Josh.ai, the leader in AI-powered smart home control, is launching native support for DMX and DALI lighting protocols. The release significantly expands the modern automation platform’s ecosystem, empowering professional installers with a wide range of solutions to design sophisticated lighting experiences.
The initial launch includes support for DMF and Nicolaudie gateways, enabling Josh.ai to seamlessly control a broader range of architectural lighting systems across its intuitive voice, touch, and text interfaces. By embracing the industry’s most widely adopted commercial and architectural lighting standards, Josh.ai is providing dealers and lighting designers unprecedented flexibility to specify the right fixtures for every project without compromising on whole-home control.
“The future of the smart home is not about limiting designers and installers to a predefined set of technologies. It is about giving them the freedom to create extraordinary spaces while technology simply brings everything together. Native DMX and DALI support is another step toward that future, expanding what’s possible for our dealers while making every home feel simpler, more intuitive, and more magical for the people who live there.” Alex Capecelatro, CEO, Josh.ai.
In partnership with DMF Lighting, Josh.ai is bringing intelligent control to one of the industry’s leading architectural lighting manufacturers. The integration includes support for DMF’s new enhanced PhaseX gateway, which supports PhaseX downlights and linear fixtures. DMF users will be able to precisely adjust light brightness, tunable white, colour temperature, and access advanced lighting scenes directly with Josh.ai. Together, Josh.ai and DMF are pairing award-winning architectural fixtures and home control to deliver beautifully illuminated environments.
Josh.ai’s partnership with Nicolaudie brings dynamic lighting control through the company’s industry-leading Dina DR1, Dina DR2, and Dina SR1 controllers. Support for dimming, colour control, and lighting effects is available at launch, while color temperature adjustments, for compatible fixtures, will be introduced in a forthcoming Nicolaudie firmware update to further enhance the integration’s flexibility and performance.
Support for DMX and DALI dramatically expands installation possibilities across luxury residential projects for custom installers. Across dedicated media rooms, outdoor entertainment spaces, accenting architectural details, and implementing whole-home human-centric lighting, dealers now have a wide range of solutions to choose from.
The addition of these protocols provides lighting designers with greater creative freedom. Rather than being constrained by control platform compatibility, designers can specify the fixtures that best achieve their creative vision while relying on Josh.ai to unify lighting with shading, entertainment, climate, security, and more of the connected home. The result is a seamless experience where beautiful design blends seamlessly with technology.
For homeowners, expanded lighting support translates into a more immersive and personalised living experience. Dynamic architectural lighting, tunable white illumination, and colour-changing fixtures are now more accessible than ever with Josh.ai’s home intelligence. Clients will enjoy simple control and customisation in the Josh App, along with the freedom to use natural language when adjusting their lights. For example, with commands like “Ok Josh, set the lights to 3000 kelvin” or “Hey Josh, make the lights the colour of the northern lights.”
The introduction of DMX and DALI support also marks the beginning of a rapidly expanding ecosystem of fixture manufacturers joining the Josh.ai platform. Compatibility with these protocols introduces Josh.ai integration with leading lighting providers, including American Lighting, Axion, Colorbeam, and many more, giving dealers access to an increasingly diverse portfolio of premium lighting solutions.
As Josh.ai continues to grow its lighting ecosystem, dealers can expect ongoing support for additional fixtures and gateways. This continued expansion will further simplify specifying lighting systems for any project, no matter its size or complexity. With native DMX and DALI integration, Josh.ai is reinforcing its commitment to delivering a custom platform that empowers installers with freedom of choice while giving homeowners access to the most advanced lighting experiences available in the luxury smart home. Josh.ai is excited to invite the custom installation community to see more in person at CEDIA Expo in September!
