Deako and Josh.ai have announced a new partnership that makes connected lighting easier to access and automate across living spaces. The integration allows builders and integrators to pair Deako’s lighting infrastructure with Josh.ai’s modern control products to deliver automation without the complexity or cost of legacy high-end systems.
Homes can now be built “AI-ready” using standard wiring and Deako backplates, with advanced automation added seamlessly when desired.
With the Deako and Josh.ai integration, Deako Smart Switches and Dimmers connect to the local network, where the Josh.ai processor automatically discovers lighting loads and creates the home’s floorplan for further customization. With Josh.ai, homeowners can control lights however is easiest using touch, text, or natural voice commands. The Josh App, Josh Edge remote, and all Josh.ai interfaces provide two-way feedback ensuring the system always reflects the current state of each Deako switch.
Unlike cloud-dependent voice assistants, Josh.ai and Deako communicate locally within the home, delivering instant response times, continued operation during internet outages, and a privacy-first experience.
