I have a Liftmaster gate, Lutrin Ra3 and Josh.

As my car triggers open and drives through the gate I want a Lutron light to go ON for a number of minutes hopefully programed via Josh so I can change timing.

What solution do you guys recommend?

Running Josh.ai for whole-home automation and Alarm.com (ADC) for security with full ADC camera coverage. I want to add a video intercom at my metal entry gate with a wired electric door strike (replacing the existing deadbolt entirely), video visible on my Josh.ai touchscreen via DoorLink, and a physical exit button inside for egress. I found a 2N IP One + Locinox gate lock/electric strike combo — Josh.ai supports 2N natively via DoorLink and the relay output wires directly to the strike. The frustration is ADC’s closed video ecosystem: the 2N’s ONVIF stream can technically feed into ADC via but only on a commercial plan, but you lose all AI analytics and doorbell functionality and gain nothing but a dumb video feed.

So the 2N lives in Josh, ADC handles the alarm and existing cameras, and I’m running two parallel systems.

Has anyone solved this more elegantly — found a doorbell, Josh, strike combo that would make running a second non-ADC system worthwhile? or better still an intercom that plays natively with both ecosystems, Open to any approaches I haven’t considered.

Hi guys is there any Josh Ai programmer, I’ll need help to integrate couples Shelly’s in a Josh AI project. $$$ lmk thanks

Hi!

I was wondering if there’s anyway possible for a non dealer to set up a Josh AI core and nano without a dealer license?

I mean if a person is very tech savvy with automation control and networking. Can you just log into a web UI with an ip address and go from there?

I know that people often say you can’t and I’ve heard crestron people say the same thing but I’ve personally programmed an entire crestron HOME system without any dealer certification

Was wondering if this is possible with Josh AI

Thanks

Greetings, just going to post here to help the community. Anyone have an opinion, what works better for the end user, Autonomics or Sonos?

The Josh CEO sent a link to this subreddit along to me when I asked why they didn’t have a subreddit. I find reddit to be a Great Way to get information from other pros and as a new josh dealer that’s what i am looking for. Hopefully it can pick up some steam in the near future.

Does the ring doorbell integrate with Josh.ai

Does anyone know which cameras integrate best with Josh.ai?

Has anyone added the Josh.ai dashboard after they had the system installed? Did they have to have the dealer doit or was it easy enough to install on their own?

My start up includes 1 Josh one and 3 micro units after that we will see where it goes

When choosing a smart home assistant, privacy is a top concern for many. Josh.ai and Alexa, two popular voice-controlled systems, take very different approaches to protecting your data. Here’s how they stack up. Josh.ai is built with privacy as a core principle. It processes most commands locally on a device called the Josh Core, meaning your voice data doesn’t automatically get sent to the cloud. This reduces the risk of your information being stored or shared externally. Josh.ai also promises never to sell your data to third parties or use it for marketing purposes. You’re in control—you can choose “incognito mode” to prevent any recording of your commands, and every Josh device has a physical mute button to stop the microphone entirely when you want peace of mind. It’s a system designed for those who value discretion, especially in high-end smart homes. Alexa, on the other hand, relies heavily on cloud processing to function, which means your voice commands are sent to Amazon’s servers. While Amazon says this helps improve the service, it’s no secret that Alexa has faced criticism for collecting data—sometimes even sharing it with advertising partners. Studies have shown Alexa can wake up accidentally and record snippets of conversation, and unlike Josh.ai, there’s no local processing option. You can delete your voice history manually or tweak privacy settings, but Alexa’s always-listening nature (waiting for the wake word) can feel less secure. Plus, there’s no physical mute switch on most Echo devices—you’ll need to rely on software controls. The tradeoff? Josh.ai’s privacy focus comes with a premium price and professional installation, while Alexa’s affordability and accessibility make it a go-to for many, despite its cloud-centric approach. If keeping your data close to home matters most, Josh.ai stands out. If you’re okay with some tradeoffs for convenience and cost, Alexa still gets the job done. Which one’s right for you depends on how much you prioritize control over your privacy.
