Josh Does More Than Basic Voice Commands
Learn How Josh.ai Enhances the Smart Home Experience
Smart home systems have come a long way in the last decade, but convenience alone should no longer be the benchmark. Luxury homeowners want a technology experience that feels personal and intuitive without compromising their privacy and data security, which is a concern shared by many about cloud-based voice assistants.
Meet Josh. It’s not a replacement for your existing system, but it’s an enhancement that makes the technology across your home feel more intelligent and more effortless.
At Fusion 9 Design, we work with homeowners who demand full integration that goes beyond the piecemeal control that DIY and low-end control systems usually offer. Josh.ai supports that expectation by tying together connected devices and adapting to your routines—all the while protecting your privacy at every step. Learn more about it below.

Josh Understands Context
Josh is more than a basic voice assistant. It understands context, location, and natural voice commands so you can finally speak like a human instead of having to remember clunky phrases.
If you say, “Josh, turn off the lights,” Josh knows where you are and which lights to turn off. If you follow with “Dim them to 20% in the dining room,” Josh understands what “them” refers to.
Contextual intelligence is a game-changer in multi-room, high-performance smart homes. There’s no need to memorize syntax or repeat device names to make adjustments. Instead, Josh responds to conversational language across rooms, lighting scenes, AV zones, and more.
A Private, Personalized Approach
One of the most critical distinctions with Josh.ai is its approach to privacy. Unlike mainstream voice assistants that rely on cloud-based data harvesting, Josh runs commands locally and anonymizes requests. No recordings are stored unless you want them to be, no user profiles are sold, and no eavesdropping occurs in the background. You can easily mute microphones, delete data histories, and disable learning-based features in seconds.
Privacy-first architecture aligns with the expectations of anyone who values discretion and security. Josh is designed for luxury environments where elegance means more than style, and trust is non-negotiable.
Josh Works Beautifully with Your Favorite Systems
Josh was built to integrate with your favorite devices instead of competing with them. It pairs natively with leading platforms, including Control4, Kaleidescape, Sony, and many others, to complement your current system instead of forcing you to rebuild it.
For homes that already feature Control4 automation, Josh adds another layer of intuitive control. It can call up scenes, adjust lighting levels, switch media sources, and lower shades by using a simple voice command or through a clean and minimal touchscreen.
You can ask Josh to “Set the living room to relaxation lighting” or “Play jazz on the patio,” and it executes multiple commands across different platforms simultaneously.
Josh Control Goes Beyond Voice
While voice is Josh’s most well-known feature, it’s not the only one. The Josh app serves as a beautifully designed interface that controls lighting, shading, audio, video, security, and climate while you’re on or off premises. Touchscreens and smartphone access are part of the experience, not afterthoughts.
For integrators like Fusion 9 Design, this opens up powerful design flexibility. Whether you’re using a touchscreen in the kitchen, a keypad in the hallway, or voice in the bedroom, Josh responds with elegance and intelligence.
Ready for a More Intelligent Smart Home Experience?
If your current system feels fragmented or overly complex, Josh.ai may be the missing layer. It complements robust home automation systems with intuitive control and unmatched privacy. When paired with expert design and installation, it can elevate the way you interact with your spaces, no matter how advanced your setup already is.
