In an effort to cater to our clientele wielding iPhones and iPads, the primary focus at Josh.ai has revolved around perfecting the Josh App on iOS for the best smart home control experience possible. However, our vision extends far beyond the confines of one operating system, and today, we are excited to announce the official launch of the new Josh App 5.0 for Android!

Over the last year, our team has devoted the time and resources necessary to develop the Android of the Josh App. We are proud to share that it encapsulates the same robust functionality and user-friendly experience that our iOS users have come to know and love. We are thrilled to unleash the dynamic Josh App for Android into the wild, opening up a world of possibilities for more of our customers.

While there is still some fine-tuning ahead to reach parity with its iOS counterpart, rest assured that the Josh App on Android is more than capable of performing all the essential tasks available on the iOS version. Josh App on Android mirrors iOS in nearly every way, granting you seamless control over your smart home, from lights and thermostats to music and more.

Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect as you navigate through the Josh App on Android:

Home Screen

Upon launching the Josh App, you’ll be greeted by the Home Intelligence Dashboard that provides an at-a-glance overview of your home’s active devices and proactive recommendations.

Dashboard View

Dive deeper into the heart of your smart home with custom dashboards where you can effortlessly personalize access to all your favorite devices, areas, and scenes.

Areas

In the areas section, you can efficiently manage devices assigned to rooms and larger spaces. Although sliders for precise lighting and shading control at the top of each room’s view are not available yet (they are currently in testing), you can access full-featured controller within individual device tiles.

Scenes

Scenes empower you to set the perfect mood throughout your smart home for any occasion. Simply activate a scene by pressing the tile in the app, as well as through voice commands and conditional automation. For example, scenes can be triggered when any device changes state, the weather conditions change, or is scheduled for a specific day and time. Please note that while in-app scene creation is available for iOS, it is in progress for Android.

Device Controllers

Gain complete control over your smart devices through our brand-new Android application, offering the same device-level functionality as the iOS experience you are familiar with. This feature-rich experience encompasses a wide range of devices, including but not limited to:

  • Josh Device Settings
  • Lights
  • Thermostat
  • Shades
  • Music
  • TV
  • Switches
  • Garage Doors
  • Locks
  • Fans
  • Fireplaces

Note: Surveillance in the Cameras tile is the only device controller that has not yet been updated in the Josh App for Android.

As we move forward in providing a full home control solution for every customer, our team is excited to have the Josh App on Android alongside its iOS counterpart to cater to the diverse needs of our clientele. With a commitment to constant improvement and exceeding expectations, we look forward to delivering an exceptional smart home experience to all our users across mobile devices.

The Josh App on Android is now available for download, bringing the power of effortless home control to your fingertips. Join us in embracing the future of smart living!
