The array of Nanoleaf smart lights is distributed in two rows of the same length (10 m) with the same number of LEDs (125), which makes it easy to install them on the Christmas tree or on any other element that we want to decorate ( Stair railing, for example). 2.4 meter cable to first LED bulb So we have enough space to get power from the socket to where we want it. There is a controller with physical buttons to control the lights manually. Although what we will do in 99% of cases is use our Nanoleaf application or the voice assistant we use at home to control those lights. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use with IP44 certification. And with compatibility with dWiFi or Matter connections, we don’t have to worry about distance to our accessory center.

To install, we just plug in the power and spread it over the area we want. This is something that doesn’t take long. Then we will have to take our smartphone and go through the Nanoleaf application. Continue with configuration. It’s very simple thanks to the fact that all we have to do is scan a QR code. It’s in the user manual and in the light controls. From that step We only have to follow the steps specified by the Nanoleaf application in an intuitive and clear way. One of those steps is to grant access to our WiFi network and add it to our Matter network. For the latter, We need the necessary infrastructure. This ranges from a HomeKit-compatible accessory center (HomePod 2nd Gen or HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K) to other accessories. That acts as a Matter router, for example, and lots of power from Nanoleaf itself.

Once that’s done, we can download the scenes we want from the Nanoleaf app. Using a native application is important in this type of lighting device. Because it is the only device that will help us get the most out of our accessories. We can use fixed scenes with one color or multiple colors. or dynamic scenes that move in a predetermined manner. or even according to the rhythm of the music being played (The controller is the person responsible for “listening” and creating the beat.) In the Nanoleaf app, we have countless designs available for download with various themes.Many of the items are during Christmas. And it’s all free. Unless someone convinces us something is unlikely. We can create it ourselves. We also have playlists with different scenes. to alternate according to time To use them in our fire We will have to download them. But we can always preview them to check first how they will look in our design.

The application allows us to control turning it on and off. Create a timer and control the rest of the brand’s lights. And if we want other brands we add them to our home automation network. We can also export some scenes as You can also move the “Environment” to the Home app. To be able to control these things This is a smart solution from Nanoleaf that solves some of the main limitations that Home applications have with decorative lights. Personally, I like to use the Nanoleaf app to change scenes. and exit the Home application to automate the work. But that’s my personal preference and it’s just a suggestion I made to you.

Because the Home application allows us to do very little. Whether it’s turning on and off, adjusting brightness, and changing colors, but at the international level There is nothing about creating a multi-colored scene. Even the scenes are much less moving. Casa’s one strong point is its automation. Where we can combine our decorative lights with the rest of the lights in the house. So that all the lights can be turned on and off at the same time. Thanks to HomeKit compatibility, we can use Siri to control the lights. But again there are Home’s limitations.

The lights have more than enough color and brightness to provide a lively and colorful decoration. Perfect for the Christmas holidays or any other occasion if you want something a little more sober. You can always choose warmer tones and reduce brightness. Therefore, it is suitable for every taste. Response to controls via the Nanoleaf app is fast, one of Matter’s advantages over other protocols such as Bluetooth, and the connection is very stable even over long distances as long as you have other Matter accessories capable of doing the job. It can be a bridge to connection. automatic center I haven’t had any issues with disconnection or unresponsive lights since I installed it last week. So I am very satisfied with it. And the best thing is that many designs we have already created and are ready to download from your application.

Editor’s opinion

New Nanoleaf lights designed for Christmas parties But it can really be used for any occasion where we want to create a special atmosphere. With easy control and fast response, these lights are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, their high brightness and the length and number of LEDs are more than enough to decorate a large area or a medium-sized Christmas tree. (Anything that can enter the room), so it is more than a recommended purchase. You can buy it at Nanoleaf for 99 euros. (link)
