Kkenzie16 - 16 days ago
I’ve had this device for years now. Concept is great but the routines are VERY inconsistent. I have my outdoor lights to go on from 6pm-11pm. Woke up one night to them being on at 3am. This has happened multiple times. Sometimes they don’t even turn on. I like the two plugs and the app access but I can’t rely on it ever.

These smart outdoor plugs have become my go-to. No more needing light to set the lights on and off. The app is a bit weird to program at first, but I like that you can program each plug individually and pair multiple smart plugs into groups. Price is a bit high, but I think it’s worth the price of admission.

Bought one, couldn’t get the right outlet to connect at all. Deleted and reinstalled over and over, no luck. Got a second one, looked like someone had returned it. It wouldn’t even begin the setup process (probably because it was still connected to their account). I don’t recommend.

Emily S - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I see lots of negative reviews. I’m not sure why but it seems they couldn’t figure out setup? I used the Cync app as instructed and everything was very straight forward. It took about 15 min no more. You go from screen to screen w a small set of instructions. Simple. Then I was prompted to connect Amazon Alexa or google home. I chose Amazon Alexa granted permissions to both apps and the switch appears in my Amazon Alexa app w my other smart devices. I easily set a routine for the plug so outlet one (my lights) go on at sunset and off at sunrise every day. I am able to set outlet two on a different schedule for my fog machine. You can use one outlet and not use the other which is convenient for my light and fog machine set up. I’ve now had it for about a week with no troubles. Today is the first heavy rain so we will see how it holds up, but so far everything is working as it should!

Thao T - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
It looked like easy setup through the app, but it ended up being very complicated and I wasn't even able to get the lights to work with the device. So it was returned. I'd save more time manually going outside to plug the lights in and turn them off.

We appreciate the honest review and regret any hiccups or complications you had with set up. We are always looking for ways to improve it and require feedback such as this. -Cync Support Team

Dislike: Have to be up close to control! Can’t control from a distance if you forget to turn off.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. As long as your devices linked to a 2.4ghz wifi network and there is a data connection on your device you should be able to control even away from home. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you need assistance. -Cync Support Team

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE Snyc outdoor plug is something I would consider a basic, affordable plug. It's bigger than I anticipated but once you delve through getting it connected, it does work. It took some time to discover, which was definitely frustrating. Once I finally connected it was easy to navigate.
Christmas Miracle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't do many lights outside for the holidays, but I have two family heirlooms that are a light up Santa and a light up Frosty. I hate leaving them on all night and day, but it is hard to remember to unplug them and turn them off in the morning craziness before work and school. This plug is really great quality and works!
Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smart plugs are easy to set up... I also use the full color bulbs and the C by GE dimmer switches. All devices now have solid communication through the C-reach hub and HomeKit functions are good. The only problem at the moment has to do with the way the bulbs when used with HomeKit handle color... not as bright and sharp as in the C by GE app
Very Cool!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an absolute must have for any outdoor decorations for the holidays. Makes it very easy to control the on/off controls for any yard art. We used it for Halloween decorations, Thanksgiving and soon Christmas. Super easy set up for those that aren't super tech savvy.
Easy to use all in one plug

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was super easy to use. I have an outdoor area with a fountain and I didn’t want it to just stay running all the time so I got this plug so I could turn it off and on from a app. It works great for that. I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to use and syncs up with Alexa and Google home. The app is easy to use and so easy to set up. I used it with my Halloween inflatables and it worked great! I will be using it for my holiday decorations from now on. I think I’m also going to get one for my lamps indoors so that I can set a timer for my house lights. It’s a great idea for when I’m out of town and don’t want anyone to know.
A smart solution!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the process of making my whole house “smart” so this product really fit my need for an outdoor plug. I used it for Halloween lights and was able to easily turn the lights on using Alexa. I plan on using this for my Christmas lights as well and will buy another in the near future.
