CONTROL YOUR HOME’S LIGHT & PRIVACY WITH MORE CONVENIENCE

Many people don’t give much thought to their window shades beyond the fabric or material. But as smart home integrators, we’ve found that motorized roller shades are some of the most valuable and convenient features to add to any home. 

Imagine in every window across your house, shades rise and lower simultaneously. Not only will it save you time each morning and night, but you can cover hard-to-reach windows high on walls and ceilings and automate floor-to-ceiling drapery. Even if you’re away from home, you can remotely control and adjust window shades from your Lutron lighting or Control4 smart home app.

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.

Imagine Convenience & Style from Morning to Night

The average house is built with 22 windows—and nearly double homes that are 5,000 sq. feet or larger. That’s a lot of window shades to raise and lower every single day. In some cases, you might not bother adjusting the drapes or blinds purely out of inconvenience.

But there are real benefits to harvesting sunlight, warmth, and protecting interiors from UV rays. With your window shades adjusted at the right times, you can even improve security and lower energy bills.

Luckily, there is an easier way to control the 20-plus windows in your home. Motorized shades by brands like Lutron offer a smart, convenient way to manage sunlight and privacy in your Salt Lake City, UT home. What’s life like with motorized shades? Find out below!
