The integration is designed to simplify the setup process for professional installers. Once connected to the network, JVC projectors are automatically detected by Josh.ai, streamlining the integration process and providing clear authorization instructions. The system supports an unlimited number of projectors in a single home, giving custom integrators the flexibility to design complex, multi-zone entertainment systems. Through the Josh.ai Web Portal, installers can configure HDMI inputs, media output zones, and other settings to efficiently deploy sophisticated home theater environments.
“Delivering immersive experiences and advancing user-centric home theater projection technology that integrates effortlessly into modern smart homes remains a core priority for JVC,” said Jamie Pasley, General Manager of JVC Home Theater Projectors. “Our collaboration with Josh.ai—an industry-leading innovator in home automation—reflects our commitment to open, seamless compatibility across the ecosystem.”
For homeowners, the partnership offers a new level of convenience and personalization. Josh.ai’s platform allows users to control their theater’s power, inputs, volume, and access to streaming and cable video platforms through intuitive remote controls or contextual voice commands. Custom scenes can be created to instantly set the perfect cinematic mood, making the home theater experience both immersive and effortless. A simple command like, “Hey Josh, dim the lights, draw the shades, and watch Stranger Things on Netflix,” showcases the platform’s ability to consolidate device control for a truly modern entertainment experience.
“We’re excited to introduce JVC support for our mutual dealers and clients,” said Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai. “As Josh has grown, our team is proud to continue expanding with strategic category integrations. Our goal with Josh.ai is to deliver joy in the smart home, and we’re thrilled to power dynamic theater experiences with JVC.”
This partnership represents a significant step forward in the evolution of home theater technology. By combining JVC’s expertise in premium projection with Josh.ai’s advanced AI capabilities, the collaboration redefines what’s possible in home entertainment, offering a seamless, unified solution for custom integrators, designers, and homeowners alike.
