When setting up the device, the app prompts you to connect to the Thread network. This is an “Internet of things” kind of network that enables any Nanoleaf Thread-enabled device to talk to each other without having to run through Bluetooth or a router. This also allows for low power usage and low latency for instant reactions to inputs. The app also prompts you to use Matter, which integrates smart home devices with a compatible hub.
Nanoleaf explains that Matter is a new smart home standard that lets various devices and networks function with each other for seamless integration. If you use Google Home or Alexa to work your home’s various devices, for example, Nanoleaf should be compatible because of Matter. To anyone who doesn’t already use many smart home devices, this can be a bit confusing and possibly of little consequence anyway.

Some of the app’s functions are not the most intuitive but don’t take too long to pick up on. Rooms are grouped with whatever lights or devices you assign to them, allowing you to adjust controls universally for an assigned room or to each device individually. Any light connected to the app can be set using solid colors or from a selection of scenes. They are like little programs that change color at varying intervals, repetition, and speed, many of which are pre-installed, some of which need to be downloaded.
Custom scenes can also be created should you want colors to match the decor or make something original for a particular purpose, such as red, white, and blue for Independence Day. Aside from color control, brightness, and power controls are included. Unlike many smart home products, this setup also has a physical power button, thankfully.
