Smart home control that feels natural
Meet the home that understands what you mean.
Josh.ai is more than another voice assistant. It is a professionally integrated home-intelligence platform that connects the systems in your home and makes them easier to use together.
Ask for several things at once. Control a room without memorizing device names. Use the app when quiet control makes more sense, a touchscreen when you want a dedicated interface, or discreet microphones when you want the technology to recede into the architecture.
Davis Audio & Video plans the complete experience: system compatibility, network readiness, interface placement, room naming, scenes, privacy settings, testing, homeowner training, and long-term support. The result is a Josh.ai system that feels considered from the first command—not a collection of gadgets that happen to share an app.
One request. A coordinated response.
Say it the way you would naturally say it.
“OK Josh, dim the kitchen lights, lower the shades, and play the evening playlist.”
Josh.ai is designed to interpret context, rooms, and compound requests so connected systems can respond together. Davis Audio & Video programs the names, scenes, schedules, and device relationships behind that simplicity.
- Room- and location-aware control
- Multi-step voice commands
- Personalized scenes and schedules
- Touch, text, app, and voice access
A single experience across the home
What can Josh.ai control?
A Davis Audio & Video consultation identifies what can be integrated now, what should be updated, and how the finished system should behave. Compatibility depends on the exact products and system design.

Choose what to play, where to play it, and how multiple rooms should work together.
Whole-home audioClimate & Comfort
Coordinate thermostats, fans, fireplaces, pools, spas, and comfort scenes around daily life.
Security & Access
Bring supported cameras, door stations, locks, gates, garage doors, and alerts into view.
Video surveillanceScenes & Routines

Information & Assistance
Use conversational assistance, notifications, schedules, weather, and supported services from the same interface.
Current Josh.ai compatibility
Technology that respects the interior
The right interface in every room.
A polished smart home is not defined by how much technology you can see. It is defined by how easily the home responds when you need it.
Josh Micro & Josh Nano
Room-based far-field voice control with tabletop, wall, or discreet architectural placement options.
Josh App & Touchscreen
Visual, room-aware control for phones, tablets, and dedicated wall or tabletop interfaces.
Josh Edge
A tactile handheld option for entertainment and tap-to-talk control when physical buttons matter.
Josh Core or Josh One
The on-site platform is selected around the size, complexity, and long-term goals of the system.
Privacy with meaningful controls
A smarter home should still feel like your home.
Josh.ai says it does not sell client data or use it for third-party advertising. The platform prioritizes local processing, provides user roles and chat-history controls, and makes microphone activity visible.
Privacy claims deserve precision: Josh also uses encrypted cloud services when needed for speech recognition, live information, entertainment services, selected cloud-connected devices, and system availability. Davis Audio & Video will help you understand the settings and tradeoffs before the system is commissioned.

Still deciding whether Josh.ai is the right control experience? We can review your goals and existing system without assuming every room needs the same solution.
Ask Davis Audio & Video about your projectWhat is Josh.ai?
Josh.ai is a professionally integrated smart-home platform that brings voice, touch, text, automation, and connected-device control into one experience. It is designed for sophisticated homes and can coordinate multiple rooms and systems from a natural request.
Can Josh.ai work with an existing smart-home system?
Often, yes. Josh.ai supports many professional control, lighting, audio, video, climate, security, and access products, including selected systems from Control4, Crestron, Lutron, Sonos, Apple, Roku, Hunter Douglas, Ecobee, and other manufacturers. Compatibility is device- and project-specific, so Davis Audio & Video reviews the existing system before recommending a design.
Is Josh.ai completely local and offline?
Josh prioritizes local processing, and Josh Core performs many important functions in the home. Encrypted cloud services are still used when needed for speech recognition, current information, entertainment services, cloud-connected devices, and system availability. Davis Audio & Video will explain the proposed system architecture and privacy controls during design.
Which Josh.ai interfaces can be used in a Chicago home?
A project may include the Josh App, Josh Micro, discreet Josh Nano architectural microphones, Josh Touchscreen, Josh Edge handheld control, and an on-site Josh Core or Josh One platform. The right mix depends on room use, interior design, privacy preferences, and the connected systems.
Does Josh.ai require professional installation?
Josh.ai is designed to be specified, installed, and programmed by a home-technology professional. Davis Audio & Video plans the control experience, checks the network and connected systems, places interfaces, programs rooms and scenes, tests commands, and provides homeowner handoff and support.
How much does Josh.ai integration cost?
Cost depends on the number of rooms, interfaces, connected subsystems, existing equipment, network readiness, wiring, programming, and service needs. A focused consultation lets Davis Audio & Video define the scope and provide a project-specific recommendation.
Where does Davis Audio & Video provide Josh.ai integration?
Davis Audio & Video serves the City of Chicago, the North Shore, and the northern and western suburbs, including communities such as Lake Forest, Winnetka, Wilmette, Highland Park, Evanston, Barrington, and Hinsdale.
