Bond Bridge and Josh.ai Join Forces in Bringing Voice Control to Motorized Window Shades, Ceiling Fans and Fireplaces in Control4 Installations
Cresskill, NJ - May 10, 2022 – The result of a strategic alliance between Bond Bridge and Josh.ai, home technology professionals can now marry the two in their client’s Control4 environments. The pairing provides Josh.ai’s natural voice control of motorized window shades, ceiling fans, and fireplaces that are managed by the Bond Bridge RF-to-WiFi home control platform.
The Bond Bridge RF-to-WiFi hub along with the Bond Home Smartphone/Tablet App consolidate control of Somfy and Rollease shades and most ceiling fans. No installation or wiring is required, and for larger jobs multiples can be used. Bond brings the added benefits of programming capabilities, and now full-featured voice automation in Control4 projects courtesy of Josh.ai.
The basic Bond Bridge ($99) can manage thirty appliances in a 2,500 sq. ft. home. The step-up Bond Bridge Pro ($379) can manage fifty in a 3,500 sq. ft. home - bringing simplified, unified control to larger projects and covering the entire home. Bond Bridge Pro also incorporates an Ethernet port with POE technology which makes for easy integration with Control4.
Once Bond Bridge Pro is integrated with Control4 and Josh.ai, clients are empowered to use Josh.ai’s simple and private voice control throughout their living spaces. Every family member can continue personalizing their experience by adding aliases to favorite devices and creating custom scenes in the Josh app. Josh.ai’s proprietary natural language processing offers features like making multiple requests in a single command, contextually adjusting surroundings, and remembering the last device that was spoken to. For example: “Ok Josh, raise the west blackouts, lower the first-floor solar sheers, and set the fan speed to high.”
