GE - CYNC Dimmer Smart Switch, No Neutral Wire Required, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wifi (Packing May Vary) - White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smart light switch is one of the best I've come across. It integrates seamlessly, whether you're team Google or Alexa. The hands down, best feature is being able to manage the lights from the phone app, without leaving the comfort of the covers. Also, I set up a routine in the app to have the lights come on automatically to make getting up just a bit easier. No additional hub is required, and it is beyond easy to install. Despite all of the automation, there is still a standard on/off/dimmer switch on the wall that I can use to mange the lights "the old fashioned way." I will be installing more of these lights throughout my house!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the switch is extremely easy to install. Simply connect the wires according to the provided wiring diagram and voila, you're off and running. When setting up the switch with the app, I ran into some issues initially with getting the switch to connect and in keeping the switch separate from the other smart bulbs I already had in the same room. Once I figured out that I had to place them in their own rooms in the Google Home app, I was good to go. I love the illuminated ring which makes it easy to locate the switch at night. It also gives it a high-end look for a not-so-high-end cost. Considering similar smart switches are double the price, if not more, this one is a great deal. As for the functionality, the reason why I wanted this particular switch so badly is that you're able to control non-smart bulbs using BOTH a regular on/off button AND with the Google Assistant. In addition, I wanted something that could fix my one-switch-is-always-in-the-on-position-and-it-drives-me-crazy three-way switch in our bedroom and this will do just the trick. I didn't want any indication of a switch being on or off in the three-way, since often one or more of the switches are in the "up" position, and in my mind it doesn't look clean. Obviously just a nit-picky thing but it is an important aesthetic for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you need a three-way switch that handles dimming and has smart integration this is a great selection. It configures dimming for all types of bulbs, which is a big deal. No light flicker, smooth operation and easy to set up automation schedules. The only issue is if you lose wireless connectivity the switch flips to a lower dimmer setting. You can manually bump it back up or use Alexa to voice control it to 100%.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I may need more time with this switch to get the best verdict on it, but so far it has kind of been hit or miss. The installation part was actually pretty easy. Setting up Alexa and getting it to stay connected was a whole other matter. Not sure yet if it's a wifi issue or software issue, but it hasn't been consistent and can be borderline frustrating sometimes. Will tinker with it more cuz I really want this to work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this C by GE 3-Wire Dimmer Smart Switch I like how easy it was to install. The best thing about it was there was no electrical connection required. I also liked that it mounts anywhere without wires.
