Imagine using natural language commands, as though you are talking to a friend, to turn off lights, open drapes, put on the Rolling Stones…
Enter Josh.ai! Josh is a voice-controlled home automation system designed to orchestrate the technology in all aspects of your home to deliver an exciting and effortless living experience. Like Siri , Alexa or Google, Josh is designed to support natural language voice commands. But, unlike the voice-controlled systems, Josh is private and secure.
The “Internet Of Things” we have in our homes is constantly growing from your thermostat to your lighting and entertainment devices. Each of these that are network connected have an APP that controls them. You ability to reach them and control them varies and is sometimes frustrating. With Joah.ai, all of these devices come under your voice command as well as under the Josh.ai APP.
You maybe thinking, if i have an APP for each one, why have voice control? One of the challenges to building a fully automated house, particularly one that grows and evolves over time, is the ability to program with ease. In theory it’s great if your sprinklers turn off when it rains, or if the lights go on at sunset, but these actions today take a skilled programmer many hours to assemble. Compare that to asking a friend to turn off the lights or put on the Coldplay station. Now imagine if that friend had a perfect memory, was reliable, didn’t mind multitasking, and only needed to be asked once. In essence, that’s the promise of voice. Using natural language commands as though talking to a friend, Josh can be taught with ease. Even complicated queries can be effortlessly programmed, such as, “At sunrise if I’m home slowly fade the bedroom lights on, open the drapes, turn on the radio, and brew a pot of coffee.” At Josh.ai, they believe programming should be as natural as chatting with a friend, and this capability is essential to a truly connected house.
The end goal of Josh.ai in your home is to make it easy and fun to connect to any device, from any device. Josh is a conversational agent aware of your surroundings with an effort to make predictive suggestions. Josh is a voice-based OS that seamlessly connects to your smartphone, smartwatch, and other connected gadgets in order to be always ready and always aware. The result will be decreased cognitive load, providing for more time to be with the people you care about and spend time doing the things you love. The Josh.ai goal is to make it the personal assistant you never knew you needed. Keep your life simple and easy!
I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away
Home Automation
We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.
Home Theater
They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!
Home Automation
These guys are simply amazing! Terrific on all fronts – knowledge/experience with technology, creative, and most importantly, enormously responsive! They implemented a fantastic home entertainment, network, security and lighting solution that is state-of-the-art and cost efficiently designed for what we need. Eric (the founder) and his team (Curt, Jeff, and Hector) are invariably available (they respond within minutes, even on the weekend) to resolve issues. Their service is simply “five star!”

Sound and Vision has been servicing our Crestron system at our home since 2008. ALL their service techs that have worked in my home since the beginning are still with the company. They are professional, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable on all technical issues.
Also, any need for emergency calls they are always quick to respond. It is a pleasure working with Eric, Josie, and the entire staff!

After a detailed search, my husband and I chose Sound and Vision to install and manage our audio visual, lighting and smart drapes into our newly built home. They have far exceeded our expectations! And three years in, they continue to exceed our expectations! We cannot say enough amazing things about Josie, Eric, Jeff and their entire staff!
