Alamo Smart Home × Josh.ai · A Certified Partnership

The most advanced home on the street just listens.

No wall of remotes. No programmer on retainer. No app that aged a decade while your phone moved on. Josh.ai is the private, voice-first platform that finally makes luxury automation feel effortless — and Alamo Smart Home is the team that designs, installs, and tunes every detail of it.

Josh.ai

Josh builds the platform. We build the experience around your home. Every wire, every speaker zone, every keypad placement, every voice command — designed, programmed, and supported by Alamo Smart Home in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country.

Simple

Touch, text, or natural voice. Every member of the household gets control that feels obvious from day one.

Private

Your data is never sold, never shared for marketing, and never leaves the home unless you ask it to.

Magical

One sentence can run five systems. The house understands context — and keeps getting smarter over the air.

Begin Your Project

Let’s design your Josh.ai home.

Tell us a little about your project and we’ll be in touch within one business day to schedule a private consultation — at your home, our showroom, or over the phone.

We listen first, measure twice, and never quote until we understand exactly how you live.

For the Once-Bitten

You already paid for a smart home.
You shouldn’t have to fight it.

If a previous automation system left you swearing it off — you’re in good company. Most of our favorite clients arrived here exhausted by one. The stories rhyme:

Movie night needed a manual.

Three remotes, two apps, and a prayer — and when it froze, the fix was “reboot the processor.” A six-figure system shouldn’t ask that of you.

Every change was an invoice.

Renaming a scene, adding a lamp, adjusting a schedule — a service call, a programmer, a wait, a bill. The house was technically yours. Functionally, it wasn’t.

The interface froze in time.

Your phone got better every year. The system that ran your home didn’t. It looked dated in year two, and ancient by year five.

It wasn’t your fault. The platforms themselves made simple things hard. Josh.ai started over — voice-first, private by design, and improving every month — and we program it so the people who live in the house never need a manual.

We say this with respect: we’re certified on Control4, Savant, and Crestron, and we still deploy them where they’re genuinely the right tool. But if your last experience made you give up on automation, Josh.ai is the reason to look again — and most conversions we do keep the wiring, speakers, and shades you already own.

The Josh Touchscreen

One elegant surface for the whole room.

The Josh Touchscreen replaces the cluster of switches, remotes, and apps that used to live on your wall. Lights, shades, music, climate, scenes — all a single tap (or a single sentence) away.

We program every screen specifically for the room it lives in. The keypad in your primary suite knows it’s in your primary suite. The one in the kitchen shows your kitchen.

  • Custom scenes — “Movie Night,” “Dinner Party,” “Goodnight”
  • Beautiful, glanceable status for every connected system
  • Whole-house intercom and announcements
  • Designed and finished to disappear into your interior

The Josh App

Your whole home in your pocket — and it gets better every year.

Whether you’re upstairs or three time zones away, the award-winning Josh app gives you full command of every connected system — without compromising privacy or speed.

We configure the app per user, per room, and per scenario, so the people who live in your home each get an experience tailored to how they actually use it. And because Josh ships meaningful over-the-air updates all year, the app you use in year five will be better than the one you started with — not worse.

  • Per-user permissions for family, guests, and staff
  • Live camera feeds, alarm status, and door control
  • Voice control from anywhere — same engine as your keypads
  • Push notifications for the events you actually care about

The App, In Motion

This is what it actually feels like.

Four quick looks at the Josh app — the same experience your family will use every day, configured by Alamo Smart Home for the way you live.

Your home, mapped out.

Browse by room, by floor, or by zone. Every device exactly where it lives.

Every device, one tap away.

Lights, shades, music, climate, cameras — instantly controllable from any screen.

Scenes for the way you live.

“Movie Night,” “Goodnight,” “Dinner Party” — built around your routines, not someone else’s.

Security at a glance.

Live cameras, alarm status, locks, and access — peace of mind without leaving the app.

The Josh Micro · Long-Range Microphone

Speak from anywhere in the room.

The Josh Micro is a discreet microphone designed to hear you clearly from across the room — even with music playing or a conversation underway.

We place a Micro in every room you’d want to talk to. The kitchen. The primary suite. The theater. The pool deck. Each one is calibrated by Alamo to the acoustics of its space, and each one only listens when you’ve called for it.

  • Long-range, far-field beamforming — works across an open floor plan
  • Soft light ring confirms it’s listening (and stays dark otherwise)
  • Privacy-first: nothing leaves the home unless you ask it to
  • Finishes that disappear into ceilings or wall plates

Prefer Invisible? · The Josh Nano

The world’s first architectural microphone — designed to disappear.

For interiors where even a Micro is one object too many, the Josh Nano mounts flush into the wall or ceiling — a single quarter-sized aperture, paintable to match, placed by Alamo at the design stage so your architecture stays exactly as drawn.

