The Powerful Duo: Control4 and Josh.ai Home Automation Services

Explore Living in a Control4 Smart Home with Josh.ai 

Smart home living offers a profound journey, one once unimaginable. As a Control4 Pinnacle Dealer and home automation services provider, our team at Applause Custom Sight & Sound has watched the incredible advancements for over 20 years. 

What started as one-touch control for lighting, shades, climate, security, and entertainment has become much more, an automated ease of living. When Control4 joined forces with Josh.ai, the voice assistant designed for smart homes, the smart home became even more intuitive, effortlessly aligning and meeting needs, sometimes before being asked.

Let’s explore what it means to live in a Control4 smart home with Josh.ai as your assistant.

A Comprehensive Smart Home

Control4 is an open home automation platform that can manage nearly any connected device. To make managing these many devices effortless, we’ll program scenes that control multiple devices simultaneously. For instance, when you press ‘Relax,’ the lights might turn the color of a sunset, jazz surrounds you in high-fidelity, and your spa heats up. 

Josh.ai works in much the same way, understanding complex commands. For example, when you say, “OK, Josh, dim the lights, turn on [insert favorite movie here], and lower the shades,” it knows you mean the lights and shades in the living room and which streaming service your favorite movie is on. And when you tell Josh you’d like to ‘Relax,’ it knows the scene and will initiate the same sequence of events. 

The combination of Josh.ai’s ability to understand natural language and contextual awareness and Control4’s intuitive interfaces and extensive interoperability translate to an incredible smart home experience. Josh.ai’s integration with Control4 AV distribution, shades, lights, thermostats, scenes, and more offers endless potential.

Talking to a Friend

You can talk to Josh normally, like you’re having a conversation, with no simplifying sentences or extra effort in pronunciation. Say, “OK, Josh, let’s listen to some music in the backyard, lock the front door, and turn on the landscape lights,” and you can be confident it will complete it.

Do you want your home environment a certain way when you return from work on Fridays? Say, “At 6 p.m., turn on the landscape and kitchen lights, adjust the thermostat to 70 degrees, and switch on the evening news.”

Advanced Systems

If you’ve considered integrating the advanced LED full-spectrum lighting systems into your home, such as Lutron’s Ketra, you may wonder how to manage millions of light colors with a voice command. What would happen if you said, “Josh, turn the lights to Byzantine in the living room?” It will turn the lights to a dark purple. 

You can also manage your home from anywhere. Tap and talk to tell Josh what to do right from the app. As you continue to interact with Josh, it begins to learn your preferences. Do you usually raise the shades in the morning and adjust the thermostat? Now, Josh will do it for you.
