The On/Off Cync Smart Plug makes any lamp or device that plugs into a wall outlet smart. The built-in WiFi bridge adds out-of-home control for your lighting and devices and voice control when paired with a voice assistant. The plug also enables scheduling and scene setting to traditional bulbs and devices. The Smart Plug adds smart functionality to fixtures where smart bulbs won't fit or match the look of the fixture. Pair the Smart Plug with Cync or C by GE Smart Bulbs in other fixtures and Cync Smart Switches to control all your lights together. Use the Smart Plug with other devices like curling irons, fans and electronic devices to turn them on or off remotely or schedule them to operate around your routine. The Smart Plug connects directly with Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices (sold separately) - no hub required. Simply plug into a standard wall socket and you're ready to go.
A: Ultimately I ended up with 8 lights connected via WiFi through the bridge. You may be able to add more but I haven't yet. As long as it's within 20-30 feet of your first bulb and your first bulb is within 20-30 feet of the next, etc then you should be fine. They create a Bluetooth mesh network where one device acts as an extended to the next. There is a small amount of additional latency for every step though. My furthest bulb was in a closet through 3 poured concrete walls about 90' from the bridge. However I had another light in my bedroom lamp about 10' and 1 doorway away from that closet...and then another hallway light 15-20' from the bedroom light etc. It all worked fine and they responded to voice commands within a second or 2.
Q: Will this plug work with Alexa?
A: Hi Maggie! Our Smart Plug is compa Alexa. Once it's added to the C by GE app, you would just need to add the C by GE Skill in the Alexa app and then tell Alexa to Discover new devices.
