Philips Hue is integrating Nanoleaf's smart wall panels into its ecosystem through a new $40 module. The partnership lets users control Nanoleaf Hexagon, Triangle, and Mini Triangle panels via the Hue app.

The integration launches today, September 3rd, eliminating the need for separate control apps. Users can manage Nanoleaf panels alongside existing Hue lights, automations, and scenes. The $40 module acts as a bridge between Nanoleaf hardware and Philips Hue's ecosystem. This marks a significant shift—Philips Hue has historically developed proprietary lighting products rather than partnering with competitors. Nanoleaf pioneered the modular wall panel category and maintains a popular product line. The collaboration suggests both companies prioritize ecosystem compatibility over exclusivity. Users with existing Nanoleaf panels can upgrade to Hue integration without replacing hardware. The move expands Hue's wall lighting options without internal development, while giving Nanoleaf access to Hue's established user base and app infrastructure. Pricing and regional availability details remain limited.
