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

Can only be set up or used with a special app.

Love this! I needed a solution for my outdoor spa in back yard (on large concrete slab 30 feet from house. Works like a charm and waterproof. We love the east on and off with Alexa devices “Alexa, turn on spa lights”

Bought this for my gazebo to allow the ability to turn string lights and gazebo fan on and off. One outlet (that controls the lights) I put on a timer to turn on and off at dusk and dawn. Other outlet we turn on when want to run the fan. Very heavy duty plug. It under gazebo so protected from rain. App is very easy to use and works great!

I’m still exploring the many ways I can use these… love them

I used this for holiday lights and I love the timer. I can set it and just forget about it. My lights would come on when I wanted them to and turn off when I wanted them off.

So, I ended up sending this product back. Before I say why I will say that it felt like it was built good, and I am sure it would do the job. Now the However, I have a lot of smart home devices, so I use a generic app called smart life. I use this because I don’t want to have 5 or 6 different apps to control all my devices. This product will not integrate with anything else than their own proprietary app. I have confirmed this with their tech support team. Now it says it will with Google Home or Alexa however you must download their app and set it up. If you are like me and have smart bulbs, outlets, garage door, heater, sprinklers etc. You will want one app to control it all.

I’ve only used google assistant, however I imagine using Alexa would be the same. This product is great, my wife and I have been using this since we put out christmas light up outside and she never was a big person on smart home products but she really enjoys this one as well as the light bulbs. Highly recommend, have not had a problem with it. Very durable in extreme weather. Had two major storms and this product has very great through the storms and after.

Bought one of these in January, and it has stopped working. Expected it to last longer!

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.

App is the worst I’ve ever tried to use. Have used it for a couple of years and has been a family joke that the app is possessed, with random turn-on and turn-off of outdoor lights and fountain. Much too much time spent, unsuccessfully trying to find causes in app. Finally had enough and am replacing!
