Applies to Nanoleaf Essentials Matter & 'Non-Matter' Bulbs [Wifi-enabled, Thread-enabled, Matter over Thread, Matter over Wifi, HomeKit)

⚠️ Our Essentials Bulbs aren’t compatible with smart switches or dimmer fixtures. If yours is connected to one of these, move it to a regular fixture before proceeding... trust us, it’ll make things way easier.

• Go to your phone’s Settings > Bluetooth
• Toggle Bluetooth OFF and wait for 1 minute.
• Restart your phone.
• Go back to Settings and toggle Bluetooth ON.

⚠️ Follow This Sequence Carefully

Turn on the bulb using the physical wall switch and leave it on for 10 seconds.

Complete the following power sequence:

• Turn off for 3 seconds
• Turn on for less than 1 second
• Turn off for 3 seconds
• Turn on for less than 1 second

Repeat this cycle four (4) times in total.

After the final cycle, leave the bulb ON.

If you nailed the sequence, you’ll see the bulb flash three (3) red blinks, turn off, and then turn back on automatically. That’s your signal that the reset was successful!

•  Enable Bluetooth on your phone.
•  Open the Nanoleaf app and follow the prompts to pair your bulb one by one.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MATTER-ENABLED BULBS
If you’re using a Matter-compatible bulb and planning to connect it to a smart home ecosystem, make sure you start the process immediately after the reset. Matter bulbs follow a strict 15-minute security commission window (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds), so be sure to pair it within that time frame.

📢 Firmware Update | Once the bulb is paired, check for any available firmware updates in the Nanoleaf app and install them. 
This ensures your bulb is running the latest and greatest version.
