Start the Day with a Voice Command to Josh
In a Josh.ai home, mornings start more gently. A simple, “Josh, good morning,” spoken to a Josh Micro speaker by your bedside can trigger a series of actions tailored to you. Gradually brighten the bedroom lights while the climate system nudges the temperature to a more comfortable setting.
You can integrate the Josh Micro into the Lutron Palladiom wall keypad, so the voice assistant exists without taking up any additional space. As you move into the kitchen, tap a key on it or say hello to Josh. The system will know you’re physically in the room and will adjust motorized shades to welcome sunlight, begin a news briefing, or play your favorite morning playlist.
Want a quick weather update or a reminder for the day? JoshGPT provides conversational, AI-driven responses to your requests. Just ask naturally. There are no complicated commands or menus to learn when you live in a home that simply understands.
Seamless Daytime Control for Work and Play
As the day progresses, a home with intuitive voice control continues to anticipate your needs. Heading into your home office, a simple “Josh, I need to work” command adjusts lighting for productivity, lowers background music, and ensures the temperature is just right to enhance concentration.
Manage your remote working ambiance by saying, “Josh, get ready for my meeting,” or “Josh, it’s time for a break. " The lights and shades will respond accordingly to provide the best combination of natural and human-made lighting. Grab your laptop for a quick meeting on the patio, then walk back to your desk while saying, “Josh, play Spotify,” to help you get into the right headspace for intense focus work.
For entertainment, voice control transforms living spaces into immersive experiences. “Josh, play jazz” fires up the speakers in the living room because Josh's far-field microphone array has contextual awareness, knowing which room you’re in and intuitively shifting settings exactly where you need them. You don’t need to fiddle with apps or devices to make changes to your environment; simply tell Josh.ai what you need.
Evening Comfort, Security, and Convenience
Evenings highlight the elegance of voice-controlled living. While cooking dinner, ask Josh to play a favorite playlist or brighten under-cabinet lighting. Moving into the media room or home theater for movie night, just tell your smart home: “Movie Time” settings will lower shades, dim lights, cue your surround sound system, and pause device notifications for a more immersive family film night.
When it’s time for bed, a simple, “Josh, goodnight,” spoken from anywhere in the home, can lock doors, arm the security system, adjust the thermostat, and gradually dim the lighting over the next hour as you make your way to the bedroom. Josh.ai handles complex routines effortlessly behind the scenes, making home automation feel less techy or futuristic and more thoughtful.
Why It Feels Different with Josh Voice Control
Living in a home with Josh working diligently behind the scenes is all about effortless living—not showing off technology.
Natural language commands eliminate friction, and devices like the Nano and Micro, touchscreens, remotes, and keypads ensure you always have options. Whether you prefer spoken instructions, physical controls, or AI-driven suggestions, your home adapts seamlessly to whatever you need.
JoshGPT takes the experience further by understanding context, answering questions, and suggesting optimizations so your “smart home” becomes intelligent and more intuitive every day. There are no blinking lights or confusing menus, just elegance, comfort, and control at your fingertips or via voice command.

A voice-controlled home doesn’t have to be a far-off futuristic dream—it’s happening now. Having technology fade into the background leaves you with freedom, convenience, and a home that truly responds to you.
