    80% of these ones purchased have been defective and won’t connect to the cync app. The whole idea with c by GE is that it’s all in one ecosystem and because these outlets aren’t recognized and can’t be controlled by the app. This thing is utterly useless. I have ONE outlet that has worked correctly. Every other one I buy has a nice red exclamation mark right next to it. Truly next Gen technology. good luck getting anybody at Best Buy who has any knowledge on these products too. Every employee seems incompetently trained

    Used these to control Christmas lights. Once it's set up, it's easy to use, but getting the "scenes" configured and then setting schedule groups was a pain.

    I purchased and installed it. I use to get mad when I realized my daughter use to leave her lamp on overnight. Not anymore..... I just turn it off from my cell phone (you’ll have to download the app for that).
