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

I had high hopes for the Nanoleaf Sense+ Smart Wireless Light Switch. A wireless smart switch with Matter support sounded like the perfect way to control lights without rewiring walls.Sadly, this turned into one of the most frustrating smart-home devices I’ve bought.Matter setup – never actually workedThe plan was to add it via Matter to my Aqara setup. In theory: simple. In practice: repeated pairing failures. Resets, retries, different devices — it just would not complete the Matter connection process.For something marketed around Matter compatibility, that’s a pretty big problem.Then it just… diedAfter about two days, it stopped responding entirely. No lights, no connection, no signs of life. New batteries didn’t help. It basically turned into a small, square piece of modern art.Smart home gear being a bit buggy? Annoying but common. Completely dying after 48 hours? Not acceptable.The concept is greatOn paper this device is brilliant:✔ Wireless✔ Scene control✔ Modern designBut none of that matters if it won’t connect — or worse, stops working altogether.VerdictI really wanted to like this, but between Matter setup failures and the unit dying almost immediately, it’s going straight back.I used to be a big Nanoleaf fan and had several of their products around the house. But after repeated reliability issues and now a device that failed completely within days, I’m slowly replacing them with more stable alternatives. Smart home gear should fade into the background and just work — not become another thing to troubleshoot.

This Nanoleaf Sense+ wireless light switch has been a fantastic solution for a room where the existing light switch was on the opposite side of the space. It completely saved me from having to rewire anything, which was exactly what I needed. Setup was quick and straightforward, and it paired easily with my Nanoleaf lights.The motion and daylight sensors are genuinely useful, the lights turning on automatically when you walk into the room in the dark feels surprisingly premium and convenient. The two configurable buttons are great for manual control and dimming, and everything responds quickly.I also really like that the switch is detachable, so you can place it on a table or keep it nearby instead of mounting it permanently. Overall, it’s a smart, flexible, and well-thought-out product that adds real convenience without any installation hassle. Highly recommended if you want smart lighting control without rewiring.

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.

I must review these again, as they are good while they work but very difficult to set up and very difficult to move to another Thread network. I sent quite a few back with battery issues as well!

Weeks of back-and-forth with Nanoleaf support has been a nightmare. They are fully aware that the Sense+ ships with defective firmware that breaks Matter/Thread connectivity, yet they refuse to push the available update to fix it. Instead, they waste your time blaming Google for their own hardware failure. Don't be fooled by the ‘Matter’ branding—it’s fundamentally broken, and the company’s support team is designed to stall, not solve. The Firmeware version out of the box 4.0.0. The updated version nanoleaf needs to push is 4.1.0 or newer which fixes the bugs to allow it to join a thread/matter network. They refuse to push it. I’m moving my entire setup to another brand. If I could offer zero stars I would.

Quite temperamental, good when it works, bad when it dosen't. Had to delete and add my devices repeatedly. Good product and well made, if the connectivity issues were sorted.

This is a great item, setting up on Thread to use with Apple Home proved a bit fiddly but works really well once done. Motion and light detection work really well.

Bad product doesn’t work with half of the lights

I bought this Nanoleaf smart button to control my Nanoleaf smart bulb in the E27 version (matter over thread). The button can be added to Apple home app. All work perfect!

Le produit a été livré très rapidement, je l'ai connecté à l'application Nanoleaf très facilement et depuis je n'utilise que le bouton pour contrôler mes lumière Nanoleaf, j'utilise aussi le capteur de lumière du jour que je trouve pratique. Aucun regret surtout que le produit ne coute pas cher

Don't buy from this seller as he sends opened/used stuff

人感センサーがついているので、部屋に入ったときにライトをつける動作をしなくて良いのでとても便利です！また各ボタンに色を変える、明るさを変える、設定をすることができるので、一度使ったら手放せないです。ちなみに最初購入したものが、不良品でカスタマーサポートに連絡したらすぐに新しいものを送ってきてくれたので、サポートも安心できました。
