User reviews

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!!
