On the Radar
Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Nanoleaf Smarter Kit
Built to link into Apple HomeKit, Nanoleaf’s Smarter Kit allows you to turn your lights on or off using Siri on your iPhone. Simply say “Siri, turn on my lights,” and they turn on instantly. You can also program presets with which a voice command will turn on a specific set of lights within the system and dim them to your desired output. As a guard against becoming outdated, the kit also allows software updates.
