Juno AI™ – a Portfolio of Downlights that Can Do It All – Promises to Simplify Smart Home Automation


Atlanta, Nov. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE:AYI) has launched the innovative Juno AI™ line of intelligent LED downlights, including the highly anticipated Juno AI with Alexa built-in and integrated JBL® speakers, which enable seamless smart home automation. The simple-to-install downlights easily connect with other compatible smart home devices and deliver voice-service capabilities from their inconspicuous position in the ceiling.

The patent-pending Juno AI downlight with Alexa built-in can order pizza, play music and playlists, and control other Juno AI downlighting in and around the home – including dimming the lights to set the mood and adjusting color temperature from warm to cool. Juno AI connects to any Alexa-enabled smart home devices­ – lawn sprinklers, vacuums, security cameras, ambient lighting and much more ­– through simple voice commands.

“What we have accomplished with Juno AI is both simple and innovative,” said Jeff Spencer, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President and General Manager of Smart and Connected Devices. “This downlight allows consumers to control their entire smart home from one device, through an ecosystem that is located out of sight. Juno AI weaves smart home automation and voice-assistance into our everyday activities.”   

Easy-to-Install, Easy-to-Use

Set up is easy. The 6” LED fixtures can be installed in virtually any retrofit or new construction application, making them ideal for both new builds and existing homes. DIY homeowners and electrical contractors can easily install and wire Juno AI products for immediate use and connectivity without the need for smart home specialists. Homeowners can program Juno AI products with their mobile device through the free Juno AI app.

In addition to the Juno AI Speaker Light with Alexa built-in, the new product line features the companion Juno AI Speaker Light and the Juno AI LED Downlight. All three product iterations provide controllable, high-quality LED lighting, and the Juno AI Speaker Light and Juno AI LED Downlight both work with Alexa whether using the Juno AI speaker light with Alexa built-in or a stand-alone Alexa device.
