Easy set up if your hvac wires are in order, specially the C wire. If not, it may take some time to figure out what goes where. I have the blue C wire, but it wasn't properly connect and it took me a few hours to figure out where to connect it for power. Other than that, pretty straight forward.
Had a little issue adding device to home. When setting up in app, make sure you choose only the wires that's connected. App is fairly simple to use. Only problem I had was the auto setting is a bit confusing. There's no one temperature to set at, There's a range between heating and cooling you have to set and it doesn't keep a constant temperature. It fluctuates a few degrees.
When installing, decide if you want to use the back plate or not before you connect the wires. Otherwise, you'll have to disconnect them to add the plate.
Annoying at first to connect, but works as it design to. Now, you can control your thermostat from anywhere.
Not a fan of the oval shape, but already had a few Cync device and app.
Suppoort respond fairly quickly, but hand you from one tech to the next that doesn't seem to understand your specific issue before giving an answer. You'd be better of figuring it out yourself.

One cannot go wrong with a GE product. This thermostat is so easy to install, set the schedule, and forget about it! My condo is cooler at night while I sleep and a few degrees warmer during the day! One can even see how much energy it is using! Buy it!

I picked up the GE Cync Smart Thermostat because I wanted something easy to install and control from my phone without spending a fortune. Setup was straightforward, and I like that it works with Alexa and Google Assistant. The Cync app is clean, and scheduling is simple enough for anyone to figure out.
That said, it’s definitely a “no-frills” smart thermostat. There’s no learning mode like Nest, no humidity or outdoor temperature display, and the screen stays on all the time with no dimming option—which can be annoying in a bedroom. It’s also not Energy Star certified, so don’t expect advanced energy savings features.
If you just want an affordable thermostat you can control remotely and you don’t need all the bells and whistles, this one is worth considering. But if you’re after advanced automation or extra customization, you might want to look at Ecobee or Nest instead.

Configuration without wifi is the only reason for 4 star review. Initially I had no internet when installing this thermostat and the paperwork with the thermostat did not mention the setup menu from what I could find. I really like the functionality and even bought a second thermostat for my other unit.
The app makes setup simple and under normal circumstances would be outstanding.
Thermostat is a small frame so expect some touchup paint around the thermostat

I loved this thermostat, but unfortunately I’m getting my refund on this as soon as I get a replacement. Setup was easy and it runs great, but after two days the screen started falling off and won’t stay on. No one else has this in stock and I don’t have a week to go without a thermostat when it’s 95 degrees here everyday. They need to improve their quality control.

The GE Cync Smart Programmable Thermostat offers a user-friendly and cost-effective solution for those seeking smart climate control in their homes. I got it on sale for about half the price. it features Wi-Fi connectivity, voice control compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant, and supports programmable scheduling through the Cync mobile app. It is a solid choice for those already invested in the Cync ecosystem or seeking a straightforward smart thermostat with essential features. However, users desiring broader smart home integration or more advanced features might explore other options.

Thermostat was on a clearance deal and picked it up at a really good price. Never had a smart thermostat so all the features and uses are really nice especially being able to use the app on your phone. It also looks pretty nice and was easy to install. Overall very pleased with it

Had a Best Buy third party service provider intall this thermostat (1of2) and so far I’ve been toying around getting use to it and the app as this is the very first one I’ve ever bought and I can tell you that it’s been phenomenal especially with the heatwave that’s going on. It’s easy to use plus I love the fact I can change the temperature of my house away from home. I do recommend this product

Main reason I decided to purchase this thermostat over the other ones was that it included the trim plate. Plate is a little oversized which is perfect to cover the outline of my old one. There is 2 things I didn't like, "didn't like that I have to use the app to set the schedules". Don't like that it doesn't display the time like my previous thermostat. Besides that it's a nice thermostat.
