About this app

Design, set up, manage, and control your Nanoleaf lights all in one place. From the virtual Layout Assistant, to one-touch RGB presets, to full in-depth customization like you’ve never seen before, prepare for a lighting experience that is Smarter by Design.

Simple Control
Use the App to scan your lights’ pairing code and get set up in seconds, then enjoy your smart light-switch. Remotely turn your lights on and off, adjust brightness (trust us they go BRIGHT), and select your color Scenes from anywhere within your home. Group your lights together for joint control with Group Scenes (because we love a team player), or segment by room to keep your lights as organized as you wish your life could be.

Complete Customization
Create custom dynamic Scenes by selecting palettes and colors with the intuitive color wheel, adjusting ratios, and choosing animated motions. Try vibrant RGB hues to set a total vibe, or put the “fun” in functional lighting with the whole range of white color temperatures.

Advanced Automations
Set Schedules to automate your daily lighting needs, from gentle morning light-alarms, to gradually dimming nightly reminders that Holy **** it’s 2AM again, you need to wake up in 4 hours, PLEASE go to sleep.

Now You’re Talking
Connect your lights with your smart home assistant (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings) and use voice commands to control them hands-free. Just say “Ok Google, turn on my “TGIF” Scene” and instantly enter full relaxation-mode at the end of a long week. The best part of all, you don’t even have to say “Please”... but it’d still be nice if you did though :)

Join the Community
Explore the App’s “Discover” tab for a huge collection of incredible Scenes created by users like you. Well, like you, just more creative. But if you too are the creative type, share your own Scenes and show the community what you’ve got! There are endless Scenes to discover for every mood and occasion, all the way from “Ho Ho Holidays” to “Netflix and Chill”.

Ratings and reviews

I cannot for the life of me figure out why nanoleaf can't get the controllers right. I have 3 sets of shapes: 1 hexes and 2 triangles. in the 4 years I've had them, I've replaced the controllers 4 times and yet 2 of them are broke again. As in, complete failure. The one remaining one I have loses communication after a couple of days every time I re-set it up. The ones I replaced had the same issue. Constant communication failures, perpetual unlinking with Google Home... by far the worst

Your phone must be on the same WiFi network as the lights or it will not connect. Also, any VPN needs to be disabled for it to connect. The app now detects when a VPN is engaged. I have multiple access points, so I have to follow a multi-step protocol each time in order to connect. That needs improvement. Recently I had an issue with the functionality. Nanoleaf Support kindly reached out and helped me get the string lights functioning properly I am happy to report.

When I first bought the app 2 months ago I could download themes for my tv lights, but now since the update I can no longer download a single theme outside of the ones I previously downloaded. The app is very picky when having it run in the background, as well, as it will stop working completely so you have close the app just to turn the lights off if you, say, went to another app for any reason. I feel like I've been cheated out of my money. Plus to use all features you have to have a PC.
