Josh.ai and LG announce a collaboration to integrate voice control into LG TVs, allowing users to ask Josh Micro to turn on desired content on 2018 and 2019 LG OLED, Super UHD and UHD displays.

Using Josh.ai voice-control technology, customers will be able to control LG TVs through natural language-oriented commands, such as "turn the volume up" or "switch inputs to Roku." Compound commands, such as “watch Stranger Things season 2 episode 3, turn up the volume on the TV, draw the shades 40% and dim the lights a little” will also be possible, with all devices assigned to the room the user is in carrying out the actions in question.

The installation process promises to be easy-- after connecting to the network, Josh auto-populates supported LG TVs and provides authorisation instructions, making it easy to configure HDMI inputs and seamlessly deploy a distributed video system.

“LG is committed to developing features within our TV’s to make it easier to integrate with smart home control for the CI market," the TV maker says. "Josh.ai has been on the cutting edge of natural voice integration and we are excited to bring this solution to our friends within the CI community.”
