Hey, AVA installers!
Last week at CEDIA Expo 2025, we announced the biggest AVA OS news ever: AVA OS 2.0!!
The thousands of visitors that came to see us were stunned by the massive surprise of new features and possibilities.
Since AVA doesn’t like to pre-announce, we made sure we could follow the show with an immediate release. So - we are delighted to provide it to you today!

Highlights
- Free upgrade for all AVA installers and homeowners
-
New AVA apps for Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, and Android Phone and tablets*
- Download the AVA apps at https://ava.com/download
- Support for third-party Android in-wall panels (can run as a full launcher or a companion app)*
-
Pro configuration tools now available on macOS and Windows for faster project setup and management.
- Windows will be listed shortly, as we work our way through the fun house of Microsoft’s approval process
- Download the AVA apps at https://ava.com/download
- Premium design system inspired by Swiss graphic design: improved readability, larger touch elements, adjustable font sizes.
- 300+ new icons added, with a great new UI that groups icons to make them easier to find.
- Automation improvements: make changes faster, and reconnect an IP driver to a device without breaking any flows
- Now over 1,000+ IP drivers with deep native integrations
- Google Play certification (still unique in CI products): run apps like two-way video doorbells, Tesla/EV apps, Powerwall, or family calendars, and launch them from a Flow

* apps, pro tools, and 3rd party panels requires project to be running on an AVA Nano Brain.
