The Combined Power of Josh.ai & Control4 Home Automation

Smart home living offers incredible benefits, including one-touch control of lights, shades, climate, entertainment, security, and more. Instead of manually adjusting blinds in the morning and turning off every light when you go to bed, you can press a button, and your smart home does it for you. 

However, almost ten years ago, something transpired that made managing your smart home even more intuitive and fun. In 2015, Josh.ai was born, a virtual assistant designed for smart homes. When integrated with Control4, a leader in home automation, a simple voice command can transform your home in Cuyahoga County, OH. 

Here, we'll explore some of the remarkable things you can do in a smart home managed by Josh.ai.

Josh.ai & Control4 Combined

Unlike other virtual assistants, Josh.ai understands "smart home" language. He knows when you say, "Ok Josh, let's relax," you want the lights dimmed down to 50%, the color transformed to candlelight, your relaxing playlist streaming through the living room and out into the yard, and the spa heated. 

Because Control4 integrates with tens of thousands of third-party smart devices, you're ensured a home that responds no matter your request. From turning the lights to cerulean blue and turning on your current series, which happens to be on Netflix, Josh knows and obeys.

Managing Your Entertainment

Today's home entertainment is vast, with numerous sources that can lead to remote overload. Josh.ai, however, seamlessly supports any system and understands every media source. The result is a simple request that gets translated into the source and location. 

For instance, when you say, "Ok, Josh, watch The Perfect Couple," it knows you're in the media room and want to watch a show on Netflix. It determines the AV source that offers that content and tells Control4 to route and activate it, and prestissimo, it appears. 

The same process occurs with music. You can ask Josh to play music based on the band, the album's name, the station, or the genre, and your multi-room music system responds. If you have programmed scenes that set the lights, climate, music, and shades based on the activity, Josh understands your requests. 

Privacy Built-in

Josh.ai emphasizes privacy and security in its voice control solutions, ensuring that user data is never shared or sold to third parties. Unlike other voice assistants, Josh.ai processes voice commands locally within the home, keeping personal information off the cloud. This decentralized approach enhances privacy and also delivers faster responses. With encrypted communications and customizable privacy settings, Josh.ai offers users complete control over their smart home experience.
