Smart Home Automation Auburn, WA Lakeland Hills · Academy District · Lea Hill · West Hill · Valley Floor
From Lakeland Hills to the Academy district, Rivas Technology Group designs every system in your Auburn home as one architecture — lighting, security, audio, networking, shades, and control — installed by the same Kent-based team that designed it.
Rivas Technology Group in Auburn
Auburn is one of the South Sound's fastest-growing cities — and one of the most varied. Lakeland Hills and the Academy district feature newer custom construction where smart home pre-wire at framing is both practical and highly cost-effective. The valley floor has established neighborhoods where wireless Control4 retrofits and Ajax security upgrades deliver modern capability without tearing into walls.
Our Kent home base means we're typically on-site within 30 minutes. We service Auburn regularly enough that same-week calls are the norm. And because we design your lighting, security, audio, and networking as one integrated system, everything communicates natively — no workarounds, no middleware, no separate apps.
Auburn new construction along SE Auburn and the Academy corridor is where we're most active with builders. We coordinate with GCs at framing, handle low-voltage rough-in on schedule, and return for trim and system commissioning at move-in. If you're building in Auburn, the right time to call us is before framing.
Every system we install is designed together from the first conversation. Lighting scenes that dim when the security system arms. Shades that drop when the projector turns on. A network built to handle everything we're putting on it. One architecture, one team, one call when something needs attention.
