Modern Comfort for an Elora Home, Without the Clutter
Josh.ai Made for Heritage Rooms and Busy Households
Microphones that blend in. Josh Nano, Josh.ai’s architectural microphone, is slightly larger than a quarter and only a few millimetres deep. It comes in Coral White or Jet Black and can hide beneath a cover painted to match the wall, so it can sit in a plaster ceiling medallion or beside the trim.
Where running a cable isn’t practical, a Josh Micro in Carrera White or Onyx Black can sit on a bookshelf or mount to the wall. We install the whole Josh.ai range, including Josh Core and Josh One processors, the Josh Touchscreen and the Josh Edge remote.
Control for everyone in the house. As the owner, you set the limits: Josh.ai builds roles for residents and guests into every account. Family members, a cleaner or a house-sitter can each have their own app login, and access can be removed when it’s no longer needed. Josh.ai lists unlimited app users with Josh Micro.
A voice that suits the house. You can rename your system, choose the voice’s gender and accent, and switch the wake phrase if “Ok Josh” doesn’t feel right.
Josh.ai for Elora Homes
Limestone and fieldstone walls are hard to drill and hard on Wi-Fi. We plan the network first, place access points where they reach the rooms that matter, and use concealed microphones where a short cable run is possible. Motorized shades on deep-set windows can follow a schedule, opening for morning light and closing at sunset.
While the house sits empty, a timetable in the app can glow a front-room lamp and the porch light after dark and keep the heat at a frugal setback. On the drive up, raise the temperature and turn on the entry light from your phone.
In the newer neighbourhoods, families often start with the main floor: a “dinner” scene for the kitchen and dining room, music in the family room, and a “goodnight” request that darkens the ground floor, arms the alarm and drops the thermostat a couple of degrees.
Opening walls for a kitchen or an addition is the moment to run cable for Nano microphones, ceiling speakers and shade motors, so the finished room looks untouched by technology.

Devices an Elora Josh.ai System Can Bring Together
We supply and install the connected devices for each room, and where you already own compatible equipment, we bring it into Josh.ai rather than replace it.
- Shades and drapery. Josh.ai supports a long list of window covering brands, including Lutron, Hunter Douglas, Somfy and Draper, for privacy on a busy village street and shade on west-facing rooms.
- Ambient lighting. Lutron Ketra and RadioRA 3, Philips Hue, Nanoleaf and Oelo are among its lighting partners, from warm evening scenes to exterior accent lighting.
- Fireplaces and fans. Hearth & Home fireplaces and Big Ass Fans ceiling fans respond by voice or app.
- Climate. A compatible thermostat, such as an Ecobee or a Nest, can be nudged warmer on the drive up from Toronto.
- Entertainment. Anthem and Marantz receivers, Sonos speakers, a Kaleidescape movie server for a snug media room, and SiriusXM or Spotify playing on the porch.
- Doors. Josh.ai-compatible smart locks, Schlage and Yale among them, sit comfortably beside the keypads from our keyless entry work.
Security Built Into an Elora Josh.ai Home
Also for Elora Guest Suites, Inns and Studios
Homes come first, but the same features serve the village’s hospitality side. A guest suite in Salem can get limited guest controls while schedules and settings stay with the owner; check the Township of Centre Wellington’s current short-term rental requirements before you list. Josh.ai’s makers point to hotels as another place the platform runs, so a small inn or B&B can offer voice control of lights, shades and the fireplace in guest rooms, and a studio on Mill, Metcalfe or Geddes Street can put lighting and music on a weekday schedule.

It shouldn’t. Josh Nano microphones are small enough to almost disappear and can take a painted cover. Where wiring is difficult, a tabletop Josh Micro is a tidy alternative.
That’s one of the nicest uses. Open the Josh App on Friday afternoon, bump up the heat, switch on a few lamps and, with a compatible model, start the fireplace.
Yes. Give the cleaner a separate login with only the rooms they need, then revoke it whenever the arrangement ends.
Josh.ai microphones only respond after the wake word, a light shows when they’re listening, and they can be muted. Nano microphones also have a switch that turns them off completely.
