nanoleaf Essentials Matter Smart Multicolor HD Lightstrip API?!?

Started by winter__shape__381

I'm trying to connect my new nanoleaf Essentials Matter Smart Multicolor HD Lightstrip device to Home Assistant as I have done before with other nanoleaf devices.

According to your docs I try to acquire an access token, that works if I replace the POST through a GET request, but when I try to get the device information /api/v1/:access_token, it fails with an internal server error 500.

The only way to integrate my nanoleaf Essentials Matter Smart Multicolor HD Lightstrip is with the detour via Google Home, but than I can only select single colors and cannot access the scenes. That makes it almost worthless :-(

Hope to get some good advice here…

Hello, are you planning to add animation API for the HD Lightstrip with each diode addressable separately? That would be a gamechanger :D

Hey @winter__shape__381

Are you referring to the 'paint' feature? If yes, thats being worked on right now.

I haven't heard back from HA yet, let me ping them once again.

Hey Ali

I'm referring to the HA support for the new Nanoleaf Matter devices…

I thought so that this probably got stuck. I don't know with whom you're in contact with…
I'm already working with a custom Nanoleaf component in HA, because the developers of the official HA Nanoleaf component seem kind of "out of order"…

Where can I get some instructions of what has changed on your side so that I can bring the HA Nanoleaf component further…?

Best regards
Andy

I'm also trying to use the the Sense+ Smart Wireless Switch over the HA (Home Assistant) or Home kit

But until now I don't have success, can you please let me know if there is any possibility to use this device on the HA or even into Home KIT platforms?

Thank you and best regards

Hi @MiAutomations

For that you will need to pair the Sense+ switch on the Nanoleaf Smarter Series app and click on 'Enable Matter' in device settings. That will then enable it to work with HA over Matter.
In a similar manner it will work with Apple Home over Matter as well, but not over the Apple HomeKit protocol.

Note that Matter is in early access for the Sense+ Switch and it may have issues when working with HA.
