PAIRING WITH DESKTOPUpdated 4 months ago


Minimum technical requirements: Windows 10 or macOS 12.  

If you are using an Essentials product, you will require a Thread Border Router (like Nanoleaf panels or Apple HomePod mini) to work with the Desktop App.




1 - Download the Desktop App. First, download the app for your computer by selecting the version for your operating system here: Nanoleaf Desktop App.

2 -  Power On Your Nanoleaf. Make sure your Nanoleaf is turned on. The LED on the controller or control square should be solid white, indicating it's ready to pair.

💡Your computer must be connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

3 -  Open the Desktop App. In the app, click the gear icon (bottom left of the screen), then the green plus button (bottom right).

4 - Add Your Nanoleaf. From the drop-down menu, select 'Add Devices' and click 'Add Device'. Your Nanoleaf should appear as an available device. 

5 - Pair Your Nanoleaf . Select your Nanoleaf, then click 'ADD' (bottom right). The panels will flash green, and the LED will turn off, indicating a successful pairing. 

💡| When prompted, enter the pairing code found on your Nanoleaf controller. 

6 - Assign to a Room. You can now add the device to a specific room or leave it unassigned. 


You're all set! Your Nanoleaf is now paired and ready to use.
