Customers are saying

Customers highly value the ease of use, brightness adjustability, and affordability of the A19 Smart LED Light Bulbs. Many appreciate the compatibility with smart home devices like Google Home and Alexa, as well as the straightforward setup process. However, some users experienced connectivity issues and found the accompanying app less than satisfactory. Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use and price outweighs the negative comments regarding the app and connectivity.

    Quirky but does do the trick once in a while and saves getting out of bed. I would hope that as the software improves this functionality will too.

    After spending multiple hours with Cync technical staff and after their inability to fix intermittent non-functioning of these bulbs with Google Home, we were compelled to return product. We replaced bulbs with FEIT and synced with Google Home and everything now working absolutely perfectly. Our problems started when GE supposedly sold to Savant/Cync about a year ago.

      We are sorry to hear that you ran into issues pairing our lights to your wifi network. These devices require a 2.4ghz wifi network to connect and use, and may have issues getting connected to blended networks. The workaround is to disable 5g momentarily to connect and then re-enabling it. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you need any assistance. -Cync Support Team

    ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE BULBS (Not so "Smart")

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

    HORRIBLE. All 4 did not work with my Google Nest Mini and they were purchased as a bundle. The Google nest works with every other device that it was set up too (only 2 others) but it could not recognize the bulbs DAILY. I literally had to reset the bulbs (individually) and the Google Mini EVERY DAY to get them to work....what's the point. Buy a different brand!

      Sorry to hear your devices are not pairing to Google Home. If you have already reset the bulbs before you should not have to repeat that what helps is to power down the Google device you are using to control your lights for 1 minute then power back up. Feel free to contact us for additional support at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support Team
