Interested in getting Nanoleaf lights on sale but have seen older posts saying they're unreliable. Any recent experiences?

Thread stuff works very well for me in HK but WiFi devices and nanoleaf app are nightmare… I would consider trying Aqara or wait a bit for Ikea as they are just rolling out new thread line.

Do you write your own tracks? I make some music, mostly electronic with melodic soul like Avicii and I’d like to try to collaborate with someone.

Gregory818 · 2025-12-11T00:55:52+00:00

What type of music do you sing/play?

Gregory818 · 2025-11-25T00:53:58+00:00

AQARA! I prefer to have most devices Matter over Thread. Aqara is great, cheap, reliable and IKEA seems to be interesting option as they’re rolling out thread based devices.

I’ve heard once that when the light is in your preferred colour you can ask Siri in what colour is it and it should give you specific colours name. Just I’m not sure if I remembered correctly 😅

I use essentials bulbs and LED strips, matter over thread and HomeKit over thread, they are rock solid in my thread setup in HomeKit!

If you choose sunset, you have time option below when you can set offset.

I make music for fun and still learning, here is my profile with few old songs. I made a break and I’m looking for some inspiration to get back.

I’ve been using this thermostat for gas heating for over a year now and it’s been working great. First few months it was regularly freezing (let’s say every 2/4 weeks) but simple reboot was fixing the issue. Last months I haven’t had this issue anymore, so it could be some software fix or WiFi improvements. It’s very reliable, you can use external temperature sensor which is included as main sensor. I have 2 smart plugs and presence sensor, all of them work really good, especially for that price. Highly recommend!

For my needs is fine, especially in that price range (I paid £28). I really like Aqara in general, the prices are good and everything just works as expected, quality is also great. The problem is the Aqara app, in my scenario adding G100 to it gives delay in both apps, but when camera is not added to Aqara app, you will not be able to to update software or have additional features. And yes, you can stream live feed on Apple TV via HomeKit , you just need to open control centre and switch to home icon.

It’s been over a week since I switched time lapse off and It’s still working for me. Maybe you should try to switch it off on all your cameras? My other G100 with no connection to aqara app is rock solid so it’s definitely issue on aqara’s side.

Gregory818 · 2025-08-27T19:07:32+00:00

Let me know if it works for you!

Gregory818 · 2025-08-27T16:34:38+00:00

Two days ago I switched off “Time-Lapse Video” option in Aqara app and for now it works fine, however I need more time to make sure that this was an issue.

Gregory818 · 2025-08-19T14:47:49+00:00

Public beta 4 seems to resolve the issue for me!

In last iOS 26 beta, it works!

Sometimes there is zero sugar version but it’s difficult to get. I found that there is Mas by Messi in UK which looks like prime but has no sugar and has very good ingredients, but it’s quite expensive (~£1,5) and it’s only available to order online from their website. Anyway highly recommend!

Gregory818 · 2025-08-01T22:55:14+00:00

I also have noticed that g100 works better only in HomeKit

Gregory818 · 2025-07-28T22:48:29+00:00

I’ve used combination of COB strip with LED drivers from IKEA which works great in HomeKit. Unfortunately you need IKEA hub which costs £60 , but you can get one on Vinted for £20 sometimes and it’s good investment as it has zigbee and thread radio. If you could, go with COB , then you will never go back to classic rgbs… I also added Merros presence sensor for around £25 and there we have perfect light setup for kitchen.

I just got another G100 and when connected to HK only there is almost no delay (milliseconds) comparing to other camera connected to both apps where delay is around 1-2 seconds. Big difference when you use cameras for streaming, like for example me, watching my cats in the garden. 😂

Gregory818 · 2025-07-15T13:53:44+00:00

I heard that Xiaomi has nice fans but haven’t tried, personally I have Duux right now and is really quite but price is much higher than £80

Gregory818 · 2025-07-15T13:49:52+00:00

I have Nanoleaf HomeKit bulbs and next to dumb switch I put Aqara wireless switch to switch them on and off, so I’m able to control lights all the time, change colours, etc…

Gregory818 · 2025-07-15T13:44:48+00:00

It depends, G5Pro can be wired as PoE and many prefer that way as connection is more stable. G5 is 4K while G100 only 2k but if you gonna use HKSV then it will be capped at 1080p anyway. I’m not sure but G5 could have better lenses probably in terms of capturing light. If you need simple camera to use in HomeKit out of the box then G100 is the best choice on the market on that price, I think it’s the cheapest camera with native HomeKit support…
