Nanoleaf Matter Essentials B22 LED Bulb, RGBW Dimmable Smart Bulb - Matter over Thread, Bluetooth Colour Changing Light Bulb, Works with Google Apple, Room Decor & Gaming

This nano leaf bulb was a great purchase. It was extremely easy to setup, I used apple homekit and it was a scan, switch on and it linked extremely fast. The home kit options are great but limited. So I later used the official nano leaf app and there are a range of options, strobe effects etc. The bulb itself is nice quality and can be easily dimmed or set to 100% for a very bright light. The nano leaf bulb offers a range of apps to use along side the official app and allows me to use my Alexa, nfc tags (through shortcuts and apple homekit). This was definitely worth the money, especially at the price I got it for (1/4 of the price)

For those who have the Apple TV with matter support this makes it a cheaper way to add colour bulbs to your home and control them via the Apple Home app. Setup was straight forward and it just works so great product.

Some of the older types are not Matter over Thread certified so the non-standard QR was not recognised with some border routers such as Home Assistant and Alexa.HOWEVER, the newer A19 B22 Matter Thread bulbs ARE properly Matter over Thread supported. I had mixed results at first, trying to connect to Home Assistant's OTBR and Echo Gen 4's - This gave unreliable connections.This is how I got them to work consistently though:1. Purchased a Google OTBR (Open Thread Border Router) - In my case, the Google TV Streamer 4K.2. Flushed out my phone Thread certificates by clearing the cache on the Google Play Services app.3. Flushed out the phone cache for Home Assistant, Google Home, Alexa etc, just in case they had credentials stored locally.4. Temporarily powered OFF all other border routers (Home Assistant, Alexa, Apple TV/Assistant devices if you have them).5. Ran Google Home and added a Matter Thread device to ensure the Google OTBR set down its certificates on the phone as the default certs.6. Ran NanoLeaf app and added a Nanoleaf bulb to it LOCALLY (Bluetooth only). Make sure it's near(ish) to the Google OTBR, in my case my Google TV Streamer 4K. Update to latest firmware (be patient!)7. WAIT a couple of hours(!) for it to find the Google OTBR and THEN it shows a 'Matter' button in the bulb settings, ready to add the bulb elsewhere (Most reliable way to do it, please note!)8. Use the Nanoleaf bulb settings 'Matter' button to add the new bulb to Google Home.9. Add the new bulb to Home Assistant Matter hub by 'Linked Matter Apps and Services' inside Google Home.10. Make this the default OTBR in Home Assistant by getting its 'Operational Dataset' in Nanoleafs 'Thread network' settings, and setting it inside the 'Thread' integration in Home Assistant. This gives the certificate to HA for future Thread use.This way, you have a Google OTBR as the default Thread server, and all apps will default to using it.You could then reset all other OTBR's to their defaults so that they join the Google network, but I didn't. The bulbs mesh together anyway, so I'm not sure it matters much if there are other OTBR's for them to join.This is not the sort of stuff for newbies though, which Matter and Thread are SUPPOSED to facilitate (take note Matter consortium!)

I’ve received this product today, and I’m already sending it back due to it’s unreliability and lack of compatibility, even with products of the same brand.I purchased these lightbulbs as the description stated these offered screen mirroring and I wanted to sync them with Nanoleaf 4d. Unfortunately, this is not the case as these lightbulbs are not compatible with any screen mirroring, including Nanoleaf 4D.The pairing process was quick and easy. I just scanned a code from the Nanoleaf app and the bulbs were linked automatically to Home Kit using my HomePod as thread router. The lights seemed brighter and had better colour than Philips Hue but they were constantly unreachable from both Google Home and Alexa. Home Kit could control them, but the other two assistants couldn’t. It was also a pain adding them to the Google Home app.As multiple users mentioned, these are just Home Kit bulbs that might work if you just want a smart bulb to add to Apple Home Kit. If you are looking for interoperability with other systems or any buying them for screen mirroring, look elsewhere.

Easy to setup with Apple HomeKit, took but a few minutes, no need to DL the nanoleaf app unless you wanted to (I haven’t) bulbs respond quickly to colour/brightness changes, quicker than my Hue bulbs, will highly recommend

Excellent lights and much brighter and more temperature range than previous hue lights that were triple the proce. Connected seamlessly to Homey Pro when simwitched on and by scanning the matter code. Highly recommend.

Good value bulb on deal that has lots of colours and is very bright.

Quick delivery, really easy to install via the app. Connected them to my Google home app and when they work they are great, working with automations etc. But they keep dropping connectivity with the app. I have some plugs installed at the same time which are having no issues so I'm confident it's not my WiFi or the Google app. They work fine through the product app as a back up, but it is annoying having to repair them every few days.
