New Matter Nanoleaf Lighting Kits Sync to Your TV

Nanoleaf has announced Five New Matter-Compatible Products at CES 2023, which includes the company’s first-ever learning smart light switches. The Sense+ Controls line (Sense+ Smart Light Switch, Sense+ Wireless Smart Light Switch and Nala Learning Bridge), Nanoleaf 4D TV Screen Mirror Camera & Lightstrips Kit, and Nanoleaf Skylight modular ceiling fixture, will all be revealed at CES 2023 for the first time, offering advanced smart home automations with rich, dynamic and functional lighting.



Nanoleaf 4D – TV Screen Mirror Camera and Lighstrips Smarter Kit
Nanoleaf 4D brings your entertainment experience beyond the screen. The 4D TV Smarter Kit comes with a Screen Mirror Camera and Matter-compatible Smart Addressable Lightstrip, using new Sync+ technology to transform movies and games into a truly immersive journey. With four Screen Mirror modes to choose from and up to 50 addressable zones on the Lightstrip (10 zones per 1M, Lightstrip length up to 5M), users can customise their entertainment area. The camera can be set up on top or at the bottom of the TV, whilst the Lightstrip features an easy install with snap-on brackets and included adhesives. Nanoleaf’s new Sync+ technology not only enables Screen Mirror with your TV but synchronises your entire suite of Nanoleaf lighting products together. Sync+ also enables dynamic lighting Scenes to play across your Nanoleaf lighting setup, synchronizing colours and animations so a single Scene like ‘Aurora Borealis’ and ‘Vibrant Sunrise’ play continuously across the room. Nanoleaf 4D TV Smarter Kit is launching Q2 2023 and will be available in two length options suitable for TV sizes 55”-65” and 65”-85”.




Sense+ Controls and ‘Nala’ Automation Learning Assistant
Nanoleaf’s Sense+ Controls line offers the world’s first-ever hands-free smart lighting experience. Matter-enabled and running on Thread, the Sense+ Controls line includes the hardwired Smart Light Switch, Wireless Smart Light Switch and Nala Learning Bridge. All three products have built-in motion and ambient lighting sensors to personalize your home’s lighting, automated to your daily routines and personal schedules. The Nala Learning Bridge also acts as a Thread Border Router and works as a colour-changing night light with a soft glow in the evenings.



The Sense+ products work together with Nanoleaf’s new intelligent Automation Learning Assistant—named Nala—to ‘learn’ your preferences from your everyday usage and routines. Nala is a powerful first-of-its-kind learning assistant creating personalised automations that deliver lighting exactly when, how, and where you want it. Enjoy predictive actions like turning your lights on/off, seamless brightness and colour adjustments, Scene selection based on your preferences, and more. Over time, users will be able to have a truly intelligent and hands-free experience. Nala’s automated learning technology is enabled via the Nala Learning Bridge; existing Nanoleaf Thread Border Routers* will also be upgradeable to work as a Nala Bridge.

In essence, with Sense+ Controls and Nala technology, your lights can finally ‘think’, so you don’t have to. Sense+ Controls is the winner of this year’s CES Innovation Awards, and is launching Q3 2023.



Nanoleaf Skylight – Smart Modular Flush Mount Ceiling Fixture
The Nanoleaf Skylight will be the first of its kind modular ceiling fixture that works with Matter, offering users complete control over their ceiling light’s design arrangement and area of coverage. Like Nanoleaf’s modular wall light panels products,  Skylight uses square modular RGBW LED panels that can be arranged to create a variety of different designs.

Working via Wifi, Skylight provides functional white light for everyday use and the standard 16 million colours for ambient lighting, with smart features to adjust brightness, colours, colour temperatures, and set Schedules. Skylight comes with all of the usual smart features that Nanoleaf currently offer, including the Rhythm Music Visualizer, Screen Mirror, dynamic lighting Scenes and Group Scenes. The modular ceiling fixture also acts as a Thread Border Router and comes with built-in Sense+ sensors to enable motion and ambient light sensing to enable more lighting automation capabilities in your home. Nanoleaf Skylight is launching Q3 2023.



Essentials Bulbs & Light Strips – First Thread Over Matter Lighting
The new Matter-certified Essentials Bulbs (A19, BR30, GU10 and a Recessed Downlight) and Lightstrip are launching in Q1. Additionally, Nanoleaf’s full line of modular light panels and light bars (Shapes, Elements, Canvas and Lines) will also be Matter upgradeable later this year, offering an easy software update to provide the most seamless way to set up your most personalized smarter home of the future.

*Nanoleaf Thread Border Routers include Shapes, Elements, Lines and the upcoming Nala Learning Bridge
