The Skins are available in matte black or matte pink. You can fit these over the bars and connectors, which are white by default. Each $29.99 package comes with nine skins and nine mounting caps.

Nanoleaf plans to support all Thread over HomeKit products

Nanoleaf plans to release an update in the first quarter of this year to allow its Thread Border Routers to work with all Thread over HomeKit devices, allowing you to have improved responsiveness and connectivity between devices. This update will enable the Nanoleaf Shapes, Elements, and Lines to work with Thread over HomeKit devices, including Nanoleaf's Essentials Bulb and Lightstrip, the Apple TV 4K, and different Thread-enabled Eve products. As more devices support Thread in a smart home, that strengthens the ecosystem.

This update also allows Nanoleaf to prepare for the Matter over Thread devices it plans to launch later this year. Matter is another connectivity standard designed to boost smart home device interoperability. Companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung support this standard. Nanoleaf says it is working with the Connectivity Standards Alliance to integrate Matter into current and future products. The company plans to launch its first Matter-compatible devices in late 2022.

Nanoleaf Lines lets you achieve that YouTuber background in your space

Nanoleaf

Nanoleaf has shifted from giving us triangles, squares, hexagons with wood-like veneer to lines. The aptly named Nanoleaf Lines collection is modular LED light panels in a bar shape. These are backlit and connect at a 60-degree angle so you can create the geometric designs you want. These feature dual-colour zones, so the lights can show two different colours. While Nanoleaf Elements had a more natural feel, the Lines gives us gamer/YouTuber vibes from the get-go.

Lines can be installed with pre-affixed, double-sided tape, and they are powered by a large plug with a 14.7-foot cable. Each Line light emits 20 lumens, has a colour temp range of 1200K to 6500K, and can display over 16 million colours. You can connect up to 18 Lines per power supply. The lights are controllable via the Nanoleaf app, an on-device remote, or voice control with the voice assistant of your choosing. It must be noted that these lights only work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Nanoleaf enables Thread border routers for its Shapes, Elements smart light panels

Nanoleaf has just enabled Thread border routers in its Shapes and Elements smart light panels. This means it can better integrate with your smartphone accessories. By activating this feature on these light panels, you can use the Thread network to communicate with other Thread devices in your home using the Android operating system. These panels will now also support Samsung SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. 

Thread is an open networking protocol built by companies like Google, Samsung, and Qualcomm to allow their home accessories to communicate via peer-to-peer connectivity. Apple has since joined the alliance, with the HomePod mini being its first product to support the Thread protocol.
