Nanoleaf-Hue Integration Nears as Support Page Appears Briefly
A brief Philips Hue support page reveals Nanoleaf integration is imminent, with an announcement expected Thursday.
The page was spotted by Android Authority and reported by TechRadar. It described which Nanoleaf products would be supported and how the integration would work. The page has since vanished, suggesting it was published prematurely.
This follows a tip from a few days ago that Philips Hue would add support for Nanoleaf Shapes. The initial rumor pointed to an announcement on Thursday, September 3, which aligns with the brief appearance of the support page. While nothing is official yet, the evidence strongly suggests the integration is coming.
According to the now-removed support page, Nanoleaf panels will "behave like a Hue light, ready to be used across your entire smart lighting setup." The panels would work similarly to a gradient strip light, allowing users to adjust colors using the standard color wheel in the Philips Hue app.
The connection would be made through a Philips Hue Wall Light Module that links to Nanoleaf devices. Supported devices listed include Nanoleaf Hexagons, Triangles, and Mini Triangles.
Questions remain about the exact connectivity mechanism amid various smart home standards. Still, the development appears promising for both Philips Hue and Nanoleaf users, as it would bring two popular lighting platforms closer together.
