What really impressed me was the sheer number of applications you can control the lights from. I have Amazon Alexa set up throughout my place, and I also use Google Home and Apple Home for other devices. Any and all of these can tap into the Nanoleaf and adjust it accordingly. Truly what elevated it was the inclusion of iCUE from Corsair. About 90% of my components are lit up via iCUE software, so adding the Nanoleaf into the mix was seamless! The panels can be controlled by Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT, Nanoleaf Remote, SmartThings, and Razer Chroma. The assortment of choices for connecting with the Nanoleaf Shapes and Lines was really fantastic as I can vary how I want to go about in controlling a more complicated setup.
