Matter makes it a lot easier to mix and match products from different ecosystems. You can get 3 A19 nanoleaf RGB blubs that support Matter over Thread for the price of one Hue RGB A19. The Hue might be better but I doubt its 3 times better (I have a bunch of Hue lights and no nanoleafs yet).

I'll be moving to matter blubs (whatever brand strikes the best balance between price and quality) in the future and only using Hue bulbs when its necessary for features that aren't supported with Matter (like Hue Sync).

I just bought Nanoleaf bulbs and they just don’t get bright enough. Then I have issues where there’s always 2 or 3 bulbs out of 6 that don’t respond and they’re all next to HomePods and routers etc…I really hate that Philips went down this route because so far they definitely seem to have the better product.

BTW, the firmware update from the last week or so made a world of difference in the stability.

I do wish they were brighter.

Philips hasn’t bern involved since the spin-off in 2016, other than Signify being allowed to sell under their name.
