## What is Avi?

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
· Stand near the powered device(s). Press the big + button to add your first device. FAQs are here: http://bit.ly/2F9KaAx

### 1/5 — Doesn't work as promised.

*2026-08-21, version 1.17.6*

Connecting to the device from the app takes an inordinate amount of time, and half the time it tells you it cannot find devices. The scheduling usually works, but isn't 100 percent. I won't recommend this to my friends.

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-04-01, version 1.17.6*

I can’t get the device to be recognized

### 1/5 — No support?

*2025-12-21, version 1.17.6*

Just set up a few items- GE products and this is the only way to control them only…the settings say saved and actually are not activated. The app is not functioning as it should and they no longer use zen desk for support nor have any way to reach them on the app either. Support options says you can send an email- but you can’t. So- I am so sorry I have wasted my time and so frustrated it’s not working w no way to reach them. Will contact GE next but the product works- the app is not…..

### 1/5 — If only it worked.

*2025-10-29, version 1.17.6*

Horribly unreliable.  Some switches never connect. Some work fine.  Totally unreliable.  Old school tech I guess.   Time to rip it all out and find alternative

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-05-15, version 1.17.6*

Cannot get past entering my phone number when trying to register. No matter how I enter it I get an error message “invalid phone number”. Unbelievable. This means I cannot download the app to use the product. Total garbage.

### 2/5 — Not able to use remotely

*2025-03-31, version 1.17.6*

Blue tooth tech would not allow to control devices remotely. Not very useful for people to travel frequently.

### 1/5 — Link with amazon

*2025-01-02, version 1.17.6*

Get it together.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2024-12-31, version 1.17.6*

These devices don’t work well at all. Only solution from the company was to mail the light switch in for a “firmware” update. Seriously? Are we back in the 1980s?

### 3/5 — Fix broke the app

*2024-12-16, version 1.17.6*

This was working fine until the update occurred. Now the app either fails to find devices or crashes after a selection. PITA.

### 1/5 — Poor connection technology

*2024-07-01, version 1.17.2*

Takes forever to connect and often reconnects while you’re trying to control the device.   Half I time I end up just walking over to the switch and working it manually.   I’m in range and have a good Bluetooth signal.   Will swap for WiFi switches.
