Lighting Intelligence Controller:
AI X OS introduces the Josh App’s completely redesigned Lighting Intelligence Controller with a suite of advanced features to elevate every moment with precise lighting. A new color selector allows for granular adjustments across a limitless palette of hues and tunable whites, giving users full creative control over the mood and ambiance in their living spaces. Customizable lighting effects elevate and transform the ambiance in every room with dynamic color patterns and engaging animations. Users can easily create a relaxing atmosphere with soft hues or energize a space with vibrant animations to suit any occasion.
Hands-free lighting convenience is also taken a step further, courtesy of JoshGPT, enabling clients with the ability to describe a color or motif to set any vibe like, “Hey Josh, set the lights to the colors of the Northern Lights” or “Hey Josh, make the lights energizing.”
The Lighting Intelligence Controller includes circadian light matching to adjust light brightness and color temperature to align with natural human rhythms, promoting wellbeing and optimizing comfort. In addition to its range of light color, tuning, and effects capabilities, the Josh App is also adding contextual light grouping. Users are able to dynamically organize lights by room, area, or fixture-type for harmonious control while making complex lighting activations simple.
AI Scenes:
The debut of AI Scenes takes proactive personalization to the next level by intelligently suggesting automations tailored to each user’s environment. Inspired by frequently utilized daily routines like Good Morning, Relax, and Entertain, AI Scenes generate popular automations with a home’s integrated devices or upon request to set the mood for any occasion. These curated recommendations are instantly available in the Josh App for further refinement if desired, simplifying smart home setup while introducing clients to meaningful automations they may not have considered adding before. The result is an optimized living experience, offering new and exciting value for homeowners who have previously had challenges creating their own custom scenes.
CustomDash:
AI X OS features a reimagined Interactive Home Page in the Josh App. The customizable dashboard allows users to pin their preferred devices, areas, and scenes as widgets for effortless access. Enhancements include a personalizable background photo, modern design, and simplified navigation to make the experience as visually striking as it is intuitive. Clients will stay informed with real-time alerts, the ability to monitor active devices, and engage with their scheduled automation hub. CustomDash equips every user with a personalized, powerful control center with access to what matters most.
Advanced AV Distribution 2.0:
AI X OS expands Josh.ai’s ability to connect and synchronize media sources throughout the smart home with the launch of AV over IP support. Josh.ai is announcing integration with AVPro’s MXNet and Dante to elevate professional-grade installations with an elegant unified layer of control that is as sophisticated as the systems it supports. Bridging these powerful protocols with Josh.ai’s intuitive touch, text, and voice interfaces empowers clients like never before to enjoy a low-latency experience while routing high-fidelity audio and premium video anywhere in the home.
Conveniently managed through the Josh App’s video controller, Josh.ai remotes, Josh Touchscreen, or with a simple voice command like, “Hey Josh, listen to the living room TV in the kitchen,” this functionality ensures a cohesive and flexible entertainment experience everywhere a client would like to leverage their multi-zone environment.
Camera Capture:
Building off of the security and surveillance features launched in AI OS, AI X OS expands Josh.ai’s home-monitoring capabilities with its Camera Capture update. Users are able to enjoy peace of mind with their Josh.ai system acting as a sentry that intelligently detects, records, and notifies them of important activity from integrated surveillance systems. Whether there is motion at the front door, a visitor approaching the gate, or unexpected activity around the property, Josh.ai captures and logs these events with time-stamped video snippets for quick review.
By combining event detection with Josh Vision’s camera analysis, users can simply ask, “analyze the front door camera?” to instantly view relevant footage in the Josh App and receive a detailed description of what took place. With this feature, Josh.ai seamlessly integrates self-monitored security into a complete smart home experience.
