During CES 2023, GE’s Cync smart light line grew quite a bit with several newly available options and new updates on Matter support. <\/p>\n

\n

The headlining news from Cync this year includes new rope lights that can be transformed into any shape you’d like, hexagon-shaped wall panels similar to Nanoleaf, and A19 and BR30 smart bulbs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These are all part of Cyncs new Dynamic Effects<\/a> lineup that are capable of tuning to 16 million colors, various shades of white, and can emulate various lighting effects. They have on-device music syncing and can show multiple colors at once. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even the A19 and BR30 smart bulbs can show multiple colors with each able to show up to four at once and are indecently addressable via the Cync app. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are new Wafer Downlights coming in Q3 of this year and the Cync app adds direct integration with Schlage Encode smart locks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Most of the new Dynamic Effects products are launching in March and prices start at $19.99 for the A19 and top out at $199.99 for a 10-pack of the hexagonal wall panels. The rope lights run $79.99 and $119.99 for the 10-inch and 16-inch models respectively. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Support for Matter<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Cync’s products work primarily over Bluetooth mesh, making them incompatible with Matter as it is IP-based. Some products will be compatible though. The company’s affordable A19 Cync Full Color Direct Connect Smart Bulb and its smart plug will both get updates to work with Matter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

None of the company’s products work natively with Apple Home and rely on the company’s native app instead. Matter support will bring the products into Apple’s Home app. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Other products \u2014 including the new rope lights and light panels \u2014 will not be getting updated to Matter but Cync says other new Matter-ready products will debut later this year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
