Customers are enthusiastic about the brightness, ease of use, and HomeKit compatibility of the Essentials Smart LED Lightstrip. Many appreciate the simple setup and high-quality construction, along with the wide array of colors and responsive app. However, some users experienced connectivity issues and found the adhesive to be less than ideal. The length of the lightstrip was also noted as potentially insufficient for certain applications.

It looks great and the color options are fantastic - but it turns itself off randomly (between 2-5 minutes). Utterly useless.

This light strip is much brighter than the Hue strip, and it’s less expensive, too. I use it and two extensions to light my entire closet, so now I can easily see all the way in the back. With a thread router (HomePod Mini in my case) the lag from
bluetooth is no longer occurring.

I purchased this kit and it was not functioning properly out of the box. Contacted Nanoleaf, they were very responsive. After going through some steps they sent me a new product. It works as a light, it is still not functioning properly with my HomeKit. I bought this to test Nanoleaf products because I am really interested in their panels, or I was. Not so sure I will be making further purchases from this manufacturer.

These strip lights are an amazing addition to any room and the huge variety of colours that can be displayed are perfect for any mood. The light intensity remains very bright and I am very happy with this purchase

Good for smooth lighting accent, but couldn't use the mirror option on my smart TV and that's what I bought it.

It’s a good light but there’s other ones that provide more and cost less. Nanoleaf needs to come up with a new strip already

These are just the coolest ever! I set them up to go on and off at precise times at my chosen colors. The fact that they can rotate through colors of my choosing is an added bonus. I will be buying more

Substandard software/support kills it as a product

I have purchased 3 of these kits ended up returning one only because prematurely throwing away packaging for the first two. They lasted exactly 24 hours—in case of the first two—being alive and well in the Nanoleaf app and HomeKit. Then got the dreaded “inaccessible” message and could no longer operate them via software. Deleting and re-pairing is also no longer possible. I operate over 30 smart accessories in my home with no issues including Nanoleaf Lines. I have a Nighthawk Wifi6 router over Gb FIOS internet so no networking issues. Contacted support to no avail. They just stop responding. Meanwhile WIZ strips continue to work but unfortunately do not integrate with HomeKit. Neither does this product despite claims. I regret purchasing them. Would have give 1 star if not for the hardware quality, which appears to be fine. It’s still a bad design having the HomeKit code printed on the back of the controller so if you lose the paper copy in the box you have to rip the controller off the wall again to re-pair the units.

We are sincerely sorry about what happened here. This is the last thing we would want to hear about our customer's experience with our products. Nanoleaf LightStrips should work through HomeKit. You may also reach out to us on any of our Social Media platforms (Facebook Instagram or Twitter) We can look into this issue and even replace it if necessary, we just might need to ask a few questions to run some troubleshooting, but we will definitely be able to assist you to make sure your Lightstrips are working properly.

We are still deciding where to install the light strip. It will probably be installed under the kitchen granite island. When plugged in, the light options are incredibly beautiful.
