This complex switch offers integrated color and scene switching, but only owners of GE Cync smart bulbs and light fixtures will appreciate its full value. The busy collection of buttons on this otherwise fine smart dimmer can control lighting scenes and colors without depending on the app on your smartphone, but those advanced features only work with other GE Lighting Cync products. Give me an in-wall smart switch but make it really complicated, said no one ever. Well never mind that, because the GE Cync Keypad Dimmer Smart Switch is every bit as complicated as its mouthful of a name.

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 (from a warm candlelight-like 2,000 Kelvin to an energizingly cool 7,000K). You'll want to install the Cync Clear Full Direct Connect in a clear luminaire that will show off its spiral LED filament. 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.
