Nanoleaf Essentials Smart Light Bulbs, Matter Smart LED Bulbs Work with Alexa & Google Home, 1000lm 16M+ RGBTW Color Changing Light Bulb, Music Sync A19 E26 2.4GHz WiFi Bluetooth Light Bulb 60W, 4PK

I bought four packs of these so far. In the last several months I have taken my fully built up HomeKit full of VOCOLINC devices including about 20 bulbs, and switched them all to zigbee Sengled.I then switched them all to these bulbs because Sengled zigbee has terrible performance colors and brightness when used in the home app.Honestly. These are great. They are very responsive and have good color and I’m pretty happy with the brightness as well.Everyone complaining about these…. I feel like the issue is most likely with their network and HomeKit configs. Conflicting items. Or poor network setup.I will admit I am a systems engineer so my home network is very much optimized like an enterprise network is. But that only means that my network is operating as intended.So I can gladly testify that if your network is fully optimized and you have no conflicts (the average person would have no idea) then these are great devices!Excited for matter later this year!They can shove those stupid angle things though. Never happening at that cost lol

Update:I upgraded my home WiFi and that seems to have solved the problem. Everything works great.Original review:I bought 9 bulbs and added each to HomeKit; however, as soon as I did all the bulbs were unreachable and could not be controlled with the app. The bulbs would only respond to turning the physical light switch on or off.I tried resetting several times and the lights remained unreachable each time.I paired the bulbs with an Android tablet and connected over Bluetooth and I was able to control the lights and update the firmware. Even with the latest firmware the bulbs will not connect to Apple devices or HomeKit.The only reason I bought these bulbs was to use them with HomeKit. So since that’s not working there’s no point to using these over regular cheap bulbs.

My current smart home is setup with HomeKit. I got these because of the popularity and how inexpensive it is. I purchased a total of 3.Here’s my personal pros and cons:Pros:Super Easy to add to the Home app (I added to the Home app before I downloaded the Nanoleaf app)Updating Firmware is super quickSwitched to Thread within minutes (probably faster)Cons:Nanoleaf app is a little confusingBrightness is okay - I’ve played around with the preset scenes and the colors definitely do look a little washed like what everyone says on their reviews. (I’ve got these strictly for pure white and amber for night time viewing to ease the eyes)Weird default color. When it defaults to white, instead of being white. It has a pinkish/red tint to the bulb. Not sure why that is, but I do have to manually change it. (A little annoying)When deleting “duplicates” it’ll delete the bulbs from the Home app as well. Had to add them back to the Home App. (Minor hassle)Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and how easy it is to use. And the price point is just great!

Pros:- Rich color options with 16M+ RGBW colors- Simple HomeKit setup- More affordable compared to other smart bulbs on the marketCons:- Requires constant power to the lamp- Response time can be slowInsights:The Nanoleaf Smart LED A19 is a versatile smart bulb that shines with its vibrant colors and easy integration with Apple HomeKit. However, its design only draws power from the lamp it is installed in. So, like all electronics, continuous power is crucial for maintaining its connection to HomeKit. If the lamp's power is turned off, then you will lose connectivity and all home automation integration. You must use the Apple Home app, Siri, or another compatible home automation platform to control the on/off function of the bulb. It's also worth noting that you may experience slower than expected response times when using this bulb with Apple HomeKit. On the positive side, it is considerably less expensive than other smart bulbs on the market. Overall the Nanoleaf Smart LED A19 is a solid choice for enhancing your smart home lighting.
