Nanoleaf Sense+ Smart Wireless Light Switch (Installation-Free) for Nanoleaf Smart Lights, Portable Remote Dimmer with 2 Configurable Buttons, Motion & Daylight Sensors, Indoor

Easy to use smart switch that looks really stylish. It was easy to set up with my existing smart lights. With no wires needed it enables you to install the switch in any position you want to

Setting up the Sense+ has been quite a challenge; I had to delete all my lights and re-add them individually. Once everything is functioning, it's fantastic. However, there's no option to control two zones or rooms with a single remote, so I ended up purchasing a second one.Overall, I really enjoy it. The choice of battery is somewhat unusual, but it's worth considering. I haven't used it long enough to comment on its durability. If you're not a fan of the app or are looking for a faster way to operate light strips, it's definitely a worthwhile investment.

High quality switch which I prefer to competitors like Philips Hue. It is much more tactile and gives a more positive confirmation of actuation which is very pleasant and more like what you would expect from a normal light switch.This only really works with Nanoleaf products, but that's no different to other switches.

Tried and failed to connect to Google home and smart life.

Great quality switch, easy installation, was extremely easy to connect and felt premium. Very happy with how easy it is to pick up the remote and put it back neatly as if it were a light switch.

Excellent smart light switch with great functionality and easy set up. Totally recommend

The advertised specs of this smart switch were very promising; six buttons, inbuilt motion and light sensors, plus WiFi, Thread and Bluetooth connectivity as well as Matter compatibility allowing use with Apple HomeKit, Google Home and Alexa. Seemingly a light switch that does just about everything right... sadly in almost every respect this switch doesn’t live up to the hype.Firstly let’s start with the positives; if you own recent Nanoleaf lights then this switch will connect to them using Nanoleaf’s proprietary protocol - Litewave - perfectly and control them either by button presses or the inbuilt motion/light sensors very well. This is the only scenario where I could recommend this light switch.Now for the bad news. The claims of WiFi, Thread and Bluetooth connectivity make this sound like a very universal device, however this is rather misleading. What is really happening here is that using Nanoleaf’s proprietary Litewave protocol this switch can connect to any Nanoleaf light - be it WiFi, Thread or Bluetooth - it cannot connect to other generic gateways/hubs.My final hope was the claimed Matter compatibility, I thought at least this will allow me to connect to Home Assistant and get this working with non-Nanoleaf products as claimed in the description. Unfortunately the claims of Matter support are farcical; firstly you require a Thread border router, as that is the only connection option supported by this device for Matter, secondly should you have such a device only the two side buttons are usable with Matter, the other four buttons and motion/light sensors are NOT available. Perhaps a future update will remedy this but currently the limited Matter support is basically pointless.The switch itself feels reasonable quality, not dissimilar to products from other brands, but the mounting plate has a rather big flaw. You cannot replace a standard light switch with this device as unlike say the Hue Dimmer V2 the screw holes are not spaced to suit a standard UK light switch back box, there are just two holes positioned in the centre making this only suitable for stand alone mounting.If Nanoleaf had just been honest and advertised this as only suitable for use with Nanoleaf products supporting the Litewave protocol then I would have rated this 4 stars. However I felt let down at every turn so rating against Nanoleaf’s claimed functionality I can only rate this 2 stars. As such I have averaged this out at 3 stars.

This wireless light switch is a handy addition if you already have Nanoleaf smart lights. It’s easy to use, and since it doesn’t need installation, you can place it anywhere or use it as a portable remote. The buttons are configurable, which makes it flexible for different setups.The built-in motion and daylight sensors are a nice touch, helping automate lighting based on movement and room brightness. It works well and responds quickly, making it a useful way to control lights without needing an app. I would recommend it.
