Work flawlessly I’m loving it
What I like about them they’re small compact I replaced all my wemo plugs with these. When will plugs compared to these well let’s just say they work way better. Wemo smart plugs have a tendency to go offline they don’t update they don’t show up they don’t respond. These GE smart plugs work fabulous. I’m very pleased with the product they don’t go offline and do all the crazy stuff that WeMo smart plug did. I would not recommend wemo smart plugs. I have older versions and newer versions and they still suck. Set up as a breeze compared to the wemo. so if you’re looking for a simple to use easy to set up I would definitely get the GE smart plug. I’ve had a couple other off-brand smart plugs they just don’t work that great.I have a Google ecosystem in my home I do have Alexa but I mainly only use Google products. Or products that are native to Google home. The GE the lineup is definitely more native to Google. You’re able to set up these plugs in the Google home app but I set them up in the GE app but the automatically go into your Google home. So in the past month I will have bought eight of these. I just recently purchased their smart light color I’m very pleased with that as well. I have bought in about nine of those light strips. I am fully invested into the Philips hue as well. My whole home is covered in smart home lights and honestly I think for the money GE has just as good lights as Phillips. But this isn’t about the lights this is about the smart plug I would definitely recommend GE smart products any day.

Fixed my smart lights connectivity issue to Google Home.
I installed several C by GE lights a year or so ago and connected them to Google Home which worked fine… for a while. Then one day…. they stopped connecting for more than a day or so before getting lost. Read you needed a C by GE device which acts as a bridge. (Why this suddenly became a requirement? who knows..) Anyway after resetting the lights and connecting them to the C by GE (Cync) App and moving them back to google home, I have had no issues.

Extremely difficult to use with anything BUT the GE app
The box boasted the motion detector works great with Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home. It doesn’t. In fact, their Tech Support will admit to that. But the box says otherwise. So, I figured I need a hub to link this thing to my vast Alexa/Google-friendly network. I get a GE plug device that says it’s also a hub! It’s not!Oh the device works great with the GE app, as does the motion detector. The bulb or plug works with Amazon’s Alexa just fine. The motion detector is almost invisible without the vendor’s specific app, BUT, whatever group you put it in, it will control the ON/OFF of those devices.It was hard to figure out, and not until I spoke with their Tech Support did it begin to make sense. For turning the lights on in my bedroom closet, or kitchen pantry, this sensor works great! BUT … I like to “see” these devices on my Alexa app. It won’t happen with this one.

Works as it should with HomeKit… finally!
Recently GE updated the C by GE app for iOS. Firmware was also updated for devices. I use the C by GE products with HomeKit via the C-reach hub. This update has fixed all issues, but required me to delete and recreate my setup to get everything working. Before deleting and recreating my setup everything was sort of half working. Afterward all devices respond instantly… everything works nicely with HomeKit. 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. Not sure if this is a HomeKit issue exactly, but it seems to be a problem experienced when using bulbs from other manufacturers as well… perhaps a future update will straighten this out… for now it isnât a big deal. I just set the bulbs to the color I want in the C by GE app and just use HomeKit to turn them on and off, maintaining the color stored as the last used by each bulb. I was worried when I first tried this platform by GE, but I am happy now and I will stick with it… it suits my needs for a more reasonable price than other options.

Good cheap basic smart plug that works just fine
Picked up 2 of these for 20$ over the holidays. I have not had any problems with them at all. Setup first try. Works with Alexa and Google Assistant just like youâd expect. Other users must be trying to add them as devices to Alexa and thatâs not how these work. You must enable the c by ge skill. Same for Google Assistant. C by Ge lights can be setup directly to a Google Home speaker without the GE app but these do not work that way. Also if you plan on using smart home products invest in a decent router and configure the dual bands as 2 networks. My ISP router did not play well with any of my smart home devices after about 10 devices. Ever since I installed my Netgear Nighthawk, all 50 of my various smart home gadgets have been flawless. Donât listen to all the negative reviews. This is a cheap simple device that does no more than what it needs to. App & voice control.

Horrible product that constantly has problems
This is a terrible product now! It worked well in the beginning, but as soon as they switched over to Cync, it stopped working properly, sometimes at all. When GE switched to Cync, all my information was deleted, so I had to recreate an account, sync all the plugs to the new account, and redo everything for the Alexa. It took hours. Now they constantly have trouble at whatever facility that helps run these smart plugs. Server is always unresponsive. Absolute crap. Total waste of money. I thought I’d save a little by not buying Hue, but all I did was screw myself from getting a working product. Whoever you allowed to take over looking after your products GE, you screwed up bad. They have horribly tainted your name for me. Worthless.

NO FUNCIONA CON ALEXA!!Dice que funciona con el asistente de Alexa, pero no es verdad, te pide que instales una aplicación tediosa que te pide que enciendas tu ubicación y tú Bluetooth, y que inicies sesión y registres tu smart plug, pero no deja que la aplicación de Alexa lo detecte, dice el instructivo que tienes que activar una skill de “C by GE” la cuál no existe!!! Por lo que es imposible darla de alta
