Meet Matter
The New Standard for Smarter Homes
Matter is a universal language for your devices, made to simplify your smart home and enable even more intelligence and automation. No more worrying about which devices are compatible with each other—with Matter, all of your products will work together for the most seamless experience.

Setting Up or Adding to Your Smart Home?
When it comes down to it, Matter is basically an agreement between all your favourite smart home platforms to play nice and finally work together with ALL smart home devices, regardless of the brand (as long as they’re Matter certified, which they all eventually will be).
To get started with Nanoleaf Matter products, you'll need two main things:
- 1
A Matter-compatible smart home hub that is paired to a smart home ecosystem
- 2
Thread border router

GUIDE TO MATTERHow Will Matter Upgrade My Smart Home?
A Unified System
All of your devices can finally play nice. Matter-compatibility allows devices to seamlessly work together, so you can set them up with any of the major platforms and connect more products together for even more powerful automations in your home.
Faster & More Reliable
Nanoleaf’s Essentials Matter Bulbs & Lightstrips use Matter over Thread, giving you the fastest & most reliable connection.
Future Integrations
Matter is creating a future of interoperability, where devices can work together in more interesting ways. For instance, imagine a future where your lights dim automatically the moment you turn on your TV.
Matter will provide even more ways for users to customise their smart homes, adding the devices they want with the automations they need, without worrying about restrictions.
Simple Setup
Add your Matter device to the Nanoleaf App by simply scanning the Matter QR code. Scan or share the same code to connect to your favourite smart home ecosystem just as easily.
Foundation For The Future
Major smart home players have agreed to speak the same language—Matter. As these players continue to work on integrating Matter into their products, the Matter experience across all smart home ecosystems will continue to evolve and improve.
Futureproof your home knowing the smart products you’re buying now will continue to work with any smart home ecosystem now and for the future.
Getting Started with Matter

Nanoleaf’s Essentials Matter line of Bulbs and Lightstrips are easier than ever to set up with Matter. Connect them with the Nanoleaf App and your preferred smart home platform (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings) to sync all of your Matter-certified devices together.
To get started with Matter, make sure you have a Matter compatible smart home hub and a Thread border router. Learn more.
Which Products work with Matter?
Nanoleaf’s Essentials Matter line will include an A19, GU10, BR30, Downlight Bulbs and a Lightstrip. This new line of Essentials Matter lights will all be Matter compatible—using Matter over Thread— however previous models of Essentials Bulbs and Lightstrips will not be retroactively upgradable to Matter.
We’re continuing to build Matter into future products, including an upcoming line of smart controls to enable more seamless automations, set for release later in 2023. We’re also working on upgrading many of our existing Smarter Decor wall lights to Matter.
