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

Works seamlessly. If you lose wifi, there are buttons you can use to manually turn on and off.

This has to be the biggest waste of money all year! I have a no name 4 outlet plug that works way better and it was half the price. This looks nice and it seems nice but for starters, it is not very small and compact as the photos. Not a big deal. It worked for a minute with the app that has a 2 star rating but then it is continually Not Found! Restart the app and still not found. Unplug the device and plug it back in and it works! ONCE! Then you start over again. So basically you may as well save yourself some money and walk outside and pull the plug out yourself. Now try syncing with Alexa or Google Home! You think using the app was bad? You are in for an experience here! Everything works just the same as with the 2 star app! However now you can hear Alexa tell you the plug isnt responding! I would love this to be all that was bad about this but wait, theres more! In the description it says you get an outlet cover to make it usable outdoors and it show a clear plastic cover to make it usable! Yeah, it isnt in the box! The only thing in the box is the useless plug, a useless instructions manual and wait for it... 1 screw and a cheap plastic drywall anchor. You know in case you want to mount this on your drywall outside in the driveway. This is literally the second time in a week Amazon sold me garbage. They have a wonderful return policy as long as you dont mind driving it to a ups store or a Kohls or an Amazon locker. How about you pick it up when you drop off the new one that works? Or stop selling junk! Do some research before listing deal of the day items? I buy based on trust, this is obviously useless junk according to the app reviews. The app needed is called cync? When you try to connect to your Alexa or echo, there isnt a n option for this brand. If you use the selection labeled GE, it wont let you continue without a hub! So skip this and go to add skill. Then it asks for all your information and then asks are you sure? I should have taken the hint... Stay away from this unless you are in the mood to drive to return it or just waste your money. In case I didnt get my message across, this product is garbage!

Setting up the plugs in the cync app is easy and they work great. The problems lies with setting it up with alexa. I was only able to get 1 side on 2 plugs working. It is almost like alexa gets confused with it. I even had the plug replaced and it did the same thing with all three plugs. Basically I am only able to control one outlet on each plug because alexa cannot find the second outlet on the plugs. I also spent plenty of time on the phone with both GE and Amazon alexa support. Neither know what is happening or how to fix it.

As with all connected devices, they either work, or not. This one would of gotten five stars, but Google home says “device off-line” even though it does turn the device On/Off. Not sure why this is, but it is. I use this for turning on a 1/4 HP (6,600 gph) water pump; handles the AMP load perfectly.

I LOVE this smart plug , it was so simple to install , I’m not tech savvy so I usually don’t set anything up but 5 minutes and my outdoor lights can be turned on from inside the home , can’t say enough about this item , it’s a must have

Easy to use and works great controlling my spot light and Christmas lights

Easy to setup and works as advertised. Rain has not stopped it. Outdoor lights come on at sunset and go off as planned.

It arrived on time and was easy to set up.
