GE Lighting CYNC Indoor Smart Plug, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Smart Outlet Socket, Works with Alexa and Google Home, Voice Control Outlet

I needed a smart plug that would work when there was no Internet. I needed a plug that would allow me to power-cycle some Internet gear (such as a modem or a switch) located in a crawlspace. Very likely, the reason I would need to power-cycle some Internet gear would be because that very gear was not working, i.e., no WiFi and no way to control your typical WiFi-only smart plug. Doh. So, this Cync plug automatically switches over to Bluetooth when there is no Internet connection. You dont have to do anything. I can easily switch the plug off and on via Bluetooth using the Cync app on my phone.

After returning cheaper plugs that we couldnt connect, we opted for this one (we already have a Cync dimmer). Once we could get it to go into discover mode (had to call support cause u have to hold the button for 15 secs which isnt stated anywhere in the instructions), it worked great and easily paired with Alexa and Google.

Reading so many review on here. Some are so long and love complaining about everything. I bought this one because it really is rated at 1800 wats, 15 amps unlike some lieing other brands. Bought another that would not set up because my phone was on my 5ghz wifi. This one set up very easy even though my phone was using the 5ghz. This device does use 2.4ghz so the range is pretty good from the wireless router. The app sucks but works with no ads. I am using it to remotely turn on a TV stand heater through a circuit breaker power strip. Since the app is very hard to use I lowered the rating.

Loved the plug and the support team walked me through on the set up!! Great customer service and you can set-up a schedule (routine) with this smart plug.

The plug is fine once its installed and connected to wi fi. The connection process is easy but it does not work. You have to repeat the process dozens of times I even had to take a break and go back to it.

I got this for my parents to change their old rotary timer for the lights in their front room. The app makes this easy to use.

Great

These work okay. Sometimes they go offline. They seemed fine with initial set up but then when I rearranged them for a different room and different purpose, I started having connectivity and set up issues.

I bought a 4-pack of smart plugs after reading they could be used to power down your Modem/Router rid yourself of unplugging the power cord. Well, those particular smart plugs use wi-fi so you can pretty much guess what happened when I tried to turn it back on... NOTHING! Theres no wi-fi available to turn the smart plug back on! So as I wrestled with whether I should return or keep the other plugs, I learned about the GE CYNC which uses both wi-fi AND bluetooth technology. Setup was so simple I thought I must have missed something. I plugged in the routers power cord and cycled it off then back on without a hitch, thanks to bluetooth. The router took its usual 3 to 5 minutes to re-establish itself and the connections to my many peripherals and devices.

Great smart plug. Great app for scheduling. You can also control the plug using Bluetooth with the app
