From PC World: Vintage-style LED smart bulbs have been a thing for a while, but I haven’t seen one quite like this new one from Savant’s GE Lighting division.
The all-new Cync Clear Full Color Direct Connect A19 Smart Bulb—now there’s a mouthful—features a spiral LED filament in a clear glass globe. The Edison-style smart bulb can be programmed to glow from a palette of millions of colors as well as a variety of white color temperatures.
The new bulb connects directly to your Wi-Fi network, and it supports Matter, rendering it compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings. But as with several other smart lighting products we’ve tested lately, setting it up using anything other than the Cync app will limit the features that are exposed.
Set up the bulb using the Cync app, for example, and you’ll unlock its entire feature set. You can control the bulb with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, set schedules and operate the bulb while you’re away from home, change the color (and the color temperature of white light), activate preset light shows, and personalize the Cync app.
