GE CYNC A19 Smart LED Light Bulbs, Soft White, Bluetooth and WiFi Light Bulbs, 60W Equivalent, Work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home (4 Pack)

Easy to set up, very nice having these set up on automation. No more manually turning on and off the porch Lights at dawn and dusk.

So easy to install, screw it in, Alexa automatically finds it once you turn blue tooth on. Then the ONLY CON you have to turn off EACH INDIVIDUAL LIGHTBULB. Say you put 4 in your kitchen ceiling fan light be prepared to tell Alexa turn off all kitchen fan lights, unless you want 3 off then say whatever you rename them.. Also major Con NOT INTENDED FOR PREVIOUS DIMMABLE FIXTURE LIGHTS. THEY WILL NOT WORK AND MAY CAUSE FIRE. so if you are new to everything like me....... Research first. I'm writing this to help other first timers who don't know anything about electronics lol I'm watching all the videos on you tube and reading all about Alexa on the site. I bought smart plugs and a lighting hue when I didn't even need them lol. Just needed high speed internet. But you need a Phillips hue for the lightbulbs that come with the echo dot new gen ....... It's all so confusing

We are users of the GE Plugs, which have worked pretty well, so I decided to add two of the light bulbs to our front porch. One light connected to WIFI (four WIFI bars at that location) after some effort. It keeps popping up as unavailable, then available, etc, turning off the timer routine we set for the light. The second one is 20 feet from the first (three WIFI bars at that location) could never connect to the WIFI. It kept timing out. I am guessing the wifi radios are pretty cheap, contributing to the problem. Going to look at Phillips Hue as I hear they connect better.I contacted CYNC help (via telephone) and they were very helpful getting the lights working. All work as advertised now-we will definitely purchase again.

Paired easily. Easy to use with the Cync app. Set the day and time schedule. Works fantastic. Brightness same as a 60 watt bulb. I would buy again

I use GE sync for all the smart lighting in my home. It's very easy to set up and works very well and is always very reliable.

First the good - these GE cync plugs, as well as the cync bulbs, are easy to install. I have 8 in total - 6 plugs and 2 of their bulbs. The app is easy to navigate. I was able to sync the devices with the app, schedule timers, and occasionally have success with auto schedules (they call "routines" and on/off controls.Now, the bad - reliability. These are pretty much the worst "smart" gadget I have in my home. See photo above - this is my experience 90% of the time when I open the app. At least half of the units are unavailable and unable to be controlled at any given time. The cync smart bulb I have in the dining room in particular completely stopped being functional. If I reboot the app, I can usually get a cync plug or bulb to become available again. But the second I leave the app and come back again, it's a coin flip whether or not I can control the same light again.As far as the scheduled routines go, I wanted a group of 4 plugs/bulbs to illuminate lamps at dusk, then turn off automatically at 10pm. Sounds nice, right? It worked for about a week. The routine is still active on the app, but seemingly because the GE products randomly cut out, the routine no longer does anything. Not a single light turns on at dusk. Useless.Until GE releases an update that actually makes these plugs functional, I can wholeheartedly say these are garbage. I'm currently looking at replacing with the leviton smart plug, which seems to have much better reliability from the reviews I read.

The Cync app to control the settings is simple enough. The bulbs themselves are fickle and disconnect from the app constantly. During setup something went wrong and I had to factory reset all of them which is more of a pain than you’d expect. The “scenes” are slow to edit and rarely work right. I haven’t tried making schedule routines yet cuz it’s already annoying. I also haven’t tried them with Google Home or Alexa cuz I don’t use those things. The light that comes from the bulbs is fine, I guess. Considering the LEDs will probably outlive my time in this apartment, I guess they’re overall good.

Great product. Easy set up and love the ease of use.
