we install is engineered for remote monitoring and care, so most support happens quietly in the background — and on-site service is scheduled and prepared in advance.

What can a Control4 smart home actually do?

It unifies lighting, shades, audio, video, climate, security, and your network into one system you control from a single app, touchscreen, remote, or voice. Instead of juggling separate apps, one action — like "Goodnight" — can lock up, dim the lights, lower the shades, and set the temperature.

Can security blend into a high-end home?

Yes. We lead with Ajax Security, a wireless platform that protects your home without visible wiring or holes in finished walls, so it preserves the look of the architecture while delivering professional-grade protection.

We're building a new home in Sequim — when should we involve you?

As early as possible, ideally at the design and pre-wire stage. Planning the technology before the walls close keeps the install clean and avoids costly retrofits later. We coordinate directly with your builder, architect, and electrician.

What does a system cost?

Every home is different, so we scope to yours rather than quote a package. We start with a free design consultation to understand the home and your priorities, then deliver a clear, itemized proposal.

Your Home. One Conversation. One Build.

Book a free design consultation. We'll walk your home or your plans, understand how you live, and design a system that fits — not a spec sheet pulled from a catalog.
