Feature Request: OpenAPI Support for Nanoleaf Essentials & Outdoor Permanent Light Scenes

As a Home Assistant + Matter + Thread user, I’d really like to request expanded OpenAPI support for Nanoleaf Essentials devices, especially:

Essentials Matter-over-Thread Bulbs
Essentials Light Strips
Outdoor Permanent Lights

Right now, these devices expose only generic Matter lighting controls (brightness/color/color temp) to platforms like Home Assistant. The actual Nanoleaf scene engine — which is arguably the best part of the ecosystem — is locked inside the Nanoleaf app.

This creates a frustrating split for advanced smart-home users:

Home Assistant handles scheduling/automation/orchestration
Nanoleaf app handles themes/effects
But there is no clean API bridge between them

What many of us want is:

ability to enumerate available Nanoleaf scenes/themes
activate scenes via API
trigger holiday themes automatically
integrate scenes into Home Assistant automations
preserve Nanoleaf’s superior visual effects while still using open smart-home orchestration

For example:

automatically switch to Halloween themes in October
Christmas themes in December
July 4th themes in July
game/movie/event-triggered scenes
schedule scenes based on sunset or presence

The current Matter implementation makes Essentials devices behave like generic RGB lights, which loses much of what makes Nanoleaf unique.

Even a simple local REST API endpoint like:

list scenes
activate scene
query current scene

would dramatically improve integration possibilities.

This would make Nanoleaf far more compelling for advanced Home Assistant users compared to alternatives like WLED, which already offers extensive API-driven effect automation.

Please consider exposing the

Nanoleaf scene engine for Essentials and Outdoor Permanent Lights through the OpenAPI.

Thank you for your consideration.
