Seamlessly Control Your Home Via Natural Voice Commands
Since Amazon’s Alexa first hit the market in 2014, voice control has been all the talk in smart home circles. However, Alexa’s limitations in whole-home applications became apparent immediately, along with many justified concerns about privacy.
Alex Capecelatro and Tim Gill founded Josh.ai to address these issues and craft a solution for luxury homes. Its AI-based interface allows for natural speech, more complex demands, and a more private experience.
This blog highlights why they’re our go-to voice control partners for our smart home automation installations in Tampa, FL, and beyond. Keep reading below.

Designed for Intuitive Control
Josh.ai’s proprietary Natural Language Processing Technology lets you speak to it just like you would a friend or family member. This technology makes voice control more accessible for the young, old, or disabled, who may struggle with strict voice commands or manual controls.
Josh Micros and Nanos also recognize their room installation locations and know which technology to adjust. Have a dinner party starting soon? Say, “Josh, dim the lights, lower the thermostat, and play some jazz” to set the atmosphere in your dining room.
Every time you use Josh, it better understands your needs, and the more you use it, the better it will respond to them. For example, it’ll recognize you like the motorized shades lowered and thermostat raised in the afternoon, and begin adjusting settings automatically to make your life easier.
Have Greater Peace of Mind
Privacy is a priority for Josh.ai. It will only collect the information you feel comfortable sharing to improve your smart home experience and will never sell or share that information with third parties for marketing purposes. Each Josh.ai interface lets you mute the microphone when you want additional privacy.
Control the Way You Want
Josh.ai offers three control interfaces: the Josh Micro, Josh Nano, and Josh app. Each features Josh.ai’s cutting-edge technology:
- Josh Micro: Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this device is strong enough to power any luxury home. Place it in any room, whether mounted on the wall or on a bedside table. The Nano is available in Carrera White and Onyx Black.
The Micro includes a touch-sensitive interface that lets you trigger scenes. Fine-tuned control is also available through a touch dial that adjusts to your technology. If you turn the lights on, it’ll serve as a dimmer. If you play music, it becomes a volume knob.
- Josh Nano: Just a touch larger than a quarter, the Nano allows for discrete installations. Available in Coral White and Jet Black, it can also be custom painted to match the surrounding walls. It includes a disconnect switch to disable microphones whenever you want. Lutron users can even incorporate the Nano into a Lutron keypad faceplate.
- Josh App: With a simple tap, you can talk to your home (or homes) from anywhere in the world. The app is where you can create scenes and specify if they should activate via voice commands, location, sensors, or schedules. If you’re feeling quiet, the app also offers a touch interface for managing all your technology.
