As the only third party microphone currently compatible with Josh.ai, the Crestron TSR-310 remote integration provides a similar experience to talking to a room-aware Josh Micro. Conveniently press the microphone button on the remote, speak naturally, and let Josh take care of the rest.

An environment is designed so that its beauty comes to life and alters depending on the mood of its beholders. Josh.ai’s control of Crestron lighting empowers homeowners to efficiently transform their space with natural voice commands and touch action control like never before.

• “Ok Josh, turn off the lights in the kitchen."
• “Ok Josh, it’s too bright on the first floor."
• “Ok Josh, raise the lights in the foyer, dining room, and family room.”

The natural beauty of daylight evokes an emotional response. Colors read true, finishes reveal their texture, and an uplifting quality pervades any room bathed in its natural ambiance. Josh.ai’s control of Crestron shading systems provides effortless and precise control of daylight.

• “Ok Josh, raise the shades 30%"
• “Ok Josh, close the blackouts at 10pm"
• "Ok Josh, bring up the blinds a little bit"

Heating and cooling accounts for nearly half of a home’s energy consumption. Josh.ai's control of Crestron thermostats, as well as proactive recommendations geared towards resource management, help homeowners live more efficiently.

• "OK Josh, turn the living room thermostat to 70 degrees."
• "OK Josh, I’m warm."
• “OK Josh, it’s too chilly on the first floor.”

Crestron Home AV

In order to support Crestron Home AV distribution, Josh.ai will require a second authorization token that is set by the integrator. This additional token is the same one that is currently used for Crestron Home touchpads and remotes. Once both tokens are authorized, Josh.ai will begin auto-populating all compatible devices that have already been programmed within Crestron Home’s interface. For AV distribution, Josh.ai will map the floor plan of the project with all known media zones and their corresponding content sources.

Crestron SIMPL AV

Once the SIMPL AV Room and Source modules have been programmed, Josh.ai will automatically know what AV sources are accessible in each area of the home. This hardware agnostic approach allows Josh.ai to seamlessly support any system design no matter the complexity or components. As long as Crestron is the routing backbone, Josh.ai will be able to communicate from endpoint to endpoint. The interface has been designed with dealer feedback and guidance, allowing installers to set up complicated distributed AV workflows accurately and efficiently, without re-doing their original programming.

The end result enables the user experience of walking into a theater, and asking, “OK Josh, watch Mad Men.” Josh.ai understands the request is coming from the theater, utilizes a knowledge graph to find Mad Men on Netflix, determines which AV source can provide that content, informs Crestron to route that source, activate the video environment, and -- like magic -- Mad Men starts playing!
