More Information
There is no verified Homebridge plugin for GE Cync. There is an older unverified plugin (homebridge-cync-lights), but:
- It supports a limited subset of Cync bulbs using local communication.
- It does not implement cloud login, account-level device discovery, or the LAN mesh/bridge protocol.
- It does not conflict with or duplicate the scope of this plugin.
This plugin integrates:
- Cync cloud account authentication
- 2FA email code request + verification
- Retrieval of home/mesh/device topology
- LAN bridge login + TCP control channel
- Real-time device state updates
I intend for this plugin to cover all accessories Cync can store that are compatible with Home.app.
