Purpose

This overview serves as the SmartHomeConcierge.ai master reference for the Josh.ai ecosystem. It provides a comprehensive summary of products, platform features, mobile app capabilities, AI voice control, whole-home automation, lighting, entertainment, climate control, security, motorized shades, energy management, privacy features, firmware management, connected devices, and common configuration categories used by SmartHomeConcierge.ai technicians when assisting customers and creating device-specific configuration articles.

Josh.ai® is a premium artificial intelligence platform designed specifically for professionally installed luxury smart homes.
