Nanoleaf 4D sync+ with essentials

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.

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.

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 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.)

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?
