Nanoleaf Smart Switch, Motion Sensor Light Switch with Dimmer, Wireless Smart Matter Button, 2 Configurable with Up to 6 Custom Actions, Compatible with Apple Home, Alexa, and SmartThings

Such a useful addition to help me think less and do more
I have a few different Nanoleaf products in my home and one day when I was playing around in the app creating some new scenes, I started clicking around the app and noticed a section for “control groups” which said that you can connect lights with Sense+ switches together. I looked it up and for the price I decided to try it out, and honestly this switch has been a fantastic addition to my lighting system because it allows me to be more hands-free but still get what I want. First things first: Installation? What installation? The back of the switch holder comes with double-sided tape or two strong magnetic pads for a renter-friendly option, and the switch connects to the app very easily by scanning a little QR code on the back of it. Once you select which devices you want to connect the switch to, you get a quick tutorial on the basic functions and from there you get to customize what the side buttons do and you’re done. Two features I have really been enjoying are the motion and daylight sensors. The motion sensor has changed my morning routine – I can walk into my kitchen in the very early morning when it is still dark in my home and get a gentle, sunrise-y glow going while I am making my coffee without having to even care about where my phone is or press any buttons, it really helps me wake up in the morning. The daylight feature plays into this routine perfectly, because I don’t even have to think about turning my lights off to conserve energy during the day and turning everything back on at night, I just go about my day and Nanoleaf does the thinking for me. If you have a few Nanoleaf products in your home, I highly recommend purchasing the Sense+ switch. Such a little device makes such a big impact in allowing you to think less and do more!

Lacking compatibility, high hopes, bad results
I was hopeful for this switch to work with my other devices given its design, which is one of the only wireless motion sensor switches available out there. Out of the box it gave me problems even pairing directly in the Nanoleaf app, telling me to factory reset the switch and that maximum pairings have been reached, even though it’s never been paired with anything else before. After I waited several hours it finally decided to pair in the app, but at that point just sat there with no purpose since there’s no easy way to integrate it into other smart home systems, in my case home assistant. I was hoping to use this to control some lighting in my home, but instead I have no use for this since it lacks compatibility. The only reason I gave more than one star is the ease of installation and the amount of options you have in that regard, and it’s sized like a regular switch which is aesthetically pleasing. But if you plan on controlling non-nanoleaf devices, seek other options.

Sense+ Smart Light Switch for Nanoleaf Smart Lights
I understand this product is currently in “matter early access”. As such, when connected to Apple Home, only two buttons can be configured (the two side buttons). Additionally, even through the nanoleaf app, you cannot assign lights to the buttons, rather you assign a group to the button (rather counter-intuative). That said, I do hope that, once this product exits matter early access, all buttons will be configurable through the home app, otherwise, this product *is* locked to the nanoleaf app thus defeating the purpose of implemening Matter. If nanoleaf is truly embracing Matter, consumers should not need the nanoleaf app at all.10/28/2025 edit: The magnets on the switches are not very strong. If you use your hand to locate switch (in a dark room), you can very easily knock the switch out of wall panel. The plastic seems strong tho but I can’t say how the devices handles impacts (a 3foot drop onto a cement floor). I do hope the magnet is addressed in the future.

For the hands free type of guy
I have this paired with my floor lamp and when I walk into my room the lamp automatically lights up, but if the room is already bright then the lamp won’t turn on. Always great when you feel like Tony Stark for a second.The remote plate uses double sided tape, there are screw holes if you want to screw. The remote uses magnets to stick to the plate. Very simple, no drilling necessary. There are settings in the app to modify what each button does, and if you want the motion sensor on or not.The potential this little thing can bring… I need to buy more lights

Does the job good !
