Philips Hue and Nanoleaf could soon reveal an unlikely tie-in — leaked adapter promises to bring Nanoleaf LED modules to your Hue app

A new Philips Hue module could let you connect your Nanoleaf lights to the Hue app.

Philips Hue and Nanoleaf could soon reveal an unlikely tie-in — leaked adapter promises to bring Nanoleaf LED modules to your Hue app

Philips Hue may soon introduce a light module that allows users to connect their Nanoleaf Shapes to the Hue app, enabling integration with Hue schedules and automations. This adapter, rumored to be unveiled next week at IFA 2026, is expected to support Nanoleaf Shapes LED panels, such as Mini Triangles, Triangles, and Hexagons, and could potentially include older panels.

The module, approximately 8cm in size, would plug directly into the connectors in Nanoleaf panels, allowing up to 100 Nanoleaf Shapes panels to be integrated into the Hue system. Despite not being Matter-over-Thread, the module uses Zigbee and Bluetooth, similar to Philips Hue's existing connectivity protocols. Integration with Nanoleaf's customizable color scenes and animations is possible, though the specifics of multicolor control remain unclear.

The Philips Hue Wall Light Module is set to launch for 39.99 euros, and while the integration offers new flexibility, it also presents potential limitations due to its use of different connectivity protocols.
