Control your C by GE smart lights with your voice using an Alexa Voice Assistant.

Direct Connect Lights

Because our Direct Connect Lights have Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth, you do not need an additional device to enable this smart feature. If you are unsure if you have Direct Connect lights, look for “Direct Connect” on packaging or the physical light. Next, follow the Alexa Set Up instructions below.

Bluetooth Lights

If you purchased C by GE lights that do not have “Direct Connect” on the packaging or physical light bulb, you will need a C by GE Wi-Fi device to enable this feature because these smart lights are connected to the C by GE app through Bluetooth.

Our Wi-Fi devices include the Smart Plug, Direct Connect Lights, Smart Switch or C-Reach Smart Bridge. One of these devices will need to be to be connected to the C by GE app and paired in the same app Location as your lights. Next, follow the Alexa Set Up instructions below.

Alexa Set Up Instructions:

First, connect your C by GE devices to the C by GE app.

Important: Make sure you are naming your C by GE light something that can be easily said in a voice command. For example, name the smart light in your living room lamp, “Living Room Lamp” instead of an abbreviation like “LR Lamp."
