Here are a 3 ways lighting designs can make life easier and more fun:

1. Lighting Automated To Match Your Lifestyle Routines

Imagine rarely having to touch a light switch or window blind. Multiple levels of lights and shades sync to go up and down at specific times of the day to keep your home cooler or warmer, while saving energy. Press Goodbye on a keypad or from your phone and all the lights in your home goes off; lights outside comes on at dusk and as you walk into your home, lights turn on to the right color temperature suited for that time of the day. What about lights dimming as daylight fades, putting you in the mood for bedtime? Scheduling lights to go on and off at specific times and adjusting lights, provides the utmost in convenience and relaxation.

&nbsp;2. Accent Lighting

Highlight staircases, ceilings, under cabinets and hallways with lighting that&rsquo;s not only decorative, but also functional as it can become the primary source of lighting when overhead lights are off. This type of lighting can be tunable to dim or brighten. Control lighting from the Lutron app, decorative keypads or by voice.

&nbsp;3. Party Lighting And Setting Scenes

Programmed Lighting can be set up inside or outside of home to transition from regular white lights to steady or pulsing blues, greens, reds and more. This is not only decorative for holidays and special occasions, but convenient when you no longer have to put up or take down different lighting. You can also connect your lighting system to a whole home automation system, so that it syncs with other technology in the home to create special scenes, like movie night - where with one tap on your cell phone app, lights dim, some lights go off, audio video goes on, shades come down and alarm arms. Now you can create many special scenes in your home that involves lighting and other tech.

As homeowners, we always look for ways to make our living more comfortable and convenient. One of the most significant advancements of the past decade has been voice-activated assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Google Home. These devices have made a considerable impact on our daily lives by providing a hands-free way to control our smart homes, stream music, and even order groceries. But what if there was a way to make these voice assistants even smarter? That's where Josh.ai comes in with its latest offering, JoshGPT, which takes voice assisting to the next level.

Josh.ai is a company that designs voice-activated smart home technology. Their core offering is a state-of-the-art whole home technology ecosystem that uses advanced natural language processing and deep learning algorithms to make their voice assistant more personalized and intelligent than ever before. With Josh.ai, you can perform complex tasks that would usually require multiple voice commands. For instance, instead of saying "Hey Alexa, turn off the lights in the living room" and then "Hey Alexa, turn on the fan," you could say "OK Josh, make the living room cozy," and the system would turn off the lights and turn on the fan all at once.

With the addition of JoshGPT, you now have a voice assistant that you can have a conversation with, utilizing generative AI tech. JoshGPT, enables you to control devices and learn about topics, while providing clarifications and feedback. With JoshGPT, you can now say things like, "OK Josh, dim the lights, turn on dinner music and tell me 2 recipes for Italian pasta." The system which is made up of small microphones that blend into rooms throughout the home, remotes, and an app with a complete operating system will perform the physical commands and recommend two recipes with cooking instructions. According to Josh.ai, here are some other interactions JoshGPT will now enable across various topics:
<ol>
<li>Local - JoshGPT will act as a local guide to restaurants, attractions etc.</li>
<li>Entertainment - find movies, shows etc., plus provide an opportunity to discover more content and info about actors or any entertainment surrounding what you're watching.</li>
<li>Music - generate any genre of music and learn about artists and discover more about music</li>
<li>Cooking - get recipes with cooking instructions and learn about food in general</li>
<li>Travel - get help with an itinerary for trips, learn about sights and more</li>
<li>Art - learn about any artist, the history of a particular genre of art and more</li>
<li>Trivia - connect to a world encyclopedia for hosting trivia parties and generally deepening your knowledge on any topic</li>
<li>History - hear stories that enhances your learning of the past</li>
</ol>

What sets Josh.ai apart from other voice-activated assistants is its ability to understand multi-room commands and it knows which room you're in at the moment of command. Josh can manage various devices in different rooms simultaneously and now it's so much more intelligent with JoshGPT. If you say, "OK Josh, it's time for bed," it would tell you the latest news and weather in the room you're in, turn off the lights in all other parts of the house, turn on the air purifier, adjust the thermostat, and even lock the doors. With Josh, you can say goodbye to the days of shouting out multiple voice commands, standing up, and manually controlling your smart home device. You can now have interactions with intelligence surrounding anything you're doing or planning to do.

Security is also a top priority for Josh.ai. The system uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that your data is protected from potential breaches. Not to mention, all voice commands and queries are localized to your smart home, which means that your device won't record or send any data to external servers.

As voice-activated assistants become more integrated into our lives, we are seeing major advancements in AI technology. For those looking to take their&nbsp;<a title="smart home automation" href="https://connectedlifedesigns.com/residential-solutions/smart-home">smart home&nbsp;automation</a>&nbsp;and voice assistant experience to more conversational, JoshGPT offers an innovative approach.
