Not modern AI
Josh was cool 4 years ago. It has not kept up with the latest AI capabilities. It can’t create scenes from a chat based on your habits or even all the lights it knows about in one room. It’s natural language processing fails to recognize simple commands and often asks for clarification. For example, it has zero memory and can’t tell that a device might be called different things by different people in the house.
Lately, the app completely fails to load my home. It opens fine but just sits there and none of my devices, rooms or anything show up.
You’re better off standing up Home Assistant and attaching an MCP connected to your favorite AI provider like Claude. With real AI closed systems like Josh are dying. I no longer need the expertise of an integrator. That requirement is now just a way to keep the system proprietary and locked in because I can’t use it with anything else.

Home Automation A Tier Above
Me and my family use our Josh.ai system everyday and love it. It enhances how we interact with our home and we are always finding ourselves interacting in new ways. From using the built in chatGPT to being able to create our own customized scenes, Josh is the best control system we have owned. We can’t wait to see how Josh continues to evolve!!

Best Ever
This app is the best ever. No more messy control systems apps are needed. Very simple to use and looks amazing
Very easy to use!
This app is so easy to use and not intimidating like other home control apps. Nice job!
Amazing!!!
Amazing home automation interface. Requires hardware and license for the app to integrate, but such an amazing product. Very happy!
Love the System
This is the future. Cutting edge tech with elegant looks. I am so happy with my system!
One of the best Home Control Apps available!
Such an elegant, modern and easy to use interface. Quick access to all things in your home with Voice control and the power of GPT built right in! Users even have the ability to create their own custom scenes directly in the app! A+ win from the Josh team!
Awesome and initiative app
I have switched from using the Control4 iOS app to Josh.ai for about 7 months. It is far superior from an end user experience. The app is quite flexible, visually stunning and well aligned with their other UI form factors (remotes).
The app is readily updated multiple times per month based upon customer feedback and internally driven priorities which is refreshing compared to some others I have used for extensive periods of times and testing.
Lastly, the ability to create, test and save scenes in seconds/minutes is a game-changer. This function has made the app and the system in my home much more engaging and pleasing to use.

Is Josh learning from me, or is it teaching me?
I like voice control and automation dealer said it works well with Lutron HomeWorks and Control 4. The dealer didn’t program the levels of the home in accordance with Lutron HW. Josh doesn’t allow the names to be changed. So identifying devices and rooms are not consistent across devices.
I have programmed some commands, which is cool and instructs Lutron devices. The bummer is Josh doesn’t consistently communicate the commands. This is especially true with shades controlled.
As for music, I find it confusing and even though I have Control 4 and Sonos, I don’t ever do music with Josh.
I do like how it works with lighting and levels.

Easy, elegant and powerful home control!
My entire family loves this app. We can control our homes from anywhere in the world, and easily switch between them. I love that I can create powerful scenes to make things magically happen based on time of day or any device within the home, such as a light or TV turning on.
Love the app, Music control needs work
This is a great app that makes controlling the home easy and intuitive. My only issue with it is controlling music and zones, it is very confusing and unintuitive compared to the likes of Sonos and others. If they improve this part of the interface, it’s a 5 star in my book.
New Update Not Great
Pretty smooth app overall, had a nice interface. With the most recent app though they moved the buttons near the top of the screen from the bottom. No idea why they would do that cause now you have to reach up with another hand to select the rooms or scenes unless you want to swipe 3-4 times. Just bad app design, it was fine before.

Industry Leading Application
Seamless control of all my smart home devices. Absolutely in love with the new UI!
Great Update!
New update makes a great control platform even better! It’s a natural extension of the voice control capability Josh delivers and puts all the items you need access to most, right at your fingertips with quick access.
Move over Alexa
Alexa has nothing on Josh. Finally a voice-control smart home system that does what it should. Beautiful UI design, super easy to use and privacy focused. Reach out to your local Josh.ai Dealer for a demo. You'll love this
Just What We Needed
Have some very specific lifestyle controls that needed simplifying, and Josh handles them beautifully!!
