Through the Nanoleaf Smarter app, you can easily name bulbs, assign bulbs to rooms, and create scenes. The Nanoleaf light bulbs can be dimmed down to as low as 1% and turned up 100% to a crisp illumination equivalent to a 60W incandescent bulb.
Let your creativity run wild with the naming of rooms and scenes!
-
"Hustle time!" – Turns the lights in the bedroom to 100% to wake you up and get you ready for a fresh new day.
-
"Honey, I'm Home" – Turns the lights on to 50% for a warm and relaxing "welcome home" ambiance.
-
"Snuggle Puddle" – Dims down the lights to a romantic 5%.
-
"Siri, Netflix and Chill" - set the lights to 1%, just enough to see what's good.

We packed a lot of intelligence into this little dodecahedron. We use the Zigbee Protocol to communicate with our lights. Unlike Bluetooth, you don't need to be in the same room to control your lights and Zigbee is much more energy efficient than Wifi.
By using a Hub, we can build intelligence and automation into it, creating the foundation of your smarter experience.

Future-Proof - Technology that Grows with Time
Through our selection of software protocols and materials, we have designed the entire product offering to last for decades.
-
Freedom to use other light bulbs and apps: We do not want to limit your freedom to select which products to buy or apps to use. We use the Zigbee protocol to communicate between the hub and the lamp, and we have tested with the other light bulbs (such as Philips Hue & GE Link) to ensure they work as well. You can also use any HomeKit compatible iOS app to talk with our hub.
-
The software on our hub can receive regular updates: Just like the apps on your smartphone, or the software on your computer, the software on the hub can be updated just by being connected to Internet. Therefore, as protocol changes or we have created new functionality, we will add that to the hub without any additional cost. This includes Android compatibility. In 2016 we will update the software on the hub to support Android control, at no additional cost.
-
The LEDs in the lamp will shine vibrantly for decades: For normal usage at home, the LED bulbs can last up to 30 years. We accomplish this through our use of the best LED technology and patented bulb design that ensures longevity.

Bonus Function: Uniquely dimmable without a dimmer switch!
You can also use your regular light switch to dim your lights.
With a double click of your light switch (OFF-ON), the light will start to dim and double click again to set the desired brightness. Similar to our previous product, the Nanoleaf Bloom. See below for an instructional video:
Nanoleaf Bloom Instructional Video - Nanoleaf Smart Ivy includes this functionality in addition to the ability to work with Siri.

The risks of the Nanoleaf Smarter Kit campaign are small. All production moulds and manufacturing capabilities and certifications are already complete. Both embedded and iOS app software have undergone quality control and beta testing. With confidence, we will be able to build and fullfil the products shortly after the campaign ends. As always with combined software and hardware design, there is a possibility of bugs and minor defects. Thanks to the ability to update the firmware on the Nanoleaf Smart Hub remotely, we are able to update the firmware to fix bugs that are discovered after product release.
Our goal is to have the reward to you in December 2015. If the number of backers become very large, some of the orders may take an additional month to fulfil. Early orders are given priority if this situation were to occur.

How do I set up the Nanoleaf Smarter Kit?
It’s easy! All you have to do is plug the Hub into your router, screw the Smart Ivy bulbs into your desired fixture and follow the setup guidelines within the app. Then you can start setting up the fun stuff like scenes and individual names.
Does the Smarter Kit work with Android?
The Smarter Kit currently works with iOS. We are developing Android compatibility for the Smarter Kit, with an app set to be released in early 2016.
Does it come in a Bayonet base?
No, the Smarter Kit comes in the E26 and E27 Edison screw base. The E26 base is meant for North America, Central America, Taiwan and Japan. The E27 base is suitable for the rest of the world.
Is the Nanoleaf Ivy color changing?
This is something we’re developing. The Smart Gem (a smart connected version of our Nanoleaf Gem) will be color temperature adjustable. This means you can adjust the bulb from 6000K (bright daylight quality) to 2700K (warm comfortable glow like an incandescent). The Smart Gem will be released in early 2016.
What do you mean by special dimming functionality?
The Smart Ivy has the same special dimming function as the Nanoleaf Bloom. This means you can dim the bulb using any regular on/off light switch in four easy steps:
- Flick switch ON to turn on bulb
- Wait for bulb to reach full brightness, takes 3-4 seconds
- Flick switch OFF+ON to start dimming*
- Flick switch OFF+ON again to set brightness level*
*flicking switch OFF+ON needs to be very quick motion in order to initiate/set dimming
For more information please visit the Nanoleaf Bloom page on our website http://nanoleaf.me/products/origami-series/nanoleaf-bloom/
What is the power draw from the light switch when the bulb is off and on standby mode?
The power draw would be 0.5W and in one year this will cost the user a whopping total of $0.50!
Can I place the Hub in one room and control the light bulbs in another room?
Definitely! The light bulbs can be controlled from a distance of up to 50 meters. This can vary depending on the setting and objects between the bulb and hub.
How many bulbs can one Hub control?
The Nanoleaf Hub can control up to 32 light bulbs.
What are rooms?
The Rooms feature allows you to manage your bulbs according to your home layout. You can organize your lights based on which room they’re in. For example, the smart lights that are physically in your bedroom can be assigned to your Bedroom in the app for instant on/off and dimming when you say “turn on my bedroom lights."
What are scenes?
The Scenes feature lets you create specific dimness/brightness levels based on different times of days or occasions. For example, you can create a custom scene called “Movie Night” where all of the lights in your home turn off except for in the living room where the lights will be set at 50%.
Can I use the Nanoleaf Hub with other smart light bulbs?
Yes, our Hub is compatible with other Zigbee-enabled light bulbs. This includes smart bulbs like Philips Hue, Osram Lightify, GE Link and Cree Connected.
How do I download the app?
Head over to the AppStore on your iOS device and type in Nanoleaf.
Does Smarter Kit work in my country?
The Nanoleaf Smarter Kit works anywhere your iPhone works. Just make sure that when you complete your survey at the end of the campaign, you choose the right bulb base depending on your location.
