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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: iJudges at 100% against Avi's 22%. iJudges also leads on ads (none vs shown). Avi's advantage is price (Free vs $5.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Avi is free to download; iJudges costs $5.99 up front. iJudges sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Avi asks for nothing beyond the download.
Avi holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avi has 1.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Avi's written reviews are positive against 100% of iJudges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Avi ships an update every 6 weeks, iJudges every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
