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.

I second this!

I think most of what you are asking is in the API.
