SmartThings Use Case:
Add the GE Cync bulbs to your “Movie Night” or “Relax” SmartThings scenes. When you start streaming from your iPhone to your Samsung TV via AirPlay 2, SmartThings can automatically dim your Cync lights, adjust the color temperature, and even sync them with your soundbar and gradient lightstrip for the perfect entertainment experience.For those who want simplicity and native SmartThings performance, Samsung’s own Smart LED Bulbs offer responsive color changes, dimming, and automation.
