Meet Josh: The Smarter, Safer Way to Talk to Your Home
Avidia is Now a Proud Josh.ai Dealer
Voice control should feel as natural as flipping a light switch, but more intuitive and elegant, and far more powerful. Purpose-built for luxury homes and discerning lifestyles, Josh.ai redefines what it means to live with connected technology. It's a powerful system that listens carefully, acts intelligently, and respects your privacy every step of the way.
At Avidia, we're proud to bring Josh.ai into the fold as an official dealer. It's a system that aligns with our commitment to personalized, high-performance automation, and it's designed for homeowners who expect more from their technology.
Josh Elevates Natural Voice Control
Josh doesn't require a cheat sheet. You don't have to memorize phrases or repeat commands. Speak casually.
"Turn on the kitchen lights and play jazz in the living room." Josh understands not only the words, but your intent and context. Want to adjust the shades, lower the lights, and set the mood? Say the word.
The platform is fully compatible with the top control platforms on the market, including Control4, Lutron, and Crestron. It also works with a variety of third-party solutions, coordinating device operations across lighting, shading, audio, and climate services. Everything connects in a unified system that responds to your preferences with grace and precision.
Ask Josh to lower the lights, close the shades, and start a movie, and it will know which room you're in, what the scene should look like, and how to orchestrate it all in perfect harmony.
Touch When You Want It, Voice When You Don't
Josh's new Touchscreen offers fast, tactile control that blends effortlessly into any home's décor. Its adaptive interface puts scenes, music, lighting, and environmental settings right at your fingertips or voice. There's no clutter and no confusion, just seamless control wrapped in a stunningly simple design.
The new Josh Remote is equally refined. It pairs the intelligence of voice automation with the familiarity of a traditional remote, but far more capable. It's perfect for those times when speaking aloud isn't the preferred option.
Privacy as a Principle
Some systems listen in so they can advertise to you or sell your data to third-party advertisers. Josh doesn't. It doesn't sell data, and it processes many commands locally, right on the device. That means fewer signals sent into the cloud and greater control over what stays in your home. For those who value discretion, this is an essential differentiator.
Voice control shouldn't come at the cost of personal privacy. With Josh, it doesn't. It's a platform engineered around trust instead of privacy trade-offs.
JoshGPT: Voice Control with Context
JoshGPT is a leap forward in contextual understanding, answering complex questions on command. Are you curious about the weather, the humidity in the wine cellar, or what's currently playing in another room? Josh responds clearly and takes action when asked. The experience feels less like speaking to a device and more like communicating with the home itself.
