Cync is synchronized with matter
GE Lighting will add Matter compatibility to its product line throughout 2023. Following its participation in CSA's Matter Working Group, the Cync Full Color Direct Connect smart bulb and Cync Indoor smart plug will be the first products to transition to Matter-compatible versions, with more products to be updated shortly thereafter.
These Matter-compatible products will replace previous versions when they hit stores. Previously produced Cync products are not expected to receive retroactive updates from Matter at this time.
Insured with Schlage
To continue building on the success of the Cync app, powered by Savant and provide consumers with more complete home smart home security solutions in 2023, GE Lighting announced a new integration with Schlage, an Allegion brand and provider of home security and access solutions.
The solution will provide users with an easy-to-install and control experience that provides greater security and protection at home. An integration, made possible through the award-winning Cync app, powered by Savant, will connect the growing Cync smart lighting product portfolio with Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt and Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt to set up automations that lock the lock. Activity to lighting actions.
