About this app

The Avi-on Home app enables customers of GE-branded Bluetooth devices to operate in-wall and plug-in switches using their smartphone. Avi-on no longer has a contractual relationship with the manufacturer, Jasco Products, or any duty to support GE by Jasco Products, and these products are no longer being sold. Avi-on continues to support these devices solely as a courtesy to existing users.
Avi-on Home is a fully-secured system that requires both login and location services. Login ensures that no one else can operate your lights. Location enables you to use sunrise and sunset with your schedules. Once programmed locally, the schedules will operate without the Internet or your phone nearby.
To control GE-branded devices via wi-fi, an Avi-on Remote Access Bridge is required. All schedules and settings are saved on a Bluetooth chip inside each device. Avi-on enables many users to control many devices through a single account. Your account and settings are saved in the Avi-on cloud, providing instant back-up. If you want wi-fi access, 24/7 clock synchronization, and/or Alexa compatibility, install an optional Avi-on Remote Access Bridge (RAB).
How do you get started?
Power any Avi-on compatible device by wiring it or plugging it in (plug-in switch or dimmer, in-wall switch or dimmer, or outdoor switch)
Use a current smartphone or tablet with current OS with Bluetooth and with strong wi-fi access
Download the latest version of the Avi-on Home App. Register your account and password. Check spam folder for verification and password emails

Constant connectivity issues. Both "firmware update" AND "complete refresh" were done, but connectivity issues persist. Sometimes I can connect in a few seconds, other times it can take as long as a minute. Some days, I just can't connect at all. And I'm not using multiple devices and/or multiple controllers. I have a single Avi-on device and a single controller (smartphone). UPDATE: Hello Avi-on Labs, as you stated, this is a review platform. I'm not seeking support here, as I already went through all the applicable help steps outlined on your support page. I'm just trying to provide my experience with your app so that current/potential users can aggregate this review along with the hundreds of others and come to their own conclusion.

Hi again! Google Play limits us to 350 characters, so it is pretty difficult to provide personalized support in response to a Review. It could be your phone is the problem...but hard to tell from here without being able to look at your account. You can receive real assistance at support@avi-on.com. Have a great Sunday evening!

What happened to this app? i used it last year for Christmas lights. no issues at all. and now, in using it again, it takes forever to connect and more often then not, I need to restart my Bluetooth to get it to work. I see the app devs have a "connecting?" FAQ now, so something must be going on. this needs to be looked into. the app was not in this poor condition a year ago. And yes, I updated the firmware and it's still slow and takes forever to connect.

Oh goodness! The app is fine...but it sounds like you skipped the firmware update last year. Contact us at support@avi-on.com for information. Merry Christmas!

This app is terribly written. It has to connect to their web site to allow you to use Bluetooth to turn on your light. When it does work, it takes way too long to log in. When login fails, it just says"connecting" in a modal window that keeps me from accessing my lights switch. And this was not an"open box return" as they claim work other reviews.

Hi Alan--you just wrote this review 19 minutes ago. Thank you for being a customer since 2016. It looks like you forgot to do the firmware update that has been in place since 2017, and now your switch isn't transmitting properly. Would you be so kind as to contact us at support so we can assist you? Support@avi-on.com.
