Cync GE Smart LED Strip Light, Color Changing Room Decor LED Light Strip, Works with Alexa and Google Home, Matter Compatible, LED Lights for Bedroom, Millions of Colors and White Tones, 16 Feet

I give the cync GE LED strip 5 stars for the following reasons Connectivity: They can connect through matter, meaning whether you have apple homekit, Google home, Alexa home, or home assistant, these lights can easily connect. I have zero issues connecting these through matter which is not something you usually see at this price Color: The color on these led lights are by far the best part; the whites, reds, yellows and greens are all extremely vibrant and not something you will usually see at this price point Even though they lack RGBW (a technology that allows led lights to achieve true whites) the white looks very accurate and is much better than most that don't have RGBW brightness: The brightness met my expectations - they did not exceed it. The simplest way I can put it is that its just "okay". It didn't blow me away but certainly did not disappoint me. Build: The package comes with a dedicated power box that you can attach to anywhere. The package also gives you ways to connect the box through adhesive or screws. Its all included This power bank means the led lights have a much more consistent Connectivity, and, more importantly, a longer cord than you can attach directly to it. This allows you to have the outlet far away from the actual led lights which eliminates the tackiness of having the exposed led lights right beside an outlet Overall these are great led lights especially for the price. I would recommend!

$14 for 16’ light strip that works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), you can’t beat this deal. Lights are as vibrant as any other affordable strip I’ve ever used. The adhesive backing is strong and allowed me to securely fastened to the back side of my desk. As long as you have an Apple hub that supports Matter, you’ll have no problem setting this up. In my case, I have a Home Pod with the latest firmware. Setup took about 25 seconds. It fully integrates with HomeKit and so far, works perfectly. Works really well as an ambient light. Under the bed, behind desk, above kitchen cabinets, you get the idea. You’ll need about 5 inches from any lit surface to avoid seeing the individual LED’s. That distance allows the light to diffuse properly and give a nice ambient glow.

These are really cool. I’m not going to lie. I got them for my son’s room and you can change all the colors in different settings on your phone and they stick really well to the wall and they’re not too bright but bright enough for the color super easy to connect.

I bought two sets of these lights to add to the back of my bar cabinet and they look amazing. The app is easy to use and I love the ability to set custom light configurations based on my own preferences. I have a Cync light bulb and so I appreciate the ability to control everything together. Installing the light strips was easy except my cabinet required a bit of modification to get the strips through the middle, but once we did that they stuck exactly where we wanted them and have stayed in place with no problems. The colors are vibrant and look stunning, people compliment on them when they come into the house and I have them on. I will say that the system does do one odd thing - when the power goes out and comes back on the lights come on automatically. It’s strange because the other light that has the Cync bulb doesn’t do that. It’s not really that big of a deal but something to note.

Let me preface this by saying that I still really like these lights. I just built a custom record cabinet and included two of these strips directly into the build. I linked them to my Apple Homekit smarthome with an Aqara smart button to run different scenes. When they work, they work great. But, occasionally, one or both will just become non-responsive. A quick reset (using a smart plug, so I don't have to move the cabinet to access the outlet every time) and they're back online for a few days, before one of them glitches again. I intend to set up an automation that just resets them every single morning, but I've been lazy about it. Not certain if anyone else is having the same issue, but it's happening to BOTH of mine, intermittently. If that's something you can live with, you can't beat these for the price, if you want Matter control. I'm kinda stuck with them for now because they're built in, so I'm just gonna keep making it work. Not 100% happy with them, but like I said, when they WORK...they look great.

I have multiple Cync items in my house. I have several plugs that I had lights plugged into, I have four of their color changing standard light bulbs. I have one of their reflector bulbs. Plus three wall switches. These are all controlled by the app on my phone with multiple schedules depending on what I wish to control. Some I simply control by using google, others will come on at Sunset and go off at sunrise and others come on at Sunset and go off at midnight. I have used two different brands of computer control lighting controllers and they were all donated to Goodwill because they are basically junk. This brand is the best easy to connect if you have any problem they're 800 number will connect you to a very friendly and helpful technician. I've recommend this brand to other friends and none of them have quit speaking to me yet! Which means they're pleased with my recommendation

October 26 Updated my review, I've had nothing but ongoing problems with these lights (2 sets). They constantly disconnect from the app, and I have to reset them more than a dozen times in 10 months. Since the last app update, it has become even more frustrating, as it takes multiple attempts to get the lights to reconnect. I go through the process only to encounter an error at the end. The lights don't show up in the app, but when I turn off the group, they still turn off, even though they aren't listed on the app, its like they half worked but don't show up in the app. Tonight, after fighting with them for an hour, I ripped them out and threw them away. I would not recommend this product at all just too buggy! January 2025 I recently purchased these lights to replace some old Philips Hue light strips that were installed on top of my kitchen cabinets. I already own several other Cync lights, which I generally like. However, I was slightly disappointed with these. Most Cync products are comparable to Philips items, such as under-counter lights and bulbs, but these are not. The emitters are spaced too far apart and are not very bright. I will keep them since they are already installed, but I would choose something different if I ever need to replace them. They just aren't bright enough for accent lighting on top of kitchen cabinets. Additionally, the app is quite buggy. After adding 15 or 16 Cync devices, the app has become very slow and frequently lags after I launch it. When I turn on a light, there can be a delay of up to three to four seconds before the app becomes responsive again. Sometimes, when I switch off a light, the app will lag and remain unresponsive, and the switch will still appear on in the app. Another issue I've had while installing the lights is that the app shows an error when updating the firmware on every light—not just these. I believe the firmware is updating, as the app keeps spinning and eventually times out. If I attempt to update it again, I receive an error. I can skip the update after an error occurs, but the light remains unresponsive for several minutes after installation. Overall, I find the app to be very buggy. I’m transitioning my house to Home Assistant, so this should not be an issue moving forward.

Everything I could expect for the price. This is an excellent choice for above-cabinet lighting that you can control the brightness and color. I love that my Alexis will turn them on and off. Super easy to set up and install.

El producto está OK pero la app no está disponible en México, únicamente se puede controlar mediante la app de casa en iPhone pero considero injusto que vendan un producto y la aplicación no está habilitada en la región donde comercializan
