Nanoleaf Essentials Essentially Not Worth It – Nanoleaf Smarter Series Review

I’ve purchased over ten of these lights and CONSISTENTLY have had issues with setting them up or subsequently not responding to my device. Usually it takes resetting the bulbs multiple times to get them to respond again. In my latest attempt after finally getting the original three I purchased to operate, more than half of the bulbs will not firmware update using the developer’s own app. The only luck I’ve managed to have in setting them up is through HomeKit, but even then their responsiveness to my devices (even with hubs like Apple TV and HomePod mini) is unpredictable at best. I really wish that the developers of both the product and the app would address and fix these issues because they are really a great value for smart bulbs, but they could be so much better if they were reliable too.
