Combine Lutron & Josh.AI to Give Your Clients Elegant Controls
Home Automation Gives the Finishing Touches to Your Client’s Lighting Control
High-end interior designers want technology you don’t notice until you’re ready to use it. Many standard lighting systems clutter homes with bulky panels and switches littering the walls. Yet, designers also know layered lighting is important to the design, so simply reducing the number of fixtures isn’t an option.
At Window Collections, we help interior designers with a trusted combination: Lutron, the golden standard of lighting control, and Josh.ai, a sleek home automation platform with a privacy-focused approach to voice control. As a Lutron Double Diamond Dealer, we help you find solutions that give homeowners the usability they need without hindering your design.
An Aesthetic Approach to Lighting Control
Lutron lighting control is a vital tool for interior designers to manage both natural and artificial light. Not only is it easy for users to pick the perfect hue to highlight their artwork or raise shades for the perfect levels of sunshine to brighten a room, but Lutron makes the controls themselves elegant as well.
You can replace rows of plastic toggles with Lutron’s high-end keypads, particularly Palladiom and Alisse.
The Palladiom keypad is defined by its sleek, linear aesthetic and flush-mounted face plate. This creates a smooth, single-material surface that feels like a natural extension of the wall. It is available in architectural matte, glass, and metal finishes, including options like Satin Nickel, Polished Graphite, and Clear White Glass. The large, rectangular buttons feature backlit engraving that adjusts its brightness based on the room's ambient light.
For spaces that require a more classical or bespoke touch, the Alisse keypad offers a softer, hand-finished look. Machined from solid brass, Alisse features circular buttons and a thin, elegant profile with rounded edges. It comes in hand-finished metals like Aged Brass, Brushed Brass, and Champagne.
Expand Your Controls With Josh.ai
Unlike mass-market speakers, Josh.ai is built for luxury homes and never sells users’ data. And instead of a bulky Alexa on the counter, the Josh Nano is an architectural microphone the size of a quarter that disappears into any wall. Josh talks directly with Lutron processors in order to execute homeowners’ commands with an unparalleled understanding of complex requests.
Say “Josh, dim the lights, close the shades, and play some jazz,” and it will execute all the actions at once, automatically knowing which room the speaker is in. Clients can also pull up any scenes that you curated for them. Tell Josh to activate an “entertainment scene” and Lutron shades lower to reduce glare, Ketra lights shift to a warm candlelight glow, and the TV turns on to Netflix.
And, since Josh.ai partners directly with Lutron, you’ll be able to reduce wall clutter even further. Special wallplates combine a Lutron keypad and a Josh Nano microphone into a single, cohesive architectural plate. These plates offer a flush-mount, "built-in" look available in premium finishes like Satin Nickel, Polished Graphite, and Architectural Matte White.
