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

This device works fine if you are okay with controlling the outlet manually with your phone or voice with Alexa however the scheduling feature does not work!!! First, you are only able to select an ON time for your outlet and not an off time. It still must be manually turned off…so what’s the point? When I realized this I deleted the “schedule” that I set up and even after deleting it the lights are still turning on automatically at 5pm….very frustrating! Lastly I will open the app to turn on an outlet and The toggle for the outlet will show its ON even though it’s not. I’ll have to close the app and open it new in order for it to accurately show the toggle in the correct off position.

I had a unreasonably difficult time getting the schedule set up, granted this is my first smart plug. But after many trial and errors I got it figured out and the support line was also helpful.

I was excited to receive a GE branded smart plug. I was disappointed to discover the GE lights brand was sold to a Savant Technologies, privately owned and controlled by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts who manage private investment equities and their only interest in this venture is Money Money Money. I am returning all the Cync GE products I purchased. I dont trust Savant Technologies to support this platform beyond a few years.

It was really easy to setup and the integration with Alexa is top notch. Have been using this for a while and never had issues with accessing with Alexa. I would rate it better than Amazon basics devices like plugs and switches which I use and few of them have issues randomly but not this ge sync outdoor plug.

Some complicated scheduling options but no simple count down timer which was disappointing. Otherwise works well!

Love that each socket can be programmed independently of each other. I have some year round lights that I plug into the right outlet. And holiday lights that I plug into the left. I like to leave the year round lights on longer than the holiday lights. With this I no longer have to use two separate timers

Im controlling my deck lights from my phone. I can also override at the box. Works great!

Very good outdoor plug for the price.

How to turn off is another thing....Dont bother

This plug was very easy to set up. I had to download the GE Cync app. Followed the instructions, which included linking to Alexa voice control. Took less than five minutes. Now I can turn on the lights on my deck from inside my house. Very pleased with my purchase so far.
