I purchased 50+ matter-over-thread spotlights from Nanoleaf plus a 3 strips thinking I could control them through Google Home (with a couple of Google Nests as thread routers) or at least with the Nanoleaf app. That was a mistake. The lights worked probably 20% of the time. They would always lose connection and could only get them to work if I set them up again from scratch. Just when I was about to throw them to the bin and go back to Hue, the switches came about. I now have 7-8 switches around the house and that's the only relieable way to use my lights. It would be better if I didn't need them but at least now I can use my lights.

I was looking for a way to directly control some of my Nanoleafs without the app. It would be even better if one switch could handle more than one light.

It’s so much more comfortable to turn on and off my lights with the remote.
Before I used my phone to turn three lights on and off.
And my smart hub often doesn’t work with voice.
So it’s a welcoming addition to the smart lights in my room

I have installed more than 30 Matter spotlights (Nanoleaf Essentials) all over my house but they never worked well either with the Nanoleaf app (which is terrible) or Google Home. Lights will always go offline for no reason and did not work consistently at tall. It was such a frustrating experience until the Sense+ switches came along. They communicate with the lights with a proprietary protocol as I understand it, which means they work. I can finally turn lights on and off consistently, dim them, and change colors. A bit on the expensive side but if you’ve already spent a fortune on Nanoleaf lights, you need these switches to make them work.

Turned out even better than expected
