Nano Leaf and Home

[Kecyre]

i am unable to connect my Google home account to my Nano Leaf. The Nanoleaf app is on my phone and Controlla the light correctly.

See attached image

 

I only have one bulb, was trying it out before I bought more.

What model of bulb is it? Do Nanoleaf list it as a model that supports integration with Google Home?

Hey Kecyre,

Apologize for the delays. I appreciate  for helping here.

Chiming in to ensure everything is covered here. Just to add, not all Matter-enabled smart home devices from third-party manufacturers will include a Thread radio. Some Matter devices will simply connect to your Google Home over only your existing home Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. In order to get the best Matter experiences and performance over Thread with Google Home, you will need a compatible Google device that has Thread border router built-in.

The Thread border router in your Google device connects your Thread smart device network to the rest of your devices on your Wi-Fi or Ethernet; ensuring they are all communicating as one for Google Home. Below are the Google devices that can act as a Thread border router with Google Home:

• Displays: Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max
• Wi-Fi routers:  Nest Wifi Pro (Wi-Fi 6E)

We know that you're hesitant to set up your NanoLeaf light as a Matter device, but if you have the required devices, we highly suggest that you try it out so you can experience how seamless it is to control your light using the Google Home/Nest devices.

Cheers,

Muddi

Looks as though that product can use Google Home seamless setup (i.e. it can be setup with the Home app instead of the manufacturer's app) but to manage it requires a technology called Thread, which is still rolling out.

Man, kinda feels a bit disingenuous to put it on the box if it's not rolled out all the way. 

At least I just got the one bulb.
