If you are setting up your C by GE lights directly to the Google Home app (not using the C by GE app) follow these Seamless Set Up instructions.
If you are setting up your C by GE lights with the C by GE app and linking to the Google Home app, follow these instructions:
First, connect your C by GE devices to the C by GE app. Once you’ve connected your C by GE smart plug to the C by GE app, you are ready to enable Google control. Our smart plug is a Wi-Fi device that can enable Google as a hub.
If you are new to C by GE and Google Home:
- Download the Google Home app
- Tap the Add (+ icon)
- Select “Set up device”
- Select “Works with Google – Have something already set up?”
- Type “C by GE” in the search bar and select “C by GE”
- Enter your C by GE account login information. This will link your C by GE and Google Home account.
- Google Home will identify and display the C by GE devices you have connected to your C by GE app. If you have more than one, you will set up each device one at a time. Select the first and follow the steps in-app. Continue until all C by GE devices are setup.
