Crestron Home clients can now enjoy, intuitive control of their AV content using natural voice commands.Josh.ai received exclusive development access to expand its audio and video distribution capabilities to Crestron Home systems. Crestron Home customers can enjoy intuitive control of their AV content using voice commands. All performing without requiring a professional installer to pre-program scenes or quick actions.
A hardware-agnostic approach allows Josh.ai to support any system design, no matter the complexity or specific brands that are installed. While Crestron Home acts as the control backbone, Josh.ai will be able to communicate with a home’s devices, using its intelligence to find specific content with compatible service providers.
Josh.ai announced the deployment of Crestron Home projects. Integrators will continue to follow the same process as was previously used with one addition.
After connecting to the network, Josh.ai requires the authorization of the Crestron Home hub. A second authorization token is now needed to support AV distribution, set by the installer. After both authorization steps are taken, Josh.ai will begin auto-populating all compatible devices programmed within Crestron Home’s interface. In addition to AV source distribution, Josh.ai natively works with Crestron Home’s lights, shades, thermostats, locks, scenes, and quick actions.
In addition to the convenience of voice automation, users will interact with Josh.ai’s stance as a privacy-focused assistant dedicated to the smart home. Clients benefit from the peace of mind that Josh.ai is committed to providing an elegant experience without selling or leveraging customer data for marketing purposes.
