Josh.ai: Privacy First

Josh.ai stands apart from traditional voice assistants by focusing specifically on smart home use and data privacy. Unlike mass-market options, Josh does not use client information for marketing or sell data to third parties. Its primary commitment is delivering a secure, personalized smart home experience. Actions and conversations behind closed doors remain confidential, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners.

Microphone Privacy

Josh listens only when explicitly activated using wake words like “Ok Josh,” “Ok Home,” or “Hey Micro.” This means that your privacy remains protected unless you actively engage the assistant. Josh hardware is finely tuned to minimize accidental activations, further safeguarding privacy.

Secure, Transparent Access

Josh empowers homeowners with strict access controls. Each user undergoes a secure setup process requiring strong passwords and defined user roles. Authentication is mandatory for app access via smartphones or tablets, providing secure, personalized interactions.

Proactive Data Security

Josh Core processes data locally—covering natural language commands, device discovery, and logs—significantly reducing exposure to external security risks. Clients can also permanently delete their command history at any time, retaining full control over their data. While this enhances privacy, deleting history can affect Josh’s ability to optimize your home experience and support troubleshooting.

AI Learning with Control

Josh.ai offers optional AI Learning, allowing it to enhance functionality based on your interaction patterns. Disabling AI Learning does not impair basic functionality but limits personalization, offering homeowners a choice that aligns with their privacy preferences.

Seamless Integration with Lutron Lighting

Lutron's sophisticated lighting solutions, including RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks, pair perfectly with Josh.ai’s voice control. Together, they offer intuitive commands to effortlessly manage lighting scenes. Simply say, “Josh, set the evening scene,” and lights adjust automatically, creating the perfect ambiance securely and privately.
