Can’t connect. Apple Home sees it and says it’s connected but can not even tell it’s on. Nanoleaf App can’t see it. It should just work in Apple Home without having to open the ugly and terrible Nanoleaf App. I curse their name every time (frequently) I have to open the app to “upgrade the software” on my Essential Bulbs — and then move from room to room while it attempts to connect. After buying Naoleaf products I had to turn all of my automations off because they would trigger multiple times over about ten minutes — awful when you actually want the lights up or off that day. The smart home is super frustrating and I would never buy any products as gifts. Matter has made everything even worse.

I bought these in January at a heavy discount ($45 for the product) and finally got a chance to use them this holiday season. Despite being bogged down by an app that takes forever to respond, these are actually really great string lights. At 100% brightness they're arguably too bright for indoor use and might be better suited for outdoor decoration, but we've been keeping these set at a comfortable 40% brightness on our Christmas tree. The lights are split into two separate strings, which can be a little tricky when putting them on a tree, but if you start them roughly 1/3 to 2/5 up from the bottom of the tree, you should have about the same amount of string for both ends. Just make sure you wrap one part clockwise around the tree and the other part counterclockwise if you intend to use some of the animated color scenes in the app. With the two strings combined, this is more than enough for our meager 6' artificial tree - we ended up weaving the strings in and out from the surface of the branches to the inner stand and back again repeatedly to make use of the full length. These string lights should be sufficient for an 8' tree, and potentially even a 10' tree. At full price, these string lights might not be worth it unless you've got money to burn, but if you can grab them on sale I'd say these are worth the investment.
