Voice Control Built for Your Whole Home

Smart speakers have come a long way. Ask one to turn on a lamp or play a playlist and it usually gets it right. What you want next is the whole home responding to a single sentence: dim the family room, lower the shades, and start the game, in the room you’re standing in, across the lighting, shade, and AV systems your integrator installed. 

That is the power of Josh.ai. It is a voice assistant and control system built to run your home, not a speaker that also happens to control a few devices. Alexa and Google Assistant are good at a lot of things. Josh.ai is built to be great at one.

Yes! Top Smart Home Scenes to Improve Your St. Louis Lifestyle

Flipping five switches to get a room ready for guests, then flipping them all back once everyone leaves, isn't really "lighting." It's a chore your home shouldn't be asking of you.

A room that's too bright for a movie or too dim for company doesn't feel unfinished because of the fixtures. It feels unfinished because the lighting was never designed around the room’s intended function or desired ambiance.

Smart lighting control fixes that by giving every space a set of scenes tailored to real moments, controlled from a keypad or app rather than a wall full of switches.

It’s More Than a Living Room. Not Quite a Home Theater. 

Football season is approaching, and if you're already picturing Sundays with friends packed onto your couch, a dedicated media space changes what that day actually looks like. 

This isn't a theater room reserved for solemn movie nights only. Built right, it's a room that features all the best technology of a cinema, but designed for flexible hangouts.

Use this guide to walk through the key decisions before you purchase or build anything.

The Foundation Every Real Smart Home Depends On

You can install the finest motorized shades, whole-home audio, lighting control, and smart security system available. But if your home's network isn't built to support it all, even premium technology can feel frustrating to use.

When homeowners experience slow apps, buffering video, or devices that randomly disconnect, they often assume the smart products are to blame. In many cases, the real issue is the network working behind the scenes.

Think of your home's network like the foundation beneath a custom-built house. You rarely think about it, but everything depends on it.
