I have reset my Essentials A19 Bulb multiple times and my bulb still is not recognized by App or HomeKit. I have as instructed reached out to support and have not received any assistance beyond instructions to reset the bulb. I requested that they send me a new bulb to exchange for the defective unit and they never reply. I have 10 other Essentials that work fine now I think I should return all of my Nanoleaf bulbs.

I bought 4 of theses after checking (more than once) directly with Nanoleaf that they would work in conjunction with my light panels, canvas and shapes. I clarified that I meant they would work with rhythm scenes and told yes. They don’t, I felt a bit conned as when I queried this I was told they will eventually in an update. That’s a bit cheeky.

Im enjoining the new Essentials Bulb. Easy to setup and works great with my Apple Home Pod using thread technology. I just ordered two more bulbs to add to my home.

I bought 2 when they came out and I LOVE them, Just Bought 6 more. Use with IOS.

For anyone looking to buy these to use with their Echo/Alexa devices; These bulbs and strips are NOT compatible with Alexa without a Mesh boarder router. Currently the only 2 devices that can act as a boarder router are the Apple TV 4K 2021 and onwards and the Apple Homepod. I learned this the hard way because Nanoleaf is so shady with their advertising and being honest with what devices they actually support. If you read the fine print on the Nanoleaf Alexa skill, it clearly states it's ONLY compatible with shapes, canvas etc. This means all the lighting in my house including my canvas, is controlled my Alexa while my 2 essentials bulbs in my bedroom can only be controlled through Siri/Homekit on my Macbook and iPhone. Nanoleaf should be more clear with what devices they can support as they themselves don't directly state what devices their products support and have been claiming they'll enable support for Alexa on their essentials line for a couple years now. These bulbs and strips primarily use Bluetooth even though they are thread enabled and should connect to my Echo devices just as easily as they can connect to my Macbook and iPhone.

I have the strips and the bulb, they both work great. I completly recommend

I have 7 of these working perfectly on iPhone Bluetooth using the Nanoleaf app. Response is fast and we love them.
HomeKit and Thread don’t work however, I have given up trying to figure that out. But the app and Bluetooth works great.

Been wanting to get a couple along with the light strip but there are none to be had. When will they be available?

[damonchan]

I try to follow the steps to reset to factory setting however I fail . Try to send email and no reply for more than 3 days . Poor customer experience

Hi: Can I use Nanoleaf app outside of my home? I would like to control the light bulbs while I am away. Thank you very much.

[MarkandSandieInMotion]

So, to make sure before I buy, this bulb will screw into any light socket in my home?

[pathchange]

Can you use the Nanoleaf App on PC to connect these? If so how?

[betoespinoza]

When is the sensor switch coming out that you guys mentioned in the 2020 live event?

[HemOglobine]

After many try, Impossible to reset the bulb > can’t use it with my iPhone !

I am doing a small testrun to find out, which lighting system I might pick to equip my complete home with, so I started with simple bulbs from different manufacturers to see, how comfortable the installation process and daily-basis use feel.
For nanoleaf I picked two A19 Essential bulbs.
First setting up via smartphone app was really smooth. But that's already it. It becomes unreachable shortly after the first connection. Getting the bulb to Factory-Reset (red flashing) works at least 50% of the times and I can reconnect after that. For another 5min of usage. The usage of Nanoleaf app regularly kills the phones WiFi connection aswell.

I am not really convinced that I would be smart to fit more complex elements into my system, if the entry-level communication between an rather basic bulb and the own app already performs on this disappointing level :(

RGB brightness is lackluster, white quality is pretty fine though and the packaging is nice.

Will regularly check for information on updates and PlayStore reviews, but I remain sceptical.
with best regards

[Cocker_Spaniel]

Wait they don't work over wifi? Meaning I need to be at home to control the light?

[fleeece]

Are u guys working on a compatibiliity with alexa??

[murmeldin]

I bought the A60 with the intent of using it with the Home Assistant SkyConnect USB Stick. But they don't work with it at all, I have tried to connect them several times with different Methods. It would be REALLY great if you would fix the threads pairing mode on Android and iOS to actually work with thread networks and if you would support Home Assistant and the OpenThread Border Router. That would make your product so much better for a huge number of people!

Is the nanoleaf a19 bulb compatible with a standard dimmer switch setup?

[flawless]

My nanoleaf bulb doesn’t turn on at all when I switch on I don’t know what the issue is I tried plugging in regular bulbs they worked fine but when I plug the nanoleaf it doesn’t turn on at all
