The value of Josh inside the home is undeniable. However, we believe that Josh can have an equal or greater impact in several other spaces aside from just the home.

Josh scenes allow our clients to customize their Josh system for any particular purpose. This means that Josh is able to accommodate a wide-range of needs and individuals from senior citizens who have trouble with every day activities to teenagers that are a bit more active.

In addition, our clients remain our number one priority and so our business and engineering teams actively work together on making sure that we are always prioritizing improvements based on our clients’ needs.

We’ve therefore curated a list of the top 5 places where we see Josh being installed that have a major impact.

It is a well known fact that as people get older, it gets more difficult for them to get around. Even simple tasks like getting up to turn off the lights pose as a major hurdle. It’s also a well accepted notion that today’s older generation has a more difficult time interacting with technology.

Josh helps senior citizens regain control of their lives again with just the power of their voice. Josh can have everything turned off and ready for bedtime in a matter of seconds. Need help flipping through channels? Josh has that under control for you.

In addition to the benefits for senior citizens, Josh alleviates some stress and work for the nurses — setting reminders to give pills to a patient or announcing to all the senior citizens that “it is dinner time.”

Josh will automatically transform and give any space an elegant feeling and its users a luxurious experiences.

Josh is designed to be easy-to-use so that any person unfamiliar with Josh is able to use it. Simply say “OK Josh,” and you will have everything, from the shades to the thermostat to the lights to the television, under your control.

Better yet, Josh scenes allows users to customize their system so that Josh can handle multiple actions with a single command, making leaving the room or getting ready for bed easy.

Josh will make any rental space stand out among the rest. Not only is voice control incentivizing, but Josh’s interface is also easy to use and easily customizable to fit each user’s preferences and needs.

People listing their homes or apartments can also limit and set their renter’s control and access to certain micros, as well as with the mobile app.

Josh was created in hopes of making people’s lives easier. For people that are immobile and bed-bound in the hospital because of injury or illness, just say “OK Josh,” and Josh will help you with whatever you need. If users have a difficult time speaking, Josh is also equipped with an easy-to-use iOS app that, for example, would allow them to type out their command to communicate with Josh.

From toggling the lights on/off to flipping through the channels on the television, Josh can help a patient with nearly everything. This lightens the load on nurses, allowing them to give their full and undivided attention to the medical health of their patients. If there’s something that Josh can’t help you with, just get Josh to get hold of the nurse for you.

On top of managing the drastic jump in workload that comes with college, students are also faced with figuring out how to live away from home for the first time. Josh is a personal assistant, always available and ready to help with whatever is needed.

Need an alarm for an 8am class in the morning? “OK Josh, wake me up at 8am tomorrow morning.”

Don’t want to forget the laundry in the machine? “OK Josh, set a timer for 30 minutes.”

Running low on time and have an interview to catch? “OK Josh, turn everything off.”

Have a club meeting tonight that you don’t want to forget about? “OK Josh, remind me that I have a meeting to catch at 7PM.”
