GE unveils a range of smart home products including new Matter-compatible Cync smart switches, Cync Dynamic Effects lighting, and Proseo smart shades. The Cync switches offer a more streamlined design and enhanced functionality for three-way circuits.
GE unveiled several new smart home products at CES on Monday, including new Matter -compatible Cync smart switches, non- Matter Cync lighting, and upscale smart shades. All of this will be rolling out over the next few months, starting with the new smart switches in March. GE’s new Cync switches — the Smart Keypad Dimmer ($44.99) and Smart Paddle Dimmer ($25.99) — won’t use the usual quirky Cync design.

The company also announced café lights and outdoor strip lights for its “Cync Dynamic Effects” category of lights that offer 16 million colors, tunable white light, music syncing, and addressable LEDs. The company says the café lights will have reinforced eye holes for hanging and come in 24-foot ($39.99) and 48-foot ($69.99) versions starting in March. The strip lights are coming in April and measure 16 feet ($79.99) or 32 feet ($129.99). They’ll lack Matter support and will only work with Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
