How's reliability for you?

Post by Different Computers »

I find that my Nanoleaf devices are, with the specific exception of one homeseer zwave motion sensor model, the least reliable things in my HA.

Hardly a week goes by without having to power cycle a bulb, or re-add a device, or remove and rejoin a light panel to my wifi. Today I have one bulb that at least needs to be power cycled, and another that won't talk to Apple Home but responds to the Nanoleaf app.

Anyone else feel this way?

I'll summarize here by saying I took advantage of an end of year Hue sale to completely replace my Nanoleaf bulbs, and I couldn't feel more relieved.

They were a constant fight to keep "connected", which I put in quotes because they don't actually connect to Indigo at all, regardless of the Nanoleaf plugin. That only works with light panels.

I absolutely do not recommend their bulbs at all, and given the current prices of Hue Essentials bulbs, there's no longer any real reason to consider Nanoleaf bulbs.
