I really don’t see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don’t want to think about it.

Nanoleaf bulbs are great and their Essentials line work offline without an account.
I wouldn’t say they’re great; they’re adequate. There’s a lot of issues with the bulb firmware that still needs ironing out both with stability and feature set.
What features are you missing?
Basic features like turning a bulb on with a set brightness or color (if you’re lucky, you can turn on with a set brightness). No support for scenes (due to matter spec) which can lead to issues sending commands to light groups. And if you want to actually update bulbs good luck because it’s buggy as hell.
Mine always turn on to the last color and brightness that they were previously. Does it work differently for you?
Sure, but if I tell a bulb to turn on at a different color and brightness, it should be able to do that. Nanoleaf cannot.
That must be an issue with your Home Assistant automation, it’s not a limitation of Nanoleaf. It works for me on the Nanoleaf app and Google Home. However I still need to get the SkyConnect in order to test it in Home Assistant.
