Deako and Josh.ai have partnered to make connected lighting easier to access and automate across living spaces. The integration combines Deako’s modular smart lighting with Josh.ai’s privacy-first AI-powered control, allowing builders and integrators to deliver automation without complexity or high costs.
The partnership enables homes to be built “AI-ready” using standard wiring and Deako backplates, with advanced automation added seamlessly when desired. Deako Smart Switches and Dimmers connect to the local network, where Josh.ai’s processor automatically discovers lighting loads and creates the home’s floorplan for further customization.
โHomeowners can control lights however is easiest using touch, text, or natural voice commands,โ said representatives from Deako and Josh.ai. The Josh App, Josh Edge remote, and Josh.ai interfaces provide two-way feedback, ensuring the system reflects the current state of each Deako switch.
The local communication between (link unavailable) and Deako ensures instant response times, continued operation during internet outages, and a privacy-first experience.
