What Is Josh.ai? Intelligent Home Control Designed Around Your Lifestyle

Imagine walking into your home and simply saying, "OK Josh, turn on the kitchen lights, lower the shades, and play my favorite music."

Instead of opening several apps, searching for remotes, or walking from room to room adjusting different systems, your home responds to you. That is the experience Josh.ai is designed to provide.

At RMS Installs, we design, install, integrate, and program intelligent home technology, including Josh.ai, whole-home audio and video, Lutron lighting, Lutron motorized shades, climate control, networking, surveillance, and other connected systems. Our goal is to bring these technologies together so they operate as one cohesive system rather than a collection of individual devices.

What Is Josh.ai?

Josh.ai is an advanced home intelligence and automation platform specifically designed for professionally installed smart homes.

Rather than requiring homeowners to learn complicated commands, Josh.ai uses artificial intelligence and natural-language processing to make interacting with the home feel more conversational. You can control the system through voice, touch, text, the Josh App, touchscreens, and compatible handheld controls.

What Josh.ai Can Bring Together

Josh.ai can bring many elements of your home together, including:

• Lighting
• Motorized shades
• Televisions
• Whole-home audio
• Music
• Home theaters
• Climate control
• Cameras
• Door stations
• Gates and garage doors
• Fireplaces
• Fans
• Sensors
• Other compatible smart-home equipment

The result is a home where technology becomes easier to use rather than more complicated.

Talk to Your Home Naturally

One of Josh.ai's biggest advantages is its conversational approach to voice control. Instead of remembering an exact phrase for every device, homeowners can communicate more naturally. Josh.ai can also understand contextual and compound requests.

For example, you could say:

"OK Josh, turn off the downstairs lights, close the shades, and play jazz in the Family Room."

A properly designed system can coordinate several actions from one request.

Room Awareness

Josh.ai can also understand the room where a compatible microphone is located. That means you can walk into a room and simply request that the lights turn on or the shades close without always having to specify the room.

Control Your Lutron Lighting and Shades

Lighting and natural light can completely change the atmosphere of a home.

RMS Installs can integrate compatible Lutron lighting and motorized shading systems with Josh.ai, allowing homeowners to control their environment naturally.

Imagine saying:

"OK Josh, lower the shades halfway and dim the lights."

Or creating a Good Morning experience that opens selected shades and adjusts the lighting throughout the home.

Evening Scenes

At night, a Goodnight scene could lower the shades and turn off selected lights throughout the property.

Instead of controlling lighting and shades separately, Josh.ai helps turn them into part of a complete lifestyle experience.

Whole-Home Audio Made Simple

Music shouldn't require navigating through multiple applications every time you move from one room to another.

With a professionally integrated audio system, Josh.ai can make whole-home entertainment much easier to access. You could request music in the Kitchen while preparing breakfast, extend it into the Family Room when guests arrive, or create a whole-home entertainment experience for a party.

RMS Installs can design and install architectural speakers, amplifiers, distributed audio systems, networking, and the associated control programming necessary to create an integrated entertainment experience.

Smarter Video and Home Theater Control

Today's entertainment systems can include televisions, streaming devices, AV receivers, projectors, screens, surround-sound processors, and multiple sources.

Without proper integration, enjoying a movie can sometimes mean finding several remotes and changing multiple inputs.

RMS Installs can integrate your video and home theater equipment into your smart-home system so everyday operation is considerably simpler.

Example: Movie Night Scene

A custom Movie Night scene, for example, could be designed to lower the shades, dim the Lutron lights, prepare the entertainment system, and create the atmosphere for watching a movie. One command can become an experience.

Automate Your Daily Routine

The real value of home automation isn't controlling individual devices. It's getting multiple systems to work together around the way you actually live.

Your RMS Installs team can create customized scenes and automations for different parts of your day.

Sample Daily Scenes

• Good Morning — raises selected shades and adjusts the lights
• Leaving Home — turns off designated lighting and entertainment equipment and prepares other integrated systems for your departure
• Welcome Home — illuminates selected areas and prepares your preferred environment
• Dinner — adjusts the lighting, lowers shades, and starts background music
• Movie Night — prepares your theater or Family Room with one request
• Goodnight — turns off selected lights and entertainment systems and closes shades throughout the home

Your smart home should adapt to your lifestyle — not require you to adapt your lifestyle to the technology.

One App for Your Connected Home

Josh.ai also provides a unified app experience for controlling compatible systems.

Instead of jumping between separate applications for lighting, shades, music, climate, and entertainment, the Josh App can provide a centralized interface for the connected home. Rooms and devices can be organized to make everyday controls easier to find, while personalized scenes put frequently used experiences within reach.

A Privacy-Focused Approach to Voice Control

Privacy is an important consideration when adding microphones and artificial intelligence to a home.

Josh.ai states that it does not sell client data to third parties or use client information for marketing purposes. Josh Core also performs significant processing locally within the home whenever possible.

Josh microphones are activated by a wake word, provide visual feedback when listening, and include microphone privacy controls.

For homeowners who want sophisticated voice control but are also concerned about how their household information is handled, privacy is an important part of the Josh.ai platform.

Why Professional Installation Matters

A truly intelligent home is much more than adding a voice assistant.

The network, Wi-Fi coverage, equipment placement, programming, audio/video distribution, lighting control, shades, and connected devices all need to work together reliably.

Josh.ai is distributed through professional home technology integrators because every property and automation system is different. That is where RMS Installs comes in.
