Control4

Control4 is a smart system that is designed to integrate all of the devices in your home into one easy-to-use system. It offers a range of features, including home automation, audio and video control, and energy management.

 

One of the key benefits of Control4 is its compatibility with a wide range of devices, including lights, thermostats, and security systems. This means that you can control all of your home’s devices from one central location, whether it’s your smartphone, tablet, or dedicated Control4 touch screen. 

 

Control4 also integrates with a number of other smart home products, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. This allows you to control your home using voice commands, making it even more convenient to use. Control4 works well with both Apple and Android products. 

Savant 

Savant is another popular smart system that offers a range of features, including home automation, audio and video control, and energy management. One of the standout features of Savant is its high-end design, which includes sleek touch screens and remotes that are designed to blend seamlessly into your home’s décor. 

Like Control4, Savant is compatible with a wide range of devices, and it also integrates with other smart home products, including Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit. One unique feature of Savant is its use of “Scenes,” which allow you to create custom settings for your home based on your preferences. For example, you could create a “Goodnight” scene that turns off all of the lights and locks the doors with a single command. 

Savant is generally considered to be a high-end smart system and is a great choice for families that use Apple products.

Josh.AI

Josh.AI is a newer smart system that is designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly than other options on the market. It offers many of the same features as Control4 and Savant, including home automation and audio and video control, but it sets itself apart with its natural language processing capabilities. With Josh.AI, you can control your home using voice commands that are more conversational and natural than those offered by other smart systems. 

Josh.AI also integrates with a number of other smart home products, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Sonos. They also recently announced a partnership with ChatGPT giving Josh.AI a broad range of capabilities. We recommend Josh.AI if you’re looking for a system that leverages voice commands and has a focus on privacy. Josh.AI prides itself on only collecting data that will help improve their overall product.
