Federal Way's Premier Smart Home Integrator. Dash Point · Twin Lakes · Steel Lake · West Campus · Celebration Park
Federal Way is one of the largest cities in Washington State — and one of the most underserved when it comes to professional smart home integration. Rivas Technology Group designs every system as one architecture: lighting, security, audio, networking, shades, and automation built together from the first conversation. Control4 Gold Dealer credentials and Ajax Systems certification, from a South Sound–local team 15 minutes away.
Federal Way Sits Between Two Counties. We Serve Both.
North Federal Way
The northern portion of Federal Way falls within King County — connecting to the Auburn, Kent, and Des Moines corridor. Established residential neighborhoods, newer developments, and significant commercial density along Pacific Highway and I-5.
South Federal Way
The southern section transitions into Pierce County — bridging Federal Way to Milton, Edgewood, and the Tacoma metro. Many residents here identify with both markets but are often underserved by integrators who draw hard county lines.
Most integration companies pick a side. Seattle firms see Federal Way as the edge of their range. Tacoma firms see it as the top of theirs. Rivas Technology Group is based in Kent — equidistant from both markets — and we serve Federal Way as a primary service area, not a boundary case.
That means consistent response times, no scheduling penalties for being "out of area," and a team that's genuinely familiar with Federal Way's neighborhoods — from the waterfront properties on Puget Sound to the established subdivisions around Steel Lake, Twin Lakes, and Dash Point.
Every System. One Team. One Architecture.
Six disciplines designed together — by the same South Sound–based team. No subcontractors. No handoffs.
Control4 Smart Home Automation
Lighting, audio, video, security, shades, and climate — unified under one professionally programmed platform. We design the whole system together from the first conversation, so every subsystem works as one.
Explore Smart Home Automation →Ajax Smart Security
Professional-grade wireless intrusion detection, AI cameras, fire and flood monitoring, cellular backup, and 24/7 professional monitoring — integrated with your automation, not bolted on separately.
Explore Smart Security →Smart Lighting
Control4 lighting, Lutron Caséta, Lutron RA3, and PoE — keypads, dimmers, circadian tuning, and scenes designed alongside your shades and security so every system responds together, not independently.
Explore Smart Lighting →Enterprise WiFi & Networking
The foundation everything else runs on. Alta Labs, Ruckus, and UniFi access points with structured Cat6A cabling — enterprise infrastructure sized for Federal Way homes and commercial properties.
Explore WiFi & Networking →Motorized Shades
Clara Shades, PowerShades, and Lutron — designed into the architecture from the start. Perfect for Federal Way's Puget Sound–facing properties and their western solar exposure, coordinated with lighting and security scenes.
Explore Motorized Shades →Home Theater & Audio
Dedicated theaters, media rooms, and whole-home audio with VSSL, Klipsch, B&W, Epson, and Sony. One tap dims the lights, drops the shades, and starts the movie — because we designed every system to work together.

Federal Way has been underserved by premium integration for too long. Here's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Genuinely Local — Not a Drive-In
We're based in Kent, roughly 15 minutes from central Federal Way. We're not a Seattle firm adding Federal Way to a long service area list — we're your closest premium integrator, and we treat it that way.
Control4 Gold — The Advanced Tier
Gold is not the entry-level dealer certification. It requires advanced training, manufacturer testing, and demonstrated capability with complex multi-room installations.
Ajax Security — Not Ring or ADT
We're Ajax Systems certified — one of the only dealers in the South Sound with this credential. Ajax is engineered for professional installation with AES-128 encrypted wireless, cellular backup, and AI camera integration.
No Subcontractors. Ever.
Every person who works in your home is a full-time Rivas Technology Group employee. The same team that designs your system pulls your cables and programs your controller.
Transparent Menu Pricing
We publish our rates. Every service has a defined scope and a set price. No surprise invoices, no hardware markups layered in after the fact.
30+ Years Combined Experience
Our team brings over 30 years of combined integration experience — residential and commercial, new construction and retrofit. That depth shows in system reliability and clean programming.
Federal Way's Neighborhoods — We Know Them
From waterfront Puget Sound properties to established inland subdivisions, we've worked across Federal Way's full range of residential and commercial environments.
Dash Point
Waterfront and near-waterfront residential properties with premium home profiles — whole-home automation, outdoor audio, motorized shades, and integrated security for high-value homes overlooking Puget Sound.
Twin Lakes
Established mid-to-upper residential area with larger single-family homes well-suited for whole-home Control4 integration, smart lighting retrofits, and security upgrades.
Steel Lake
Quiet lakeside neighborhood with established homes — smart home retrofits, enterprise WiFi, and Ajax security installations for homeowners looking to modernize without major renovation.
Town Center / The Commons
Federal Way's commercial and retail core along S 320th — commercial AV, business networking, and Ajax security integration for retail, office, and mixed-use properties.
Woodmont / Des Moines Border
Northern Federal Way transitioning to Des Moines — newer construction and established homes equally, with strong demand for smart lighting and whole-home networking.
Lakeland / Milton Border
South Federal Way transitioning into Pierce County — residential and new construction with growing demand for smart home integration as the area continues to develop.
Pacific Highway Corridor
Federal Way's commercial spine along SR-99 — enterprise networking, commercial security, and AV integration for hospitality, retail, and light commercial properties.
West Campus / Celebration Park
Upscale residential developments near Federal Way's western parks — premium smart home profiles with high-spec Control4 deployments, home theater, and motorized shade installations.
Federal Way Businesses & Multi-Unit Properties
Federal Way's commercial density — from the Pacific Highway corridor to the Town Center area — creates strong demand for professional AV, enterprise security, and building-wide networking. We handle Ajax multi-tenant security with Akuvox intercom systems, commercial AV for hospitality and retail, enterprise networking for office buildings, and PoE lighting for commercial spaces.
Smart Home FAQ for Federal Way Homeowners
We're headquartered in Kent, Washington — approximately 15 minutes north of central Federal Way via SR-167 or I-5. Federal Way is a primary service area for us, not an edge case. We conduct site visits, consultations, and service calls in Federal Way regularly and schedule them with the same priority as our home city.
Yes. We serve both the King County and Pierce County portions of Federal Way. Our Washington State Electrical Contractor License (RIVASGL799DR) covers both counties, and we have no service boundary at the county line. Many Federal Way homeowners in the southern portion of the city are closer to our Tacoma-area client base — we serve that area as well.
Control4 whole-home automation, Ajax Systems wireless security, smart lighting (Control4, Lutron Caséta, Lutron RA3, PoE), enterprise WiFi and structured networking (Alta Labs, Ruckus, UniFi), motorized shades (Clara, PowerShades, Lutron), home theater and multi-room audio, and Akuvox intercom systems. Every system is designed as one architecture — we don't install each discipline in isolation.
Yes — waterfront and near-waterfront homes are among our most common project profiles in Federal Way. These properties often have specific requirements: outdoor audio for decks and patios, motorized shades managing western solar exposure, enterprise networking across larger square footage, and integrated security with exterior camera coverage.
In most cases, yes — by a significant margin. Traditional alarm companies and consumer systems like Ring use unencrypted wireless and depend entirely on your internet connection. Ajax uses AES-128 encrypted two-way wireless, has cellular backup built into the hub, tamper detection on every device, and AI cameras with photo-verified alarms. It integrates natively with Control4. We're one of the only Ajax-certified dealers serving Federal Way.
Project scope determines cost. A focused smart lighting and Control4 installation in the main living areas might start around $8,000–$12,000. A whole-home system with lighting, security, shades, audio, theater, and networking is typically a mid-to-high five-figure investment.
