    Very glitchy and not worth your time

    Initial setup was a pain. Lights would not show up in either the Google Home or C by GE apps but after multiple tries they showed up. After being connected to Google home, they were not responding the entire time until I turn them off and on and they started to work. There is a delay between the bulbs. One will turn on before the other or change color before the other. Now, the bulb set as bulb #2 just doesn't work at all with Google Home or the GE app. It isn't even one specific bulb, just the one that is named the second one. I will be returning these and getting another brand.

      BirbTechEnthusiast, we are sorry to hear about the issues you have had with connectivity. This is not usually typical behavior that the app or our products should be doing. If we could get a chance to rectify this issue for you we would be more than happy to resolve this. We can be reached at 844-302-2943.

    Do not buy GE smart products

    The light works, but the app used to control the light is absolute trash. It rarely works and makes the lights nearly impossible to control.

    These are Bluetooth- run away!

    Look, just don't ever buy anything smart home that is based on Bluetooth wireless. This was a mis-step by GE's design group 5 years ago, but I guess they decided to run with it. Smh. Marketing is driving these things now. Bottom line, bluetooth is short-range control. Period. How far can you walk away from your phone with your Bluetooth headset? And you think these will work further? Nobody else in the market uses Bluetooth for this type of device. Why? Because it is so unreliable. Btw, I am an IT network and wireless engineer. Creds.

    No purple, have to buy extra hardware to use with

    Box started "simple set up, no hub required" but in order to use with my Google app I have to buy a Google nest or something like it. AND the light goes from pink to blue, no purple at all. Bogus. Sylvania and feit both work with Google home app just fine.

      Thanks for reaching out! If you intend to use Google Home for voice control you will need a Google voice speaker that you can talk into to control your devices. Thank you for at least giving our devices a try and we hope we can win your business again someday. -Cync Support Team

    Using with Google home ruins product experience

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Absolutely DOES NOT work well with Google home. 80% of the time the app won't ever respond to Google home commands, 15% of the time it's about a minute late or only commands one light at a time. 5% it works some times
