Each hexagonal panel houses individually addressable RGB LEDs with 1200K-6500K tunable whites, enabling gradients across the entire layout via the Nanoleaf app. The rhythm module plugs into the layout to react to music and sounds in the room, creating audio-reactive light shows. Shapes panels are compatible with Nanoleaf Triangles and Mini Triangles via Linker accessories, enabling mixed-shape installations. Matter over Thread support, introduced via firmware update, makes Shapes compatible with all major smart home ecosystems simultaneously. Up to 500 panels can chain from a single power supply outlet.
