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

Work s like a charm, easy to install

This is my second one because the other one I have is so good and reliable. Disappointed a bit because the box was ripped and taped back up with scotch tape, upon opening the device had clearly been out of the box and used before me. I plugged it in anyways and set it up and it is working and connecting remotely fine. I dont like doing this with electronics though as you never know if the previous person might have overloaded or damaged it. Just disappointed with a used one at full price. I may return it or should at least get a charge back for the difference to a used one.

This worked out great and helped save energy with the ability to set certain times to come on and turn off.

So, I ended up sending this product back. Before I say why I will say that it felt like it was built good, and I am sure it would do the job. Now the However, I have a lot of smart home devices, so I use a generic app called smart life. I use this because I don’t want to have 5 or 6 different apps to control all my devices. This product will not integrate with anything else than their own proprietary app. I have confirmed this with their tech support team. Now it says it will with Google Home or Alexa however you must download their app and set it up. If you are like me and have smart bulbs, outlets, garage door, heater, sprinklers etc. You will want one app to control it all.

I purchased a total of four of these devices and they work perfectly as intended. They interact easily with Alexa and the app that you use to control them and set them up is exceptionally well thought out and very-very easy to use. This is simply the best wifi outdoor switch I have found.

Works like a charm

I have two plugs on the outside of my house that I use for my Christmas lights. In the past, I had used timers to get them to come on and off. Seemed like I could never get them in sync so the lights would turn on and off at the same time. Also trying to adjust for sunset was tricky. I purchased two of these and connected them to my Wi-Fi meshed network. (I mention my mesh network as needed good wi-fi signals outdoors and a long ways apart.) If you have not set up smart switches previously this is a little tricky to set up and run on and off at the right time. But if you are already used to smart switches and Alexa integration this is a typical installation.

This came up on the deal truck and I figured I could use another smart plug especially for my patio string lights so I didn’t have to keep fumbling behind a cabinet to unplug them every night. I can turn them off now from bed if I forget! The setup was super easy and I love that it can be used so easily outdoors!

Functionally this works great. Quite a bit of work to setup with the Alexa app, then it won’t stay connected. It works great with the GE Cync app, showing connected in Cync, but showing unresponsive in Alexa 50% of the time.

Love this! I needed a solution for my outdoor spa in back yard (on large concrete slab 30 feet from house. Works like a charm and waterproof. We love the east on and off with Alexa devices “Alexa, turn on spa lights”
