Pros

  • On a technical level, I am impressed with the voice control on Josh. I also like that I don't have to buy expensive go-between devices every time I add something to my system (which I do with Savant). I like that it is agnostic (music se...
  • josh is freaking great for how i use it. i have it running one of my places exclusively and works great because it's simple as far as what i need it to do and most importantly, what i need it to work with.
  • I have a small condo with Josh.AI and have been really impressed by it.
  • His standup is great, but damn does he shine behind that desk
  • Give me a $20 Josh and I'm solid.

Cons

  • Josh is a basic supermarket Cab Sav.
  • Josh.ai, but quality and privacy costs money.
  • voice will be finicky but as long as you know that you'll be fine with josh. i have voice issues with josh here and there but it's expected overall with voice. i am happy with it where i have it and have layered it on top of other places...

voice will be finicky but as long as you know that you'll be fine with josh. i have voice issues with josh here and there but it's expected overall with voice. i am happy with it where i have it and have layered it on top of other places where i have c4 or crestron.

only draw back is when you pay that much for a control system it better do everything that you need it to do. josh isn't there yet. you have to really think about how to engineer your system around josh vs engineering a system and figuring out the control side on how to control things.
