I am now using a Nanoleaf 4D and using the sync+ function with my Nanoleaf shapes, but when I pressed into the sync+ settings, my Nanoleaf essentials light strips is also appearing in the sync+ setup settings, but it is says that sync+ for essentials is coming soon, I've checked for all the updates and all my devices are on the newest updated version, I have waited the function for few months already, is this function really not yet released or it's only my device not working that "sync+ with essentials" function. I would really want to use sync+ on both my Shapes and Essential strips from the 4D.
I am also waiting for this update.
Any news on a release window?
Are there any new updates currently?
For the 4D & Shapes, it works already, with the newest IOS Software. Not for the bulbs etc. ( It also says coming soon. what "soon exactly means, I dunno.)
But by "kind of" an accident, my bulbs are working now too.
I testet out the App called Nanosync TV (which does something totally different), not only was that App working nice, but also the bulbs where chiming in to the 4D Sync+ (I don't know why, but they do.) But for now, the App works only on Google TV's or Chromecast with Google TV 4K). In the Nanoleaf App, it still says "coming soon", but for me it works. Anyhow, if you want to try it, the App is only 2.55$, so not mutch to loose.
To the Setup 4D Cam with lightstrips, did you buy them in the complete package, or just the Camera and used Lightstrips you already had? I got the full set since months now, and the where working since day one. If you got the Cam and Strips separately, that could be the case.
Still waiting for this essential update.
My 4D camera is lying useless in a drawer.
I reached out to the support asking for any news an a release window for this update:
There is currently no news on this topic.
Maybe it is „coming soon“…
I too am waiting. It’s insane to me that they haven’t made this happen. My whole house is essentials (strips and bulbs) and not one works with this Nanoleaf 4D. I literally bought the camera only from day 1 and still nothing.
I was hoping the latest updates were enabling sync+.
And to some degree it did?
I cannot select my essentials in the sync+ setup menu (still saying that the feature would be available soon…), BUT if I just check the box on the main screen of my 4D, all available essentials with the latest firmware sync up. It still says that 0 of my 5 devices were selected, but they do work.
Maybe it’s a sign that it will actually be available soon.
In the notes for iOS Version 10.8.0, it states:
"Added 4D Sync+ support for Matter WiFi devices."
I am on 10.8.2 and have the Nanoleaf essentials tv light strip (v9.6.3) with a matter a19 light bulb (v3.6.196).
When I try to sync my bulb to the light strip, it still says 'coming soon.'
Pretty frustrating. I was hoping to buy more lights to add to the room to replace my lifx ones. Will hold off.
August 2024 n still waiting (coming soon)

Nanoleaf has done a 360 on their position that these bulbs will be able to sync up with other devices such as the nanoleaf 4d. It use to say coming soon on the app. The sad thing is that they did sync up for awhile through a glitch and it was awesome! Nanoleaf had done an update and has stopped that glitch so now these bulbs are lame. Hardware wise it is a possibility but for some reason Nanoleaf through poor software/ app design has decided to not include this feature. So now it is not coming soon.

I installed Nanosync on my 4K Chromecast and added my 4D to it, but it won't override the camera. Is there something else I need to do?
Todays beta adds Sync+ for Essentials.

I've OPTED in for beta software with my essentials and 4D so that i can get the sync+ service running. I would love my essentials downlights to sync up with the 4D. But even after 2 days my mobile app hasn't prompted me about updating to any new beta firmware. How do I go about upgrading my firmware to the beta firmware with the sync+ for essentials added??

Hello, are you referring to iOS app beta or Essentials beta FW ?
I switched my Nanoleaf devices to beta yesterday but no beta firmware updates are being offered.
I've not done anything with my Android app regarding betas.

Yes same here buddy! Are we missing something?
Success. My spot had a firmware update available and now syncs with the 4D.
I opted in all my Essentials Downlights and the 4D Light Strip for the Beta firmware, but even after about 8 days, nothing happened.
However, I noticed an update for the Nanoleaf iOS app (v11.2.0) a couple of days ago. The main patch note mentioned: “Added 4D Sync+ support for Nanoleaf Essentials.”
I got excited and updated my app. Following the update, it prompted me to update all my Essentials Downlights from firmware 4.1.0 to 4.13.
After updating, I could select all my Essentials Downlights in the Sync+ tab under the 4D section and even configure where each light was located. Unfortunately, they still don’t sync with the 4D Light Strip. The downlights remain in their current state or previously selected colors.
I’ve tried toggling the Sync+ feature on and off multiple times, but no luck. Last night, I went as far as deleting all the lights from both the Nanoleaf app and Apple Home, then re-pairing them. While this seems to have resolved the glitches and responsiveness issues (especially via Apple Home), the Sync+ feature is still not working.
Thanks for update RFISH3r. I’ll try and update when I get home. Sad to see you’re still stuck but one step closer at least. Omg! Why so hard.
Yeah mate let me know how yours would end up after updating. It shouldn’t be hard it’s just the support for this brand sucks
@XxRFISH3RxX For me the GU10 spots are not working as well. The normal E27 bulbs do sync up now.
So I think it is something specific with the spots.
My single spot worked fine.
I don't hold much grudge against Nanoleaf, other companies are way worse. Being over 50 I try and manage my expectations :)
My ongoing pain atm is trying to get Home Assistant to see non-Matter Thread Essentials bulbs. My Nanoleaf Matter ones are fine but the pre matter ones are testing my patience.
I have the Nano leaf 4D tv lights and tried to sync 2 E27 matter light bulbs. its showing there active on the sync but nothings happening and staying to there normal colours. tried to reset it but still didn't work so not sure what's happening.
