GE Lighting CYNC Outdoor Smart Plug, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Outlet Socket, Weather Resistant Plug, Voice Control Outlet, Works with Alexa and Google Home

Works but just barely. Atleast on IOS this is a pass. Constantly having to connect. Better off going over and turning the lights off yourself.

These was super easy to link with Google.

I purchased a total of four of these devices and they work perfectly as intended. They interact easily with Alexa and the app that you use to control them and set them up is exceptionally well thought out and very-very easy to use. This is simply the best wifi outdoor switch I have found.

This is my second one because the other one I have is so good and reliable. Disappointed a bit because the box was ripped and taped back up with scotch tape, upon opening the device had clearly been out of the box and used before me. I plugged it in anyways and set it up and it is working and connecting remotely fine. I dont like doing this with electronics though as you never know if the previous person might have overloaded or damaged it. Just disappointed with a used one at full price. I may return it or should at least get a charge back for the difference to a used one.

This was really easy to pair with my existing GE Cync app and account, but Ive noticed one small issue - I have strings of LED Christmas lights plugged into it, and, even when the outlets are Off, the LED lights have a very slight light to them, as if there is a small amount of voltage leaking when the switch is off. I have not contacted GE, yet, nor have I measured with a multi-meter to see how much voltage is leaking.

This device works fine if you are okay with controlling the outlet manually with your phone or voice with Alexa however the scheduling feature does not work!!! First, you are only able to select an ON time for your outlet and not an off time. It still must be manually turned off…so what’s the point? When I realized this I deleted the “schedule” that I set up and even after deleting it the lights are still turning on automatically at 5pm….very frustrating! Lastly I will open the app to turn on an outlet and The toggle for the outlet will show its ON even though it’s not. I’ll have to close the app and open it new in order for it to accurately show the toggle in the correct off position.

This came up on the deal truck and I figured I could use another smart plug especially for my patio string lights so I didn’t have to keep fumbling behind a cabinet to unplug them every night. I can turn them off now from bed if I forget! The setup was super easy and I love that it can be used so easily outdoors!

Some complicated scheduling options but no simple count down timer which was disappointing. Otherwise works well!

This is sturdy and well made. Connects to wi fi easily. But the GE app (Cync) sucks - you can program a time for the thing to turn on, but you have to turn off manually. Doesn’t work with Google Home or Apple Home Kit. Haven’t tried Alexa but I’m pretty sure it’ll suck too. I wish they fixed their app, then they’d get a 5* rating.

This has been a godsend to my patio light display. I can control the lights withought ever going outside. The 2nd outlet I use for charging my batteries for my garden tools. I’m able to turn it off after batteries being charged so it doesn’t ruin them. Bluetooth is a breeze to set up.
