GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulb, Color Changing Lights, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Lights, Works with Alexa and Google Home, A19 Light Bulb (1 Pack)

I have been through dozens of lights for my Alexis system. I have always had a problem with the Wi-Fi connections because every time you lose internet you lose everything on your household system. When I upgraded from 2.4 g to 5G networking inside my house, all of my 2.4 g lights cease to function. Day better, which also makes a light was a disaster of epic proportions to the point where I threatened to sue them for the lies they had told. Then I got these bulbs. I literally plug them in and told my Alexa to go find something Bluetooth and I have not had a problem with my lights since that day when the internet goes out, as soon as it comes back on all of my lights reconnect to their appropriate Alexa devices. Devices. At this point, if you are serious about fully automating all the lights in your home, this is the only system I have found that leads to more light and less frustration. Frustration. Before this, all I ever had was rage and darkness. Now I can tell my lights to turn on and off at will.

I purchased a single bulb and I was able to get it connected and working the first night, loved playing with the colors. Ordered 2 more. The next day, I was unable to connect to original light, now the Cync app won’t even find the original bulb. Did the factory reset per the GE support, and I could get it to connect for a moment…. Just don’t close the app, because you lose your devices. And attempting to set it up with Alexa…. Forget it, she can’t find it either.

This is not the only automated Home app that I have difficulty using. It’s kind of glitchy, but you cannot use these lightbulbs without the app if you want to use them remotely. I set up the app to control the lightbulbs on a regular schedule. Sometimes one or more of the lightbulbs don’t come on properly and I have to go out manually to the app and adjust it. Also remember that if your family members don’t have the app. They really can’t adjust the lights except for turning them on and off. Just an FYI, for bulbs that are like this.

I've owned the GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulb for nearly three years, and it is installed in our outdoor garage light fixture. I have found that many smart devices go offline quite easily, often when the software is updated, or when there is a power outage. The GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulb has consistently retained its programming over the years. If I had any complaint, it is that the phone app is a bit more complicated than is necessary. I know this is to allow the maximum flexibility in programming timing, color, and brightness, but at the risk of being the "Okay Boomer", I think there could be a simpler procedure to just program the light to go on and off and then perhaps another level of complexity if you want to change colors, brightness, or program multiple devices.I also have a GE Cync programmable exterior outlet for my Christmas decorations that is controlled by the same phone app, and the program does allow for easy selection of which device needs to be programmed.While I hope the GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulb will last a few more years, I am confident that I will purchase this product again.

I love how you can switch the colors of the light!

the color changing part is a real novelty, the best part is changing shades of white to fit the setting and how dim it can go for those times you're trying to not wake anyone. you can set it to just stay on with the flip of a switch or just keep it connected to your phone, as well as name all the different lights and control all the lights in your home from your phone.

I’ve had this light bulb for a little less than two years, and it won’t turn on no matter what I try. The power in my apartment intermittently goes off, and I’ve had numerous problems with the light refusing to connect afterwards. While factory resetting it (have tried all the ways they offer online) has worked before, the light no longer responds to any of the factory reset directions provided by Cync online. I’ve tried switching the bulb to other lamps (and vice versa) to see if the lamp was the problem, but it is clear the problem lies with the bulb since it won’t as much as flicker on when I screw it into a new lamp that I know for a fact works. When I’ve put other bulbs in the original lamp, they all turn on no problem, so the issue is clearly with the Cync bulb. This product seems like a waste of money considering how little time it actually worked for and more trouble than it’s worth given all the different factory resets you have to try and other troubleshooting through their app which may or may not even end up fixing your problem.

When I originally outfitted my house with these bulbs, they would have gotten a two-star review.Subsequent updates have pushed this to the five-star territory. Any issues I used to have been resolved.Their tech support is also very responsive, many of the issues I had and reported were fixed in subsequent software updates.Integration with Google Assistant/Home is top-notch.
