AU #300: Lee Travis on Leadership, Lighting, and Longevity
Welcome to a special edition of Automation Unplugged! I’m Ron Callis, and today, we’re celebrating a big milestone—our 300th episode. To mark the occasion, I’m sitting down with returning guest, Lee Travis, Owner of Wipliance. Lee founded Wipliance in 2006, but his experience in the integration industry goes back more than 30 years. Headquartered in Bellevue, WA, Wipliance expanded to Scottsdale, AZ, in 2016, and in 2022, they grew again with the acquisition of Huppin’s Hifi, bringing their expertise to Spokane and Northern Idaho. Over the years, Wipliance has built a strong reputation not just in audio/video and home automation but also in lighting and shading solutions—key areas driving their success. They’ve earned recognition as Integrator of the Year by the Consumer Technology Association and CES and are three-time Lutron Excellence Award winners.
