Josh AI design starts with the homeowner’s language, the home’s architecture and the automation systems already being planned. Sentry Audio Video coordinates microphones, interfaces, network, lighting, AV and control infrastructure before walls and ceilings close.
Design Voice Control Into the Home
Voice control works best when it is part of the technology plan rather than added after construction. We identify where the family will naturally give commands, where privacy matters most and which spaces need microphones, handheld controls, touch interfaces or app access.
Josh AI Design Scope
- Room-by-room voice and interface planning
- Josh Micro, Nano, One, Core and Edge selection
- Microphone, power and network location coordination
- Control4, Crestron Home, Lutron and Savant integration strategy
- Lighting, shade, AV, climate and security control narratives
- Scene, room and device naming standards
- Network capacity, rack and remote-access planning
- Privacy settings, user roles and household-access strategy
- Pre-wire schedules and construction documentation
Josh Micro and Nano Placement
Room size, ceiling design, background noise and interior finishes affect microphone performance. Josh Micro offers flexible placement, while Josh Nano is designed for discreet architectural integration. We coordinate locations with the architect, interior designer, lighting designer and electrical team so the controls support the design of the room.
Pre-Wire and Infrastructure Planning
New construction and major renovations offer the best opportunity to provide clean power, network connections, conduit and service access. Sentry includes Josh requirements in the broader low-voltage plan so microphones and controllers are not treated as isolated devices.
Design the Commands and Scenes
The physical installation is only one part of the system. We plan how the household refers to rooms, devices and scenes. Consistent language helps Josh interpret requests naturally and reduces conflicts between similar areas, televisions, music zones or lighting scenes.
Coordinate the Underlying Automation Platform
Josh.ai may sit above Control4, Crestron Home, Lutron, Savant and supported connected products. The design must establish which system owns each function, how scenes are triggered and what happens if a device or network component is unavailable. Clear ownership produces dependable behavior.
Privacy and Household Access
We discuss bedroom placement, guest areas, household staff, children, remote users and data preferences during design. The goal is convenient control without placing microphones or permissions where the family does not want them.
Our Josh AI Design Process
- Discovery: Define rooms, users, lifestyle, privacy expectations and control goals.
- Plan review: Coordinate architectural, reflected-ceiling, electrical and millwork drawings.
- System design: Select products, locations, network requirements and integrations.
- Programming narrative: Define rooms, devices, scenes and natural command patterns.
- Trade coordination: Resolve power, cable, finish and installation details before rough-in.
- Field verification: Confirm locations before ceilings and walls are closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should Josh AI be designed into a project?
Ideally before electrical plans, ceilings and millwork are finalized. Early coordination preserves cleaner product locations and better infrastructure options.
Can microphones be visually discreet?
Yes. Josh Nano is designed for architectural installation, and locations can be coordinated with the design team.
Can Josh AI be planned with Lutron shades and lighting?
Yes, when the supported integration and broader control architecture are defined correctly during design.
