Josh.ai Is the Voice Assistant You Can Trust for Your Control4 Smart Home

Control4 homeowners have many options for controlling their smart home, from apps and touchscreens to wall keypads and remotes. An even simpler option is voice control, which Control4 makes possible through integration with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Josh.ai.

Recently, we celebrated the newly expanded partnership between Control4 and Josh.ai, which makes it easier for Control4 homeowners to enjoy Josh.ai’s advanced, natural, and contextually aware voice automation technology no matter how simple or complex their Control4 home automation system.

Still, the most critical feature that makes Josh.ai the best voice assistant for Control4 homeowners is its strong focus on privacy. Below, learn five ways Josh.ai leads in privacy-focused voice control.

1. Josh.ai Never Shares Your Information or Data

Unlike other voice assistants, Josh.ai doesn’t gather or distribute your personal information for marketing purposes. Additionally, Josh.ai will never sell your data to third parties. Instead, Josh.ai uses your information solely to provide you with the best smart home experience possible.

2. Josh.aiPrioritizes Local Processing

Josh.ai processes everything it can on the local network rather than sending commands to the cloud to grant you a more private home automation experience and peace of mind. However, if for some reason local processing isn’t an option, then Josh.ai will access the cloud through an encrypted connection.

3. Users Have Full Control Over Their System’s Chat History

Josh.ai gives you complete control of your system’s privacy settings and allows you to monitor, adjust, and delete your chat history at any time. However, keep in mind that Josh.ai uses this data to improve your smart home experience over time, so deleting transcripts could negatively impact that experience.

4. Users Can Limit Access for Others

Do you have children or frequently host guests? You might not want them to have access to all your smart home devices and scenes. Josh.ai allows you to create unique user profiles that limit access to certain smart home functionality so that they can control only what you feel comfortable with.

5. Users Can Physically DisconnectJosh Nano’s Microphones

Popular voice control systems claim to listen only when the wake word is used, but how reliable is that claim? News stories have told us otherwise. On the flip side, Josh.ai allows users to physically disconnect their Josh Nanos by sliding a switch on the architectural microphone. Users can also mute their Josh Micros by tapping the touch dial or mute all their devices from anywhere with the Josh.ai mobile app.
