Josh AI Home Automation and Voice Control in NYC
Certified Josh Authorized Dealer serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, and Westchester.
Connextivity is a Josh Authorized Dealer, certified in 2026, installing Josh AI voice and app control for high-end apartments, townhouses, and estates across the New York metropolitan area.
Josh runs the systems already in the home. Lighting, motorized shades, climate, audio, video, door locks, and cameras respond to ordinary spoken instructions rather than a wall of separate apps. Josh is sold only through certified dealers, because the value is in how carefully it is set up rather than in the hardware itself.
Josh AI is a voice and app control platform for luxury smart homes, sold only through certified dealers. It runs lighting, shades, climate, audio, video, locks, and cameras from natural spoken commands. Voice is processed on the device in your home rather than sent to a cloud service.
What is Josh AI?
Voice That Handles Ordinary Language
Josh understands full sentences and combinations rather than fixed command phrases. "Turn off the lights downstairs and lock the front door" works as one instruction.
Processing Stays in the Home
Voice commands are handled on the device rather than sent to an outside service. No recordings are passed to Amazon or Google.
Scenes Across Multiple Systems
A single instruction can dim lighting, lower shades, adjust temperature, and start music, because Josh sits above the individual platforms rather than beside them.
Hardware Designed to Disappear
The Josh Nano is an architectural microphone that recesses into ceilings and walls. The Josh Micro is palm-sized. Neither reads as consumer equipment in a finished interior.
A Hardware Privacy Switch
The Josh Nano includes a physical switch that disconnects its microphones. Not a software setting, an actual break in the circuit.
Josh AI Installation in New York City
Josh System Design
Room and zone planning, microphone placement, and scene design based on how the home is actually used.
Platform Integration
Connecting Josh to Lutron lighting and shading, Sonos audio, door locks, thermostats, and camera systems already installed.
Josh depends on the network underneath it. We assess and, where needed, rebuild the wireless coverage and switching that a whole-home system requires.
Programming and Scene Building
Naming rooms and devices the way the household refers to them, then building the scenes that get used daily.
Ongoing Support
Remote management, adjustments as the home changes, and support that does not require starting over with a new dealer.
How the Josh Platform Works
Josh Nano
An architectural microphone that mounts flush into a ceiling or wall, with a physical privacy switch.
Josh Remote
A handheld touchscreen with a dedicated microphone button, controlling AV alongside lighting and shading.
Permissions and History
Household members can be given different levels of access, and the command history is reviewable so the system can be adjusted over time.
Josh Micro
A compact tabletop unit with room-sensing, for spaces where a recessed microphone is not practical.
The Josh App
Control from inside the home or remotely, including multiple properties under one account.
Josh AI Control Services
Whole-Home Voice Control
Voice control across lighting, shading, climate, audio, and video in a single system.
Audio and Video Control
Sonos zones, media rooms, and displays under the same commands as everything else.
Lighting and Shading Integration
Josh layered over Lutron systems so scenes and voice work together.
Security and Camera Integration
Door locks, entry cameras, and alarm status brought into the same interface.
Josh AI Installation Across the NYC Metro Area
New York City
Manhattan apartments and penthouses, Brooklyn brownstones, and townhouses across the five boroughs.

Estates and family homes where multiple buildings or outbuildings share one system.
Why Choose Connextivity for Josh AI
Connextivity is a physical security firm. We ask of a voice platform what we ask of a card reader: what it processes, where that happens, and what leaves the building. Josh is the platform that holds up to the question.
The Network Comes Before the Control System
Whole-home control fails on weak wireless and undersized switching far more often than on the control platform itself. We design and install the cabling and wireless ourselves, so the foundation underneath Josh isn't somebody else's assumption.
We Already Install What Josh Controls
Cameras, door locks, intercoms, and alarms are our primary work, and we're certified installers for Lutron lighting and Sonos audio. Bringing those systems into Josh is integration we understand rather than a category we subcontract.
Retrofitting Into Prewar Buildings
A recessed architectural microphone assumes there's a ceiling void to recess it into. Most Manhattan apartments don't have one. Plaster over brick, no accessible pathways, and a co-op board that signs off before anyone drills is the normal condition here, and it's the part of the job we handle every week.
Verified Before Handover
The commissioning process we use on federal installations applies to a home system too. Every device is tested against the design and documented before handover, so the system works on day one rather than through a punch list.

Frequently Asked Questions About Josh AI
-
Josh AI is a voice and app control platform for smart homes. It sits above the systems already in a property, lighting, shades, climate, audio, video, locks, and cameras, and lets them be controlled together through natural spoken commands or an app.
-
Josh processes voice commands on the device inside the home rather than sending audio to an outside service. It is sold only through certified dealers and is set up per property rather than out of a box, and it is designed to control professional systems like Lutron and Sonos rather than consumer smart plugs.
-
Yes. Josh integrates with Lutron lighting and shading, and Connextivity is a certified installer for both, so lighting scenes and voice control can be designed together rather than bolted on afterward.
-
Josh can integrate with compatible camera systems, door locks, and alarm platforms so entry status and camera views sit in the same interface as everything else. Which systems integrate depends on what is installed, which is one of the things the site walkthrough establishes.
-
Usually not. Josh is designed to sit on top of existing professional control platforms rather than replace them. Where a system needs replacing it is generally because it was already at end of life, not because Josh requires it.
-
More than most homeowners expect. Josh depends on consistent wireless coverage and switching that can carry it alongside everything else in the home. We assess the network before quoting the control system, because a Josh system on an inadequate network will disappoint regardless of how well it is programmed.
-
The process begins with a consultation and a walkthrough of the property to establish what is already installed, how the household uses the space, and what the network can support. From there we design the system and provide a written proposal before any work begins.
Bring Josh AI Into Your Home
Josh works best when it is designed around a specific home rather than fitted to one. Start with a walkthrough of the property and a look at what is already installed.
