Cync integration

Third party integrations
22

Rooms and groups should now work correctly in the most recent update.

@nikshriv thanks for the integration this is great! I just built my HA machine and this integration was key as I have a few Cync smart plugs around the house.

Has anyone used this integration with the Bluetooth Cync bulbs? Does it work with the color changing bulbs as well?

24

I was ready excited to find this as I have quite a few Cync bulbs. Unfortunately, despite all of the bulbs being the wifi variety, when I login it to my Cync account I get an error saying it’s not supported because I don’t have any Cync wifi devices.

I have 4 of the hard wired downlights and 6 of the Edison bulbs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have one Cync Wifi Plug and that got the integration to work for all my bluetooth-only lights. You probably need to purchase a Cync Wifi Plug?

26

I’ve installed the Cync integration from the HACS and all of my devices and groups discovered and there were no issues with login to my Cync account or anything. I have 1 wifi plug and 5 bluetooth bulbs. Despite being able to see everything fine in by entities and dashboard cards, if I try to interact with the devices at all there is no response. Any idea what I’m missing here? I’m new to HA so I have to assume it is user error but I just can’t get it going…

I’m trying to understand Cync. Can the device work locally, or do they require an Internet connection?

The documentation isn’t clear – do they all have Wi-Fi as an option? Do all bulbs support Bluetooth, and what is needed for Bluetooth mesh? Do the Wi-Fi world and BT interconnect?

A URL pointing to the technical information would be helpful. Thanks.

Cync communicates via cloud.

As for bulbs there are two blue tooth and direct connect which is essentially wifi. For the bulbs to work you do need something like a smart plug.

Overall I personally like the system, it works well though the app fails to connect and needs a retry.

Got it installed, seems to happily see the floodlights I got.

Is there an easy way to send the info needed to select a color or temp or brightness? I can meander through the built in light card…but I want to make something more custom for AppDaemon. Normally I can steal hints from the card…but not much info there.

Edit:
Partial solution GitHub - tjntomas/HADashboard-widgets: Widgets for HADashboard / Appdaemon

There is a light control there that does work…does not yet have color temp control…so if you use RGB then the lights always show the RGB…samething happens with the actual CYNC app…You have to select a color temp to put the lights back to a ‘white’ color.

I will attempt to add the color temp part to that widget…but not sure if I can figure it out.

Many Thanks!

my cync integration has recently stopped working…I have removed all plugin data and reinstalled and still errors out when adding the light switches

I cannot get this to work at all. I can save the repository but that does not give me a prompt to install it as an add-on or integration.

33

it wont be an addon, it should show up as integration. i just put the cync_lights folder inside the custom_components folder and included this on the hacs.json

{
“name”: “Cync Lights Custom Integration”,
“domains”: [“light”],
“render_readme”: true
}

I have the same issue, did something change on the Cync side that broke the login pop-up?

35

I’m using the GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulbs connected over WiFi. The hassio integration can control on/off and the warm/cool color temps fine. However, it doesn’t reliably change the bulb color. Especially if I’m controlling the lights from a group or a scene. The bulbs also don’t typically respond well when I use the color picker.

Any way to fix this?

36

Everything works great but im wondering if you can add a option for dimmable LED’s?

37

Just setup the integration and was able to add my two wifi smart plugs without issue, but I don’t seem to be able to control them with HA. Both plugs are currently on but they appear as “off” in HA and don’t respond to turning them on/off via the integrations. Not sure where to go from here as everything ‘appears’ fine.

can this be used with cync bluetooth bulbs?

39

This integration is just great! worked with all my switches and bulbs, and I have different kinds. Except for one that I bought recently, one of those “Dynamic Effects”
I can’t even see it :expressionless:

Am i the only one who keeps having lights turn on at 1%? Does anybody know what to do about that?

I just installed and am attempting to add a Cync device. I am having problems with the login and 2FA process. I have verified user ID and password with the Cync website. Is there something that needs to be cleared in HA or on my system?
