Frequently Asked Questions
Josh Certified Dealers, login for additional resources.
Can i change josh's name?
While the default wake phrase for activating Josh’s microphones is "Ok Josh," it can be updated at any time. Josh Micro offers "Ok Home" and "Hey Micro" as options, while Josh Nano systems provide “Nikola” as a single-word alternative. We encourage you to choose whichever option feels most natural. In addition to changing the wake phrase, you may also name your system to add a personal touch. For example, clients with multiple properties can uniquely name each one to help them identify a home within the Josh App. Along with changing a property’s name, users also have the power to adjust the gender and accent of their Josh system’s voice to customize the persona they’re speaking to.
Will josh work with my phone?
Josh works with most Android and iOS phones and tablets. You can also control Josh from any computer using our web dashboard. Whether you’re an iPhone 7s or Galaxy S7 person, Josh will work for you.
Does josh do more beyond smart home control?
In addition to providing a best-in-class home intelligence platform, Josh is a fully capable assistant that can set alarms/timers, calculate math equations, define and spell words, and more! JoshGPT takes intelligent assistance a step further by leveraging the full potential of generative AI. Clients are able to have conversational interactions with JoshGPT so that their questions are not only answered, but they also receive insightful clarifications and conversational feedback. Whether a user is looking for nearby restaurant recommendations, curious about the inspiration behind their favorite songs, or wants help planning the logistics of their upcoming vacation, JoshGPT generates tailored and engaging responses.
Does enabling joshgpt jeopardize my data or privacy?
JoshGPT doesn’t jeopardize any of your data or privacy. It’s an option that you can enable and disable at any time to access generative intelligence. If JoshGPT is disabled, Josh will continue working as a smart home control platform with its included assistant features.
Can i talk to josh when away from home?
Absolutely! One of the most convenient aspects of Josh is the ability to use it from anywhere in the world right from your smartphone. Remotely speak to your home and access JoshGPT's limitless intelligence on-the-go via the voice button in the Josh App.
Does josh have an api?

Josh never interferes with your ability to control your devices directly. You can always operate each individual device with their switches, buttons, app, etc. Josh will never override your ability to have control of your home and peace of mind.

What is Josh?
Josh.ai launched in 2015 as an advanced AI for the custom home and has grown into a complete control solution. Through years of development refining robust integrations, innovative features, and purposeful design, the Josh.ai platform has uniquely laid the groundwork for smart homes going forward. This evolution has culminated in a modern control system that’s ushering in the next era of multi-faceted and intuitive user experiences.
What can users do with the Josh App?
A robust platform for personalization, the Josh App provides seamless control over everything an intelligent home has to offer. Clients enjoy an elegant layout that includes quick access to their system’s settings, custom dashboards, devices, areas, and scenes. In addition to configuring a scene with device-specific adjustments, Josh.ai’s Natural Language Scene Editor empowers all users to simply type or voice dictate a scene’s activations and conditional automations.

Why is your logo a dog?
Much like a dog, Josh is intelligent, responsive, and learns its owner’s commands. Unlike other home control systems that you can’t take on-the-go, or only know one trick, Josh combines all aspects of a smart home AI into a well-trained companion. Josh is a home’s best friend, and always happy to interact with you.
Why is your ai called Josh?
Since Josh is an artificial intelligence you can speak with, we thought it fitting to give it a name that was both friendly and familiar. When you search “Josh” in Google, the first result is from Urban Dictionary which states, “He is a fun loving guy really funny and can make anyone laugh. He is very quiet at first and seems shy but when you get to know him you will fall in love.” With that we thought Josh was a pretty good choice!
Does josh learn?
Josh is constantly improving and evolving via over-the-air software updates. If you enable Josh’s AI Learning feature, it will also begin recommending actions as you use it more based on your living patterns.
If i move, can i take josh with me?
Absolutely! While some clients have sold their homes with Josh as part of the deal, you can easily transfer your system to a new address with the help of your home technology professional.
Does josh work when the internet goes down?
While the majority of processing and control is done locally, Josh requires access to the cloud. If the internet is down, Josh will lose that access and cannot be used until the internet is restored. Note that if your internet is down, you will also not be able to use other network enabled services, such as streaming music through Sonos and watching video content through Roku.
What products does josh support / will josh work with my existing devices?
To date, Josh has focused on integrating with professional solutions and a variety of popular smart home products like Lutron, Sonos, Roku, and Sony. Josh is always adding more devices to its ecosystem so visit our Works With page to see all of Josh’s integrations. Feel free to contact us with specific inquiries as well.
