Bring Intuitive Voice Control Into Your Home With Josh.Ai
Enjoy Natural Speech, Personalized Scenes, and Effortless Control Across Lights, Shades, and Music
You’re already ahead of the curve with smart home integration. You’ve invested in top-tier products from companies like Lutron and Sonos, but it still doesn’t feel quite right. The convenience you were promised is not there, especially when you try to get them to work with your preferred smart speaker.
Enter Josh.Ai. It’s the first voice control solution specifically designed for luxury smart homes. It understands natural language, respects your privacy, and integrates high-end systems under one unified command. When you pair Josh.ai with the smart home products you already love, they work together instantly.
As your local smart home specialists, we’re here to show you why we love working with Josh.ai and how to bring it into your home for optimal impact.
Why Is Josh.ai Our Go-to Choice for Voice Control?
Most mass-market smart assistants often mishear commands and require precise phrasing to execute what you need. Even worse, they’re constantly sharing your data with advertising platforms. In contrast, Josh.ai has always put privacy first, while its AI-driven processing lets you speak to it as naturally as you would to your family members.
Through natural language processing, Josh understands conversational phrases, distinct accents, and compound instructions. Just say “Josh, turn on the lights and play acoustic music,” and it will know what room you’re in and only activate those lights and speakers.
Most of your commands go to a local Josh Core server rather than the cloud, so your data is never leaving your property. It only listens when you use your wake word and deletes your history. We know that this level of privacy is a must for Utah’s luxury homes.
How Does Josh.ai Integrate With Lutron?
Lutron is our lighting control system of choice, and now it includes native integration with Josh.ai. Josh connects directly with Lutron processors, such as HomeWorks or RadioRa 3. This helps it immediately access preset lighting scenes as well as your lighting layout.
And if you’re worried about clutter, Lutron has worked to incorporate Josh.ai microphones and controls directly onto their keypads (as pictured above) for intuitive voice and lighting control in one sleek package.
What are some unique ways to pair Josh.ai and Lutron? As you settle in for the evening to watch TV, say “Josh, dim the lights to 30 percent and close the shades,” or as you prep dinner, say, “Josh, make the kitchen lights cooler and brighter.”
How Do Sonos and Josh.ai Work Together?
Many of our clients use Sonos for flexible multi-room audio. Some install Sonos speakers directly, while others use Sonos components to add wireless audio capabilities to existing speakers. Whichever path you choose, you get an easy, high-quality listening experience indoors and out.
How does Josh play a role in your Sonos audio system? Once Josh is on the network, it will automatically detect Sonos players and assign them to rooms. So when you tell Josh to play something in the living room, it will know where to direct the audio.
Another cool implementation is Voice Cast. Josh will route any responses to your commands via Sonos speakers instead of its dedicated speakers. This is especially useful if you take advantage of the Josh GPT feature to ask for recipes, the weather, or background information on the topic you’re reading about.
