Josh.ai Ships Josh Edge, a Simpler Approach to Smart Home Control
DENVER, CO – December 22nd, 2025 – Josh.ai, the leader in artificial intelligence in the smart home, has reimagined the power of handheld remote control with the delivery of Josh Edge. The launch follows a successful beta program, which provided early access to select dealers who helped shape the user experience through hands-on testing and feedback. Insights from the program informed final refinements, validated the product’s market readiness, and reinforced Josh.ai’s belief that its partners should be involved early in the product development process.
Throughout the beta program, partners shared their feedback on performance, usability, and day-to-day experiences with Josh Edge:
"The Josh Edge Remote feels effortless. It’s convenient, easy to use, and always ready the moment you pick it up. Instant responsiveness is where a lot of newer remotes struggle; this one doesn’t. Voice control is the multiplier. It unlocks features you simply can’t fit onto buttons.” – Alex Lelchuk, Lelch AV
“Within the first few days we had our hands on the Josh Edge remote, it became the most popular remote in the house. After only a short amount of use, it was intuitive and fun to use. Every other remote went in the drawer!” – Scott Stenger, Colorado Tech Guys
“In my 30 years in this industry, I have never been more impressed with how easy Josh Edge was to get up and running. This remote will change the way we think about simple control in a home!” – Tony Ferrante, Hill Residential.
Josh Edge represents a natural extension of Josh.ai’s simplicity-first philosophy, offering an intuitively designed handheld companion that blends tactile hard-button control with the limitless potential of AI. At the center of the device is a tap-to-talk voice button, which enables users to give contextually aware commands across their smart home and access JoshGPT for intelligent assistance across any topic.
The lower portion of the remote delivers a familiar universal control experience with a multi-directional navigation pad and dedicated AV buttons, supporting platforms such as Apple TV, Roku, Kaleidescape, Dish, Xfinity, and more. The top of the remote features six personalizable buttons that can control anything in the home. These swappable and customizable controls can be configured in the Josh App to adjust lighting, music, shades, fireplaces, and other devices, as well as run scenes like “Movie Time,” or even act as shortcuts to favorite channels and streaming services. With almost ninety custom buttons to choose from, dealers are able to tailor Josh Edge to each room and their clients’ needs.
“Josh Edge may be the most important product we’ve ever introduced,” said Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai. “It reflects our belief that the best technology should feel obvious. Simple by design, intuitive to use, and incredibly powerful once you pick it up. With AI built directly into the experience, Josh Edge changes how people interact with their homes, without asking them to think about the technology at all.”
Originally introduced as a customer-driven concept, Josh Edge was shaped by years of dealer feedback and real-world experience. Josh.ai dealers were invited to support the project through an exclusive pre-ordering campaign, with the company reaching its target goal within the first hour. The development of Josh Edge reflects Josh.ai’s long-standing commitment to the professional channel and the collaborative expertise required to create truly custom smart home experiences.
