The Avi-on Mobile Commissioning App is exclusively for use with Avi-on Pro Commercial Lighting Controls. The Mobile Commissioning App is optimized for small commercial lighting controls projects. For large-scale projects, where thousands of nodes are being commissioned and tuned, Avi-on recommends the Avi-on Pro App, available to qualified installers at Avi-on.com/Contact. The Avi-on Mobile Commissioning App is a secure lighting controls solution for office, school, healthcare, hospital, warehouse, manufacturing, parking garage, parking lot, horticultural, and other industrial applications. Using new and current smartphones or tablets with current operating systems, commercial installers can quickly set-up devices, program schedules, and add sensors or wall stations. Avi-on is “gateway free,” and no wifi hub or gateway is required. All schedules and settings are saved on a BluetoothⓇ chip inside each device. Once programmed locally, the schedules will operate without the Internet or your phone nearby. 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 remote operations and commissioning, energy monitoring, or demand response, install an optional Avi-on LTE/Ethernet Bridge. The Bridge turns Avi-on into an UL Diamond Cybersecurity, DLC 5.0, OpenADR, and Title 24 certified networked energy monitoring solution that meets the toughest building codes and maximizes utility rebates where available.
