For designers, architects, and builders, collaborating with smart home integrators can transform ambitious concepts into real, cutting-edge living spaces that truly stand out to clients. Here’s how a Seattle smart home integrator can make developer dreams come true and turn smart homes into a reality.

The Wipliance team of industry experts is proud to announce our acceptance of the TechHome “Integrator of the Year” award at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), hosted earlier this month in Las Vegas.

Known as one of the most prestigious industry awards to date, the “Integrator of the Year”  was presented to our team at CES by the Consumer Technology Association’s TechHome Division and CE Pro, recognizing our team as the nation’s best in custom home technology installation services.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized by our industry with this major award,” said Wipliance founder and owner Lee Travis, who has attended CES for 33 consecutive years, since graduating high school in 1986. “This award is really all about our team; it is a testament to their dedication and hard work.”

Our team has focused on custom solutions in home automation systems, audio video, lighting control, window treatments, and security since 2006 and is committed to serving all of our clients in both the Scottsdale, Arizona and Bellevue, Washington areas.

According to Oberlo, in 2023, over 60 million U.S. households are using smart devices. This figure represents over 46% of the total number, meaning almost half of all families have adopted smart technology. That is genuinely remarkable, considering the technology only dates back to 1975. 

Why the astronomical rise? Smart devices offer convenience and efficiency and enhance a home’s design. Some of the most popular devices are smart light bulbs, video doorbells, and smart thermostats, each controlled via their own apps. A smart device, however, is much different from a smart home. 

As a home automation contractor serving Scottsdale, AZ, since 2006, Wipliance has witnessed the incredible advancements and immense possibilities today's intelligent home brings. We're proud to be a part of this exciting industry, bringing our clients best-in-class technology that’s easy to use.
