Seems like a good deal, although they don't seem to be getting good reviews. 🤔

I picked these up over the weekend. Connection issues that the reviews complain about are true. Took me a bit to get it working. Forced the lights to 2.4GHz and then it worked well.

Seems like a pretty easy fix. What do you think of the quality and effects after you got it connected?

I also connected it to my Google Hub via Matter which seems to have helped the connection significantly.

Quality of the lights and the effects look great. I like how it transitions between colors. I haven't had a chance to test it with any sound integrations (Spotify). It's not built directly into the app and requires a 3rd party integration.

I actually used these string lights for my banister instead of a tree. One thing I didn't realize is that the system is split into a Y. One fork for the top of the tree and one fork for the bottom - so it's not one *long* string light. And each fork has a dedicated wire to the base. Not necessarily bad - just not something I considered when I bought it.

Ya I noticed the y split too, which makes sense for the tree, but how did you manage it with the banister? I was thinking if doing the same, but unsure how to hide the remote unless I stuff it inside a garland or something...

It's not my best work - I set it up really late last night after receiving it. Will need to clean it up today after work before the wife notices! Garland is great idea tho!

Super, super happy with these at $45. Unbox 'em and update the FW immediately from 1.0.0 to 1.2.2 and you'll see a ton of the issues that Best Buy reviewers complained about disappear.

I'm using them in a Google Home ecosystem, with a Nest Hub acting as my Matter border router. I first added the strings to Google Home via Matter (nice little pop-up on my phone when I plugged them in prompting me to add them), then I downloaded the Nanoleaf app and added them in there. I had no issues adding in Google Home (via Matter) or in the Nanoleaf app.

Once they were updated to 1.2.2, everything was fine. I did notice before the update that they were a little slow to respond to commands, wouldn't respond to the "Identify" command in the Nanoleaf app, etc. - so I can see how people would've described them as glitchy w/o updating FW.

I think a lot of Best Buy customers probably bought these either before the new FW was available, or didn't bother updating. They also may have paid full price, which - with those two factors combined - definitely explain why they'd want to dump some very harsh reviews on these.

Running the recent FW, and for only $45? I don't have one, single complaint. Great deal on some beautiful lights with amazing colors and effects.
