The Josh.ai artificial intelligence grows further through integration with the Lutron HomeWorks QSX processor, allowing users to seamlessly control devices such as Ketra lights through the power of their voice.

After a button press authenticates the QSX processor, Josh.ai uses the Lutron LEAP integration protocol to automatically pull in Lutron floor plan configurations and device programming. The instant discovery and control of Lutron devices expedites the implementation process. Supported devices within native Josh.ai control include Ketra (Clear Connect-- Type X), dimmable lights, switched loads, shades, fans and keypads. A future update will include thermostat compatibility.

Josh.ai claims the result brings an "unmatched" level of convenience for customers. Commands such as "Ok Josh, make the lights cooler" and "Ok Josh, turn the sconces to 2100 Kelvin" bring a "limitless" range of possibilities, especially when combined into complex requests like "Ok Josh, make the lights on the first floor tangerine, draw the living room shades and listen to Carlos Santana in the dining room.”

“Lutron’s innovations continue to inspire, particularly in the areas of aesthetics and convenience,” the company says. “Our device integrations and complementary products are extremely important as we recommend solutions for luxury clients who want robust performance as well as reliability. Our goal with Josh.ai is to deliver a magical experience, and we’re thrilled that our partnership with Lutron provides such a dynamic element to that vision.”
