Thunderstorm for Nanoleaf

Scott Dodson

About this app

Summon a thunderstorm light show using your Nanoleaf devices. Watch your devices pulse and flash to the sounds of a storm.

THUNDERSTORMS

• Strong Thunderstorm — Heavy rain with frequent lightning and thunder nearby

Devices pulse quickly to the sound of heavy rain. Booming sounds of thunder accompany bright flashes of light.

• Normal Thunderstorm — Steady rain with a full range of lightning and thunder

Devices pulse to the sound of rain. The sound of thunder can be heard from various distances. The closer the lightning, the louder the sound, and the brighter the flashes of light!

• Weak Thunderstorm — Light rain with occasional lightning and thunder far off

Devices pulse slowly to the sound of light rain. Dim flashes of light are followed by soft sounds of thunder.

• Passing Thunderstorms — Rain and lightning intensity changes as the storms pass

Devices pulse and flash at different rates to correspond with the current strength of the storm.

Ratings and reviews

This is a really cool app for the Aurora panels. It has a bunch of different setting you can adjust so you can get it set just how you want it. If you're into lighting with Nanoleaf panels ( Aurora ) then this app is a must have!

Was not able to get it to connect at first. Power cycled the panels a few times and works great.

Works fine and the effects are fun. Only negative is the steep price for only one effect. All in all a good add on for the Nanoleaf - best lighting product since the hue. Great app.
