Crestron Home Clients Can Control Content by Voice With Josh.ai

Crestron Home clients can now control AV content using Josh.ai natural voice commands without the need for a professional integrator to program scenes or quick actions, emailed the voice control company Tuesday. Josh.ai will be able to communicate with a home’s devices and find “specific content with compatible service providers,” said the company. An installer is required for authorization of the Crestron Home hub and AV distribution; after both authorization steps are completed, Josh.ai auto-populates compatible devices programmed within Crestron Home’s interface, said the company. The voice engine also works natively with Crestron Home’s lights, shades, thermostats, locks, scenes and quick actions.
