Quick setup for your HomeKit-compatible Essentials devices with no Matter hub required:

Step 1 • Open the Nanoleaf App on your iOS device.

Step 2 • From the Dashboard, tap the pencil icon in the top right.

Step 3 • Tap Add Device +.

You’ll now have two pairing options:

Option 1: Scan to Pair | Scan the HomeKit code (house icon) found:

• On the side of the bulb, or

• On the back of the lightstrip controller.

Option 2: Pair Manually | Tap “Use Pairing Code”.

• Press the Pair button on the device (bulb or controller).

• To help identify the device, tap the magnifying glass icon to make it flash (only available within 15 minutes of powering on).

• If you don’t want to flash the device, you can match the last three characters of the device name with the “ID:” label printed on it.

• Enter the 8-digit pairing code printed on the device to complete the setup.

Step 4

• Once connected, the app will ask for permission to access your network and look for available Thread networks.

• If a compatible Thread network is found, the app will automatically provision your device.

Step 5

• Give your device a name and assign it to a room in the Nanoleaf App.

Device Requirements: Ensure you are on the latest version of the Nanoleaf App.

Network Requirements: A 2.4GHz network is required (Nanoleaf products don’t work on 5GHz). Turn Bluetooth ON. 📲 Your mobile device must also be on 2.4 GHz during setup and Bluetooth must be turned ON.

Pairing Code: Find your QR code or 8-digit code on your Quick Start Guide or the back of your Controller/Bulb base.
