Nanoleaf Matter Essentials Lightstrip Starter Kit, 2M Smart RGBW LED Strip Light - Matter Over Thread, Bluetooth Colour Changing LED Strip, Works with Google Apple, Room Decor and Gaming

The brightness on these light are amazing and they are able to connect with HomePods or any smart assistant and overall a very smart device however sometimes there are connectivity issues and occasionally they do turn of then turn back but otherwise the best lights ever

I bought this to add to my Apple Home system, it's so temperamental and always having issues connecting. It does not like staying on for extended periods of time and at least a couple of times an hour will just turn off for no reason. Sometimes when turning on it will forget the last setting and be super low brightness so I have to go in to Nanoleafs awfully designed app to fix it. The LEDs are not individually addressable so can only display one colour at a time also. The only thing I liked is how bright it can get but tbh this product is awful as a smart device. If you are considering this I would recommend just getting a cheaper 'dumb' led strip instead and plugging it into a smart wifi plug for turning it on and off. I paid over £40 for this and would say it's worth about £15.

Not as good as the HomeKit version of this product. Managed to add it to the Nanoleaf app but it would not pair with HomeKit no matter what I tried. Have just decided to return it and use Philips hue instead.

Great value for money. Works with apple home. Easy to install, although the tape doesn’t hold well on the corners. Few connectivity issues every now and then, But nothing annoying. The white is VERY bright.

Put it around the TV stand and it really sets the scene. It great how you can change the scenes

This is a very premium light strip, which is just as well as it is very expensive. However you do get what you pay for here. The app is excellent, intuitive and professional and the lights are part of a well thought out lighting system. The light strip itself has excellent 3m adhesion and is covered in a thick plastic sheath, by far the best quality strip I’ve seen. The LEDs go eye burning bright and the colours are rich and really pop, these are very good quality LEDs. There is a in line remote , but the app is much easier , it’s really well made covering all their products you can even test animations presets without downloading them every time. This is ideal for a streamer to add interest to a back ground or to throw colour on products, again it goes very bright so can be used as studio lighting also. This is a durable well thought out product giving you expansion options , but you do pay for it, and while I have good quality alternatives , this is a step above them in terms expansion and light quality as well as being reliable on IOS too.

The connection between the control unit and the strip is flimsly. The adhesive on the back of the strip is almost non-existent. Impossible to run underneath a unit because it just peels away. The mains plug is international so large and bulky with inbuilt transformer. No USB powering possible The control unit attachment cable to the strip is unwieldy and needs contorting into place. Waste of money paying for the premium brand when it's so badly thought out and functionally deficient.

I wasn't able to fully test these strips as it turns out I dont have the correct router. Due to this I couldn't connect to the app but I was able to test some of the features using the remote/buttons on the controller box. So before you buy these it is worth checking if you have a border router otherwise you will not be able to control the LEDs in the app or with a smart assistant. They feel well made and I like that it has a female pin connector on the end of the LED strip so you can easily connect two strips together without having to solder anything. They are very bright and I like that it comes with strong 3M double sided tape to attach it to your desired surface. Overall even though I wasn't able to test all the features or light modes, the few features I did try work well.
