Smart Homes in Tacoma: Bringing Modern Automation to Historic Neighborhoods
Smart Homes in Tacoma: Bringing Modern Automation to Historic Neighborhoods

Tacoma is a city full of contrast — a place where historic craftsman homes meet modern architecture, waterfront living, and artistic culture. As smart technology becomes part of everyday life, home automation in Tacoma is no longer a luxury trend reserved for Silicon Valley — it’s becoming a standard for convenience, comfort, and security.
At Rivas Technology Group, we specialize in designing custom home automation systems that preserve the character of Tacoma homes while bringing them into the future with seamless, reliable technology.
What Is Home Automation?
Home automation connects the essential systems in your home so they work together intelligently. From a single app or a smart remote, you can control:
- Lighting & Dimming
- Climate & Energy Management
- Security Systems & Cameras
- Whole Home Audio & Video
- Motorized Shades
- WiFi & Network Infrastructure
- Smart Entry & Access Control
Your home becomes easier to live in — lights welcome you home, music follows you from room to room, and security notifications give you peace of mind.

Smart Technology for Tacoma Homes
Tacoma is unique — many neighborhoods like North End, Proctor, Stadium District, and Old Town have beautifully preserved homes that weren’t designed for modern wiring or technology. That’s where professional home automation design makes all the difference.
We help homeowners:
✅
Modernize historic homes without damaging original finishes
✅
Hide wiring and technology for a clean, architectural look
✅
Increase property value with built-in smart technology
✅
Improve energy efficiency with automated lighting & HVAC
✅
Upgrade entertainment with hidden speakers & media rooms
Whether you’re renovating a craftsman home or building a custom residence near Ruston Way, our systems are built to scale with your lifestyle.