Natural Voice Control

Ask. The house answers.

“OK Josh,” play jazz, dim the lights, start the fireplace, and lock the front door.

One sentence. Four systems. No remotes, no menus, no thinking about it. That’s what Josh.ai does — and what Alamo Smart Home programs for every room in your house.

“Goodnight, Josh”
“Play jazz in the kitchen”
“Set the theater to movie mode”
“Show the front door camera”
“Close the garage”
“Set the house to 70”

And it keeps getting smarter: JoshGPT brings conversational AI to the home — ask about the weather, your calendar, or anything you’d ask a great assistant — with the same privacy promise: your home’s data is never sold or shared.

One Family · Every Surface

A complete ecosystem, curated for your home.

Touchscreen, Micro, Nano, the handheld Edge remote, the Core and One processors, and the app — every Josh surface speaks the same language. Alamo specifies the right mix for each room, so control feels identical whether you touch, tap, or talk.

The Josh.ai product family — Touchscreen, Micro, Nano, Edge remote, Core, One, and the Josh app

Every device is engineered by Josh.ai in Denver, Colorado — and installed, calibrated, and supported by Alamo Smart Home in San Antonio.

Integrations That Matter

Josh.ai speaks fluently to the systems you already trust.

We pick best-in-class hardware for every layer of your home, then bring it all together under one voice, one app, one keypad.

Sonos · Whole-Home Audio

Audio in every zone, on command.

Drop a song into the kitchen, group the patio with the pool, or send the same playlist through the whole house. Josh controls every Sonos zone by voice.

Alarm · Cameras · Access

Security you can see and speak to.

Pull live camera feeds onto any keypad, arm and disarm the alarm by voice, and get notified the instant something matters — not before.

HVAC · Climate Control

Comfort, automated by zone.

Voice-driven thermostat control with smart schedules and zone-by-zone automation. “Set the upstairs to 68” — done.

Garage · Locks · Gates

Doors that listen, too.

Open the garage on the way home, lock the house from bed, or grant a guest access from the app — all under one secure roof.

Video · Theater · Distributed AV

One source, every screen.

Streaming, cable, theater modes, and distributed video — all callable by voice, all unified inside the Josh experience.

Pool · Outdoor · Landscape

The backyard joins the conversation.

Pool, spa, landscape lighting, and outdoor audio — all integrated into the same scenes and voice commands as the rest of the home.

Network · WiFi · Infrastructure

Built on a network that won’t quit.

Enterprise-grade WiFi, structured wiring, and rack design. Because the smartest home in the world is only as good as the network underneath it.

An Honest Comparison

We’ve installed them all.
Here’s why we lead with Josh.ai.

We’re certified on every major luxury control platform, and each has its place. But when clients ask what we’d put in our own homes — and especially when they’re replacing a system that wore them down — this is the honest answer.

Capability
Josh.ai
Control4
Savant
Crestron
Voice control
Built-in, voice-first. The platform was designed around voice from day one.
Available, but typically routed through Alexa or Google.
Available via integrations; added later in the product’s life.
Typically layered on via third-party voice services.
Natural language
Conversational, multi-step. One sentence can dim lights, lock doors, and start music.
Voice commands tend to be one-action-at-a-time, rigidly worded.
Voice typically maps to specific scenes or devices.
Command vocabulary depends on how each system was programmed.
Everyday changes
Ask, or call us — minutes. New scene names, schedules, and tweaks don’t require a programming visit.
Most meaningful changes go through dealer programming.
Dealer-dependent for anything beyond basic adjustments.
Custom-coded systems usually need the original programmer.
App & interface
Modern, fast, frequently updated. Feels like an app made this year — because it was.
Refreshed, but still carries the look of an older platform in places.
Polished, Apple-influenced design; slower release cadence.
Interface quality varies with each custom installation.
Privacy posture
Privacy by default. Nothing recorded or sent to the cloud unless you ask. No third-party voice services required. Data never sold or shared.
Depends on which voice integration is layered on.
Same third-party voice dependency.
Same third-party voice dependency.
Update philosophy
Continuous improvement. Meaningful over-the-air releases throughout the year — the system gets better while you own it.
Major releases on a slower, more predictable cadence.
Larger, less frequent updates.
Updates often require dealer involvement to deploy.
Best fit
The luxury home that wants to feel effortless. Voice + touch + app, all unified — including homes recovering from a bad automation experience.
Highly custom homes leaning on its deep legacy driver library.
Apple-centric households comfortable with a remote-and-app model.
Large estates and commercial-grade projects with full-time support.

We’ll tell you honestly when one of the others is the better fit for your project — and if you already own one, many Josh.ai conversions preserve the wiring, speakers, shades, and lighting hardware you’ve paid for. Most of the time, for the homes we work in, Josh.ai wins on the only question that matters day-to-day: does the house just work?
