Your home, in
your own words.
Not just another voice assistant — Josh.ai is a private, purpose-built control system for lighting, climate, entertainment, shades, and security. Just speak.
A voice assistant that answers only to you.
Unlike Google or Amazon, Josh.ai is built specifically to control the home — and to protect it. It understands natural, complex commands across lighting, climate, entertainment, and security, and it keeps your data private, processed locally rather than sold or marketed to third parties.
As your smart-home partner, HTE designs Josh.ai around how your household actually lives — so control feels effortless, not technical.
Built for the way a home is actually lived in.
Privacy & Security
Micro only listens for "OK Josh," then shows a rainbow animation so you know it's awake. You control how much data is used — nothing is sold or marketed.
Natural Voice Commands
No memorized phrases. Speak conversationally — including compound commands — and Josh adapts to how you talk over time.
Room Awareness
Josh knows which room you're in. "Turn on the lights" just works — no naming the room you're already standing in.
Always Learning
Regular over-the-air updates keep Josh getting smarter — new functionality, pattern-based suggestions, and proactive alerts.
Custom
Tailored to your household — choose voices and accents, and Josh understands any number of nicknames for devices, rooms, and scenes.
Design
Josh Micro blends into any luxury space in Carrera White or Onyx Black, with a far-field mic array and a capacitive LED touch dial for manual control.
The voice layer over your entire system.
Josh.ai doesn't replace your control system — it sits on top of it, giving you natural-language command of everything HTE designs and installs.
Lighting & Scenes
Set the right light in any room, or call a whole scene, by name.
Motorized Shades
Raise, lower, and group shades without reaching for a remote.
Climate
Adjust temperature and zones by voice, room by room.
Audio & Video
Start music, change sources, and control volume across the home.
Home Theater
Dim the lights, drop the screen, and begin the film in one command.
Security & Access
Lock up, check the door, and arm the home as you head out.
Works alongside Control4 and Savant — unifying the systems you already have under a single, natural voice.
Questions, answered.
Is Josh always listening?
No. The Micro only wakes when it hears "OK Josh," then shows a rainbow animation so you know it's active. Processing happens locally, and you control how much data is used — nothing is sold or marketed to third parties.
Does Josh replace my Control4 or Savant system?
No — Josh is the voice layer that works alongside Control4 and Savant, unifying the systems you already have rather than replacing them.
What can Josh actually control?
Lighting, motorized shades, climate, entertainment and audio/video, home theater, and security — essentially everything connected in your home, by natural voice command.
What does the Josh Micro look like?
It's designed to disappear into a luxury interior, available in Carrera White or Onyx Black, with a far-field microphone array and a capacitive LED touch dial for manual control.
Do you install and support it?
Yes. HTE designs, installs, and programs Josh.ai around how your household lives, and supports it long-term through ExpertCare.
