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).

Ratings and reviews

This is not a user friendly app. I just bought the switch and it took forever to figure out that it needed a firmware update. I was ready to pull the switch out and return it. Lucky I have an IT guy in the family. This kind of thing should be automatic or at least explained in the app instead of just being unable to connect. Communication is key to a good app. It works as described once updated but it should not require an IT expert to get it working right out of the box.

Worked well until it won't connect to lights....now my sunset to sunrise lights come on in the middle of the day and I can't control them. I have since gotten a new phone. Tried from both Android and IPhone to connect(only having one device with app at a time like instructions say). Followed instructions, rebooted phones, and cycled airplane mode, Uninstaller and reinstalled app. Still doesn't work.

Expensive and useless for most. So, let me get this correct, a premium price for a switch, pay the electrician, then have to update your firmware which is super finicky, and only other option is to wait up to 6 weeks after mailing in this failure for your update and Covid-19 delay excuse on top... all on a login required/proprietary software handcuff for a simple Bluetooth device. Apparently it does work if stars align, or one wastes valuable time on the poor user experience. Cmon, do better
