Josh.ai, the Voice Assistant Built for Home Automation 

Voice control is fun and handy—until your voice assistant responds, “Sorry, I didn’t get that.” You repeat yourself louder, and it still doesn’t understand. You may then think, Ugh, I’ll just go turn off the lights myself. 

And then there’s the privacy issue. One minute, you’re talking to your spouse about how you need new sunglasses, and the next minute, ads for sunglasses start popping up while you browse the internet. Creepy! 

If only there were a voice assistant that clearly understood you and didn’t spy on your conversations…Well, actually, there is! 

Josh.ai is a relative newcomer in the voice control world, but it’s making a great name for itself. Josh was created specifically for home automation and can seamlessly respond to your natural speech patterns, performing tasks like turning on lights, closing shades, playing music, queueing up a TV show, and locking doors. 

Read on to discover what makes Josh.ai the cleverest voice assistant for your home automation system. And to learn more about smart technology for your Highland Park, TX home, subscribe to our free monthly newsletter. 

Protect Your Electronics with Surge Protection & Power Conditioned Outputs 

If you’ve invested in a luxury home theater, smart home technology, and other electronics, you want them to last forever. So, there’s nothing worse than, after a year or so, watching your devices lose steam and start to malfunction. You might wonder, Do manufacturers purposefully make equipment quit so soon? 

While not all technology is made equal, high-end brands like Control4, Crestron, Savant, Klipsch, and Sony, for example, should last. It may not be your equipment causing problems, but instead, your power. 

How can electricity cause issues? Well, there’s such a thing as ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ power, and if you’re experiencing surges and noise, it could be damaging your technology. 

Luckily, power management solutions can significantly extend your devices’ lifespans. Below, we share tried-and-true solutions that we can apply to your McKinney, TX home. And if you’d like to learn more about home technology, sign up for our monthly newsletter here!
