However, provided you have a strong connection throughout your space, this shouldn’t be an issue.
The Cync lights are quick and easy to set up.
The lights should automatically enter their pairing mode and be found in the refreshed Cync app.
Once the lights are connected you might control them individually or as part of their groups.
it’s possible for you to create additional subgroups for further organization.
I can easily group the ceiling lights together, and do the same for each lamp.
Furthermore, each light has its own name (Ex.
Studio Ceiling Light 1), which allows you to still control specific fixtures if needed.
you could set each light to a specific brightness, color, and mode.
Within a few seconds, you might get some really creative looks.
Smart Integration
Cync can be connected to Google, Alexa, and Siri / Apple HomeKit.
As such, for advanced customization, you’ll still need to use the Cync app.
As such, these groups need to be recreated within Alexa if you want to control them as such.
Voice commands haven’t been as reliable for me, but that could have been Alexa’s fault.
Sometimes only a few of the grouped lights would be changed, and other times nothing would.
My house came with recessed 6" LED lighting installed in most of the rooms.
I began by swapping the four in my living room out for theCync 6" Wafer Smart LED Downlight.
Installing these rings is as simple as placing them against the top of your ceiling before the lights.
I actually preferred the look with these installed as it made the lights look even more premium.
Kitchen
Having good lights in my kitchen was crucial.
Studio
Most important to this entire upgrade is my studio’s lighting.
I previously was using a mix of different smart bulb brands for my various lamps and outlets.
It was confusing keeping track of which app controlled each light.
There is a rubber weatherproof cover for each plug.
The back of the case of the plug has a hole for wall mounting if needed.
Does Cync Have Any Compromises?
While fairly niche, these could make it worth the significant cost over Cync for some users.
Supported games allow your lights to react in real-time to your in-game experiences.
Similarly, you might also connect Philips Hue lights to Corsair iCUE.
This can be programmed with your PC hardware to alert you when the temperatures are running high.
With Spotify, Philips Hue generates light scripts to reflect the beat of the music.
