Looking Back at 20 Years with Ryan Davis, Ratio’s Founder & President

Ratio AV is celebrating 20 years in business this March—and what a time it’s been! As an AV integrator and smart home company, we’ve seen the industry and our team evolve tremendously. After all, when Ratio began, it was only a one-man show. Flat-screen TVs were just being introduced, and smartphones didn’t exist yet!

To commemorate such a milestone, we sat down with our founder and president, Ryan Davis, to look back at two decades as a home technology company, proudly serving Park City, UT, and surrounding areas.

How has home technology changed since 2002—and where do we see it going? Here’s what our founder had to say.

New to Home Automation? Discover the Possibilities in 2022

For decades, sci-fi films and TV shows have imagined what future ‘smart homes’ would be like. And today, some of it has become a reality! While we don’t have The Jetsons’ flying cars or floating buildings, we can tell voice assistants to turn on our Lutron smart lights or start a FaceTime call on the flatscreen.

Modern home automation is a lot less flashy—but just as helpful—as fiction imagined. Today, luxury homeowners across the Salt Lake City area enjoy comfort and convenience with a centralized home automation system.

If you’re new to smart home technology, you may be surprised at the astounding features people are already living with today. Read on to get inspired for your Utah home and see all that’s possible.

Your Smart System Should Make Life Easier—Not More Complicated!

A smart home’s network is everything. Without a strong foundation, you’ll experience a mess of wires and gadgets that don’t work together and require separate apps. We’ve heard horror stories from those who tried to install the technology themselves, only leading them to a smart home that causes more problems than solutions. 

The breakdown in quality usually occurs when a homeowner assembles a collection of DIY devices without a sophisticated control system like Control4. Control4 and other smart controllers like it create the backbone of a high-end automation system.

Below, we’ll share what happens when smart home control goes wrong and how you can prevent technical mishaps in your Park City, UT home.
