    Great hardware, horrid software. The software got so bad with it's updates that I cashed in my protection plan and replaced it.

    Do not buy! They are hard to connect to Alexa and the Cync app. You have turn the Wi-Fi off on your phone to even log into the app then you have to make sure to remember to turn the Wi-Fi back on during set up. Don’t let lightning strike! It is impossible to get all the lights connected! I have 3/8 light that’s are connected two are connected through Alexa and one on the Cync app!

    I bought these back in 4/25/2021 and decided to see how they would hold up. Well it’s currently 11/9/2021 as I write this review and originally it did work flawlessly with my Alexa and iPhone, but now it won’t even connect to my own wi-fi. I tried rebooting it and troubleshooting it anyway I can and there’s no helping it. Save yourself the stress and money and invest a little more into a bigger name brand like Philips Hue.

    Smart color changing light bulbs that I can control with Alexa. Easy to sync and very helpful. They are dimmable and it’s nice to set a mood in each room. Price is the best value!

    Will not link to my network even when it is within 5 ft. of the router. Asks too many questions for a complicated setup when all I want to do is turn the darned things on and off.

    The absolute worst tech for Google assistant, they don’t stay paired, and have to be manually reset. Enjoy hours of flipping the light switch on and off in 8 second intervals until you go insane. C by GE will often not be available when Google tries to turn off the lights and your lights will not reconnect until you power cycle your router…Just don’t buy these.

      We are upset to hear that your experience was anything short of enjoyable. Cync devices are only compatible with 2.4GHz Wi-FI networks, they will not work if your network is 5GHz. This information can be found in either your phone's Wi-Fi settings or by calling your internet service provider. In the event you have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, we would like to assist in getting your devices setup. Please consider contacting our live Support Team at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync

    Didn't work! It wouldn't connect, I followed the instruction and reset the bulb and finally got both bulbs to connect and all I could do is test the bulb which makes it blink 6 times, turn off and on and dim. NO COLORS! I went back in a few days to try again and they would not connect. I'm not going to reset this every time I turn my light on. It will be going back. I really wanted these to work.
