Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Cync Smart Dimmer Remote, particularly its ease of use and remote control functionality. Many find it simple to set up and appreciate the convenience of controlling it without needing a phone. The overall performance of the dimmer is also well-received. However, some customers have noted an issue with the color settings, specifically a jump in the preset warm color settings.

    Works well for turning on and off. Have my lights connected to our Ring monitor so it’s perfect for every time we wake up in the middle of the night and need to turn it off quickly, however not so great at dimming and moving from warm to cool.

    Feels decently solid. Magnetic back is great! Wish it could handle changing the colors and not just shades of white but it is what it is.

    Dimmer works great unless you have a routine set with a schedule. I doesn't like to talk to the bulb the first time and takes a few attempts to make it work as intended, every time.

    I would appreciate GE explaining how to change colors using the remote. I have a color bulb and can change in the app on my phone,but the remote just changes the tone of white. Am I missing something?

      Hi PeekyBeach, unfortunately the remote only controls the brightness and tones of white light. They are intended to be used with our non full color bulbs such as the tunable white bulbs. Feel free to reach out to us at 1-844-302-2943 if you have any additional questions. -Cync Support Tream

    Set up was OK and worked well initially. I had to change the battery (less than 2 years after initial use), set up again and less than 2 months later I had to change battery again. After doing so, I have tried to set up the device several times to no avail. I have followed instructions, reset device and even green light is on but device does not turn lights on/off. I do not recommend this product.

    A bit annoying to set up. You need the c by ge app to use properly; it will not let you use another app like google home to set up. Also the color switching only goes to different shades of white, I could not figure out how to make it switch RGB colors.

      Thank you for the feedback. It looks like the combo pack you purchased did not include one of our full color light bulbs. The light included in the bundle is a tunable white light. I hope this information is helpful. -C by GE Support

    While you don’t absolutely need to have the remote it is much faster adjusting lights without having to open the app and wait for it to load.
