Controlling other devices in Google Home using GE Cync wireless smart switch

Hello

Long story short, I am trying to integrate a GE wireless smart switch into my Google Home system to control two GE Cync smart bulbs and a smart light strip controlled through Tuya, the two being linked in Google Home. I purchased a GE Cync wireless smart switch to control the three lights without having to install a wired smart switch, which is not compatible with my home due to its lack of a ground or neutral wire. I later learned that, unlike GE Cync's wired smart switches, the wireless smart switch links to devices through the GE Cync app and not through Google Home. Therefore, the light switch only controls the GE Cync bulbs and not the Light strip. This leaves me with a couple questions.

 

- Is it possible to create an automation that turns the light strip on and off when the smart bulbs are activated?

- Are there any other wireless smart switches on the market that link directly to Google Home?

As long as you can see both the GE Cync bulbs and the light strip in the home app you should be able to do this with a routine but there may be a slight delay turning off the light strip off and on . I'm not sure but if you are creating the routine in the Home app, you might need to create two routines, one for on and one for off. If you are using the script editor at home.google.com, you should be able to do both within the same routine.
