Quick Start Guide

Q: I want to set up my grandparents house with my Google home mini. I'd like to set up the Google home itself in their living room, but I also need something they can talk to in their bedrooms and bathrooms so they don't have to use the home app. Would this

A: Hey, Searruh. That's a great question. The C reach is a hub that allows for Alexa and Google voice functionality for your C by GE smart bulbs. Your grandparents could use the Google home app or would have to get another Voice Assistant for the bedroom and bathroom.I hope this information helps! Please chat in or give us a call for further assistance. 1-844-302-2943

Q: If I wanted to set up voice control for Siri to control all the lights in my apartment would I have to buy one of these for each room or could I use just one for all the lights?

A: Thanks for reaching out Nick! That would depend on the distance of the other lights to the C-Reach and where you have it positioned. If you place in a hallway between rooms it should be enough to cover both of the rooms etc. Feel free to reach out to us if you have more questions at 1-844-302-2943 or [email protected]. -C by GE Support

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Made my GE lights more usable
I bought 6 c-sleep bulbs earlier this year to dip my feet in IoT devices. They were Bluetooth only and only worked with the google home app. I quickly realized given the devices already in my home, HomeKit could be a better solution. Had to buy this to get HomeKit compatibility basically. The bridge was a bit temperamental with setup (as are the bulbs), but factory resetting both the bridge and the bulbs made it all work. Now I’m using my GE lights again, after I had abandoned them for Hue. In the end, this product was only worth it for the HomeKit addition. As a result, I am now more interested in buying additional GE bulbs to go with my Hue lights. More options is always better

Didn’t work well for me
We have Alexa’s in our apartment and received the google home lights as a house gift but in order for them to work with Alexa we needed this hub. The hub seemed to have connection issues and only allowed us to have one person use the app at a time.
