Despite the GE website claims and written product instructions inside the box, this plug does not connect directly to Google home app. I tried upwards of 30 times on different days and different WiFi networks, with no success. Customer support offered no remedy. You'll have to download and use the Cync app to get the plug connected to your WiFi. This requires setup of a GE account, which took took 15+ hours for me to even achieve because the verification email needed to first log in is consistently delayed by several hours. After that saga, the plug was found by the Cync app relatively easily and you can then link your Cync account in the Google home app. Schedules for on/off can be configured in the Google app rather than having to do in Cync, fortunately. However, the indirect linking via Cync means that connection runs through the Cync servers which are unreliable (remember the verification email delay? that wasn't a one-off).

Hello Domino, we deeply apologize for the amount of effort it took to get your devices set up and linked to your Google Home. This is certainly not the intended outcome that we expect from commissioning our devices. If there is anything we can address or resolve for you please don't hesitate to contact us at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support

I purchased this on sale & specifically for the Christmas tree lights. It was simple to connect with the Google app but for some reason it disconnects itself. I’m able to use voice commands on my Google Home but via the Google app it usually shows “offline”. It’s good enough for the price and use for short term use but if you’re looking for something to use long term I’d try another brand.

Could not get it to connect. I went to the website to trouble shoot. In very fine print, it says it’s only compatible with 2.4 GHz internet. This was nowhere on the box or paper with directions. Waste of time.

Thank you for taking the time to review our Smart Plug. Cync WiFi-enabled devices are compatible with active 2.4GHz networks.

Defeats the purpose of a smart plug

MsPacNW - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
Lack of functionality defeats the purpose of a smart plug. Consistently disconnects itself from the WiFi network so it’s rarely available to control remotely. The accompanying app only has the ability to set a schedule to turn the plug off, not on - again, completely defeats the purpose of a programmable smart plug.

Hello MsPacNW, we have made changes to our scenes and schedules. The start and end times are now merged into only one schedule. You can find more info on our support article cyncsupport.gelighting.com/s/article/scenes-and-schedules. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943. -Cync Support

I had my clients purchase these to replace standalone timers that drift way too much. These connect to the router and keep time with the computers perfectly. One nice feature I like about these is if power goes out nothing has to be done to reset them. The come back on with power and work as scheduled.
I like it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am surprised how often I’ve actually used this once I got used to having it! I just use it to turn on a light, really, but it’s still convenient.I do not have a real frame of reference for the quality- I don’t know what the limits are or how long it will last, but I like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using a smart plug so I had a little difficulty initially getting the schedule to work out but I’m sure it was user error. I’m using this with my front window lamp. Works so easy with Google home that I am planning on getting a few more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this converts the plug to a smart plug. It’s easy to setup. Just download the app, pair and plug. You are ready to go and can control the device from your phone. It’s a great alternative when the smart device is not an option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few different 'smart' brands of outlets and bulbs that I've connected to my Alexa, and the GE Cync outlet has been just as easy as any to set up and use. You do have to dowoad the Cync app first in order to set it up, but after that you can pair it with Alexa (if that is your preference) and control it from there. Outlet has been responsive when I ask Alexa to turn it off and on and I haven't seemed to have any connection issues with it. Took just a couple of minutes to set it up. If you are controlling it through the Cync app, the app has a nice interface and is easy enough to navigate, but I think it's really built to handle a larger network of devices and doesn't make much sense to use (in my opinion) if you don't have multiple Cync devices you can add to it. I much prefer controlling all devices through the Alexa app. Overall it's a really nice smart outlet, easy to set up, and a good affordable price from a reputable brand. I'd purchase again if I am in the market for more smart outlets.
Works Like a Charm But Config was Not Intuitive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Smart Plug works great from the GE Sync app on my iPad. It is also controllable from the Google Home app if you use that, however it didn’t always respond to the Google Home app. Worked flawlessly with the Sync app, however. My complaint is with the set-up/configuration. The instructions were VERY sparse and left a lot to be figured out. For example, it says you can install it directly (and “seemlessly”) with the Google Home app, but it turned out that does not work; one has to first set it up with the Sync app, then link Sync to Google Home, and then Home can control the plug. After some trial and error I got it working but if you are installing a GE smart device for the first time, the thin instructions might send you down a couple dead ends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Lighting - GE Cync 120-Volt 1-Outlet Indoor Smart Plug worked well once it was set-up, but getting it set-up was a little more complicated than I anticipated. While you can use the Google Home app, you still need to have a Google hub/nest. Using the Cync app worked alright. It took a little bit of time to connect to the network but it worked eventually. You also have to enable a skill with the Amazon Alexa app to connect the plug.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: easy to setup, easy to use, works well, voice control, app control, scheduling options, can be paired with other CYNC devices Cons: none The GE CYNC 120-V 1 Outlet Indoor Smart Plug is really nice! This plug is easy to setup, easy to use, and it works really well. The instructions for how to setup this plug are very straightforward. I chose to set it up using the CYNC app on my phone and the process was quick and easy. Once you plug in the plug, you download the app, add the plug, then you can add voice control with Alexa or Google, and also control the plug via the app. The entire setup process is extremely automated the entire way, the app walks you through exactly what to do, making it fairly effortless. I had zero issues connecting the plug to the app. You can also control the plug when you aren’t home and set a schedule for lights to come on or turn off directly through the app. It can also be paired with other CYNC devices to work together as well. I am super happy with how easy it is to control and how well it works. All in all, this is a really nice smart plug. This smart plug is very easy to use, it’s easy to setup, and it works really well! I would absolutely recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient and easy set up right out of the box. Download the app or use your own voice assistant device. I plugged my lamp into it so I can come home at dark and not have to enter into a dark house. I can also control the lamp when I'm out of town to make my home look occupied. You can set a schedule to control them as well. I love having control of my home even when I'm not there.
