Dispense With Traditional Automation Interfaces, Use Your Natural Voice Without Repeating Yourself Or Privacy Fears.

Voice control of devices was a long sought-after feature throughout the early 20th century. The first practical unit was Bell Lab’s 1962 unit dubbed 'Shoebox.' The device could respond to a male voice speaking the numbers 0-9 and a few mathematical commands. We have come a long way with 'smart speakers' controlling lights, cameras and more; they have become a nearly ubiquitous feature of the modern home.

While voice control has become more popular, not all systems and devices offer the same feature sets or flexibility levels. The Josh.ai system provides a next-level, 21st-century interaction for your Chesapeake, VA smart home. Are you intrigued by the possibilities? Continue reading below to learn more.

NATURAL INTEGRATION OF YOUR VOICE

One of the troublesome issues with voice control is that consumer-level devices often miss your statement or cannot understand regional pronunciation differences. Josh.ai was created from the onset to use the power and freedom of voice control without hesitation or repeating commands. .

The advanced processing of a Josh.ai allows you to use your natural speech patterns and vocal intonations when controlling devices in the house. For example, to open or close the shades, dim the lights or lower the temperature, you simply say, “Ok, Josh, Lower the thermostat to 68 degrees.”

While most commands consist of simple single actions, the platform offers you the ability to execute several steps throughout the house from one interaction. Josh.ai can also accommodate simultaneous orders from different rooms without a hiccup.

A GOOD LISTENER

Any good conversation requires a decent amount of thoughtful listening. The Josh.ai system does this with small interfaces designed to be discreet and sophisticated, blending into the architecture and decor of a luxury home.

The microphone interface, called Nano, has an innate awareness of its exact location. This system uses the proximity of your voice to determine the best source and strongest signal. Josh uses the same geo-location technology to respond to your requests. The platform speaks through your multiroom audio system, using its Voice Cast tool to respond in a fully resonant voice. There is no need to worry about missing a message or command confirmation as the system takes measures to ensure it will not be drowned out by room noise.

CONVERSATIONAL EVENT CREATION

For many control system, adding or modifying existing scenes or events requires a programmer to write, test and upload the new code.

Do you desire a new bedtime routine? New scenes are created by speaking directly to the system. Tell Josh to set the lights, close the motorized shades, and play the music that soothes you. Now, each time you tell the system to activate 'Bedtime Mode,' it will automatically do so.

ASSURED PRIVACY

Your home is a sanctuary from the world at large, one where you should not have to worry about your devices listening in to your intimate conversations. The Josh. ai platform is premised on the idea that voice control does not equal the loss of your privacy.

Unlike other 'off the shelf' voice interfaces, the company does not collect your data and sell it to marketing firms. Instead, the central processor handles all the voice interactions locally; none of it ever makes its way to the internet or external servers. In addition, the nano microphones furnish you with local control and mute; you have the power to manage what the system hears.
