Cync (the new name of C by GE)

Smart home control for Cync devices

Cync is the companion app for Cync smart home products, formerly sold under the C by GE name. It gives households one place to manage connected lighting, indoor cameras, outdoor smart plugs and other compatible devices. The app suits people who want room-by-room control from a phone, along with a more visual way to shape lighting at home.

Lighting with more control

Basic controls cover switching lights on or off, adjusting brightness and choosing colors. For users who care about matching a particular mood or room, Cync also supports detailed color adjustment, including RGB input and a dual color wheel. Devices can be arranged into rooms and smaller groups, such as separating island lights from other fixtures.

• Control supported Cync lights, cameras and smart plugs in one app.
• Use room and sub-room groupings for more precise device control.
• Adjust color and brightness rather than relying only on preset scenes.
• Connect compatible devices with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

A visual, adaptable interface

One of Cync’s more distinctive tools lets users work with a photo of a room and adjust the lighting in that view. The home screen can also bring commonly used devices forward, reducing the need to search through every room. These choices make the app easier to tailor to a particular home, especially when many lights or accessories are connected.

Why it stands out

Cync has earned a 4.48 rating from more than 85,000 reviews and has passed 1 million installs. That gives it a substantial user base for a smart-home controller, while its broad device coverage keeps it relevant beyond lighting alone. Developed by Savant Systems, Inc., it is best suited to existing Cync users and households building a connected setup around compatible lights, cameras and plugs.
