Title: Almost perfect!
Review: This bulb is great and works well in my night stand lamp. It syncs well with homekit, but you do need to install the NanoLeaf app to get the bulb upgraded to the latest firmware. I also have this bulbs colour temperature adjust relative to the time of day through the nanoleaf app, but then once set up in the app you can forget about it and just use your homekit automations as they are and it will just work.

Title: Awful reliability
Review: I bought 8 of these initially for my downstairs. Setup with HomeKit was relatively easy, and once I had them all working I felt quite content. Occasionally I saw the connectivity would drop out, so updated all the bulbs to the latest software and ensured I did the same with my phone and HomePod minis.After a day or so, I noticed the bulbs would constantly go offline or take 20+ seconds to respond to a command. Using the Nanoleaf app, I could see that the bulbs were connecting to thread, disconnecting, switching to Bluetooth over and over. It wasn’t an issue with where the border router was placed as it was in the same room, and the bulbs were no greater than 1.5 meters apart (with most in one room and hallway being less than a meter away).I then added bulbs to my upstairs, and that’s where it all fell apart completely. My house is not large, and thread is designed to ensure that the network stays permanently connected even if one device goes offline. This did not happen. When one bulb went offline, all of them did – and it took either removing and completely factory resetting then to get everything working again. Once everything was working, after 20 minutes it would all happen again.I also use thread/matter devices from Eve and Aqara, placed at extreme ends of my house. These devices work perfectly and have never once lost connection. They respond instantly.This has demonstrated these these Nanoleaf bulbs are simply not fit for use. I’d understand it more if it was one faulty bulb, but I bought 14 of these and every single of them does it.If you are thinking of buying these, I beg you to reconsider. I’ve returned all of them, and will never buy from Nanoleaf again. Don’t let the more premium price tag fall you – these are simply awful products and you will have a nightmare using them.Instead I’ve begun using Wi-Fi bulbs from Meross, which respond instantly and have never once gone offline.Avoid these like the plague.

Title: Great bulbs. NOT for HomeKit.
Review: Firstly, if you are seeing this review and you have a HomeKit setup, these are NOT the bulbs for you.You want Nanoleaf Essentials B22 LED… https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09WRPBMJG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareIf, like me, you DON’T use HomeKit and you want some Thread enabled bulbs to go with an existing Thread Border Router (required if you don’t just want to use Bluetooth), these bulbs are great.They are quick to respond, brightness and colours are also excellent.Very easy to set up.I followed the steps from another reviewer in which I connected them to the NanoLeaf app, downloaded a critical firmware update and then unpaired them from the app.I then performed the pairing process (with my Aeotec Smart Home Hub I pressed “Search Nearby” within Smartthings) and they came straight up.

Title: Apple compatible
Review: We chose these as they are compatible with Apple HomePod, but this one is a replacement for abulb we bought about a year ago, that stopped following the scheduling we set up. We had similar issues with another bulb, so my comment is that these don’t last so long if you want them to run on a programme.They have a good colour range and are better than most for set up

Title: Not as advertised – doesn’t support HomeKit adaptive lighting
Review: The non-matter version of this product supports adaptive lighting within Apple home. It’s an awesome feature that changes the colour temp of the bulbs with the day/sun.This matter version does not support that feature within Apple home – even though it states it on the Apple website!! – confirmed by Nanoleaf support today.The cheaper, older models without matter support do support it.It is worth mentioning that you can do this feature within the nano leaf app – but the colours are wildly different and I couldn’t get it to sync with my other adaptive bulbs. Will be sending this one back and replacing with the cheaper, more feature rich bulbs.(Threads is good for 20 ish devices so as long as you’re all apple home + threads + HomePods/tvs you’ll be better off with the older gen!)

Title: Completely unreliable with HomeKit
Review: I regret buying these and would not buy these again. I’ve had issue with all 3 bulbs. One has just stopped connecting to my thread network. They all fail to properly when triggering them with a HomeKit scene. The brightness and colour is completely off. I wish I’d just paid the money for Hue. I’ve never had a problem with Hue bulbs in all the years I’ve used them.

Title: ‘Disabled’ matter-enabled bulb
Review: These are good quality lights which no doubt ‘do what they say’ BUT they require a lot of technical know-how to install to work properly which I have not managed to do ….yet…… even with the help from a PhD computer science researcher. Not convinced they’re ready for marketing to the general public.
