    Frustrating Lights

    It said in the packaging that it is compatible with Google Home. And it worked. About 10% of the time. These are extremely frustrating. Finally my wife just told me to return them so I did and bought Phillips Hue instead because they do work with Google Home

    Buyer Beware! How is it possible to be scammed by a lightbulb? Well if you buy this one here you will be. The light gives a normal yellow glow, when you go to download and use the Cync APP, you are forced into a subscription! Why should I pay monthly for COLORED LIGHTBULBS? Wild!! Returning!

      Hi Jasmine - Oh no! It looks like you may have downloaded the incorrect app. Our app is called "Cync (the new name of C by GE)" and is available in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. We do not require a subscription to control colors with our smart light bulbs. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-844-302-2943 so we can assist. -Cync Support Team

    4 bulbs, all break if they’re controlled by the phone while plugged into a ceiling fan. Owned for 3 months. Get LIFX or Govee, these are pathetic. To reset the bulb it’s a puzzle game, good luck.
