a light module that lets you connect your Nanoleaf Shapes to the Hue app You'll be able to integrate Nanoleaf lights into your Hue schedules and automations It's not Matter-over-Thread, but you might be able to use a Hue Bridge for third-party connectivity Were just one week from IFA 2026, and we already have our ears to the ground for all the pre-event announcements and rumors and this latest Philips Hue leak is bound to make Nanoleaf users very happy.

As spotted by the outlet Smartlights , Philips is reportedly launching the
Hue Wall Light Module next week, meaning that users will be able to integrate their Nanoleaf lights into the Philips Hue ecosystem which would be a huge win, especially since Nanoleaf is an affordable alternative to the Philips
Hue range of best smart lights . The Hue Wall Light Module is said to support the Nanoleaf Shapes LED panels, including Mini Triangles, Triangles, and Hexagons, while older panels (formerly known as Aurora) wont be supported. Philips new module is also expected to be announced on September 3, and will go on sale for 39.99 euros, with international prices expected to follow.

Essentially, the rumored Hue module is a small white adapter around 8cm that you can plug directly into the connectors in your Nanoleaf panels, allowing you to integrate up to 100 Nanoleaf Shapes panels into your Hue system. That said, the Hue Wall Light Module shouldnt be confused with the existing
Philips Hue Wall Switch Module, which is installed behind a standard wall switch.

Once your Nanoleaf panels are connected via Philips new module, youll be able to include them in automations, Hue scenes, and schedules in the Hue app but whether Nanoleafs flagship lighting tools will be carried over is unclear.

the Nanoleaf integration working primarily with Hue scenes and effects. The leak shows at least five points in the color selection wheel, suggesting that therell be some kind of multicolor control function regardless, but well have to see how this will work after the launch.

The other catch is that the Philips Hue Wall Light Module isnt Matter-over-Thread, which, considering Nanoleafs devices are mainly Thread- and Matter-supported, is a bit of a departure. Instead, the module uses
Zigbee and Bluetooth, the main connectivity protocols Philips has used for some time.

That said, using a Hue Bridge allows you to connect Philips Hue devices that are non-Matter to hubs such as the Apple HomePod, which is helpful if you use the best smart speakers to control your home lighting system though well
have to wait and see how the new Philips Hue module handles third-party connectivity once its launched.

Despite these gray areas, the Nanoleaf-Hue integration is an unexpected yet possibly beneficial upgrade. When it comes to smart lighting brands, their respective devices tend to keep you locked into one ecosystem or the other,
so having a simple but effective connectivity tool would give users much more flexibility. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds. Our top picks, based on real-world testing and comparisons Our top picks, based on
