Would Recommend[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.

Excellent plug
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE CYNC SMART HOME OUTDOOR SMART PLUG is great. It has simplified the connections outside. I have found it very convenient for setup of additional lighting on our deck and I highly recommend. It is sturdy and safe.

Great smart plug for outdoor lighting
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GE SMART HOME OUTDOOR SMART PLUG - It seems we always need something plugged in outdoors. Especially this time of year with holiday lighting and such. This plug is great if you like the ability to control things from an app or your phone. But you need to be somewhat tech savvy. Set up was easy and work great with Google Home. Both outlets can be named differently and integrated with Google home. So far we have not had any issues with ou...

Reliable
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the GE CYNC SMART HOME OUTDOOR SMART PLUG 1PK to try and review. We plugged it in outside the day before a Nor'Easter. It worked perfectly, not once did it go out. The cover protects it very well against weather.

Love it!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Review for GE CYNC SMART HOME OUTDOOR SMART PLUG 1PK. I feel more secure having this outdoor smart plug because if I'm not home I can make sure my lights come on at a certain time and people think that I'm home. It makes me feel safer and I love the fact that it just comes right on. I highly recommend this for someone who wants an easy setup for a nice system that make sure your lights come on or any other Appliance

Makes Life a Little Easier
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up on this GE Cync Outdoor Smart Plug was easy. We downloaded the Cync app to connect, plugged it in and we were ready to go! No problem with extension cords, and there are two outlets on the plug itself. Be aware that if you have a large property you will need to be within range of your wi-fi for this to work properly. We set this up for our Halloween decorations and will use it all through the Christmas season. We like that it syncs ...

So far so good!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The CNYC Outdoor Smart Plug has two plug-in sides that can be operated intermittently. It can be wifi and Bluetooth enabled without a hub. There's two moveable covers, one for each plug-in. You can use Alexa and Google Assistant to use it whenever you want without having to unplug everything. It’s easy to use and very convenient. I haven’t had any crazy bad weather (light rain) or snow yet, so we will see how it holds up with that.

Amazing plug
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smart plug is actually amazing I love the fact that you can use Google with it and you can program it. It took me awhile to figure it out but after I got the hang of it it was so easy and so very convenient because it can be used for so many purposes which I used it for my speakers to plug them in outside so I'm able to sit out on my porch and be able to listen to music at night time when it's nice and calm so this plug is something I defi...

Outdoor Smart Plug
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You have to have a outlet outside already to use this. This plugs into an existing outlet to make it into a smart plug. You control the plug by smart phone app. This plug has 2 covers on each outlet to protect for weather. This hang has to hang downward and has a very short cord for this reason. You can control each outlet individually. Easy to install & connect. Comes with all the directions.

Makes it all easy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cynic is easy to set up. Adds to making your home smarter. Can be used inside or outside. Convenient to operate from home or away. I have a older home I am excited because this device is helping bring my home into the now.

Works great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made product that helps turn your external lighting out outlets to smart plug. It works with Alexa and Google. Though a tad bit on the heavier side makes it better to weather the outside climate. Comes with two outlets and the best part each of them can be controlled individually. Looking to get more of them.

I Didn't Know How Much I'd Love It!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all things tech and I have a special place in my heart for my Amazon Echo that runs it all. It never crossed my mind that I would need a smart plug for outside but now I do and I love it. I use it for my inflatable holiday decor and it is nice to just tell Alexa when to turn it on and off. I'm going to get another one to power the backyard festivities next summer.

Fantastic!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a family who loves decorating for Halloween and Christmas with a bunch of inflatables and lights this is perfect! Finally a smart plug made to be used outside ! I never knew this existed. This was easy to set up and download app following the easy to read instructions. We were up and running in no time. It’s so great to say Alexa turn on Halloween instead of having to go out and plug in. Highly recommend! Will be using for Christmas and look...

very handy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off I want to say how handy this is for outdoor decorations. I have my Halloween lights plugged in and it is great to be able to set when they come on and off. Easy to use and easy to set up with Alexa. Great smart product.

Not bad
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well made and solid construction. Cord length is a bit on the short side and i have yet to figure out how to set a timer for this plug. The app is very dificult to navigate. But the build quality is top notch for sure.

Nice product, thoughtful design
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels like a nice piece of hardware. I like the weather proof covers over the plugs, which feel robust. The buttons on top for manual on/off are also a nice touch. And of course Google home integration is a must, and this checks the box. I also appreciate ability to control each plug separately.

So easy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was excited to get this plug. He set it up almost immediately. He said it was easier than he expected it to be to get it set up. Now we have it set up for lights out in out outdoor seating area and can easily turn lights on with Alexa. Absolutely love having this set up.

Not So Smart
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the GE CYNC Smart Home Plug is innovative and has great potential. I found it extremely difficult to set up, sync to my devices, and ultimately use. I search for answers and did many differ things suggested but to no avail it never worked properly. Very disappointing experience. I also do not like the design of the plug or the very short cord attached.
