After being certified by Matter, Nanoleaf has officially released it's Matter Smart Holiday String Lights via the Nanoleaf Store.

Nanoleaf smart holiday string lights

The lights include 250 individually addressable LEDs and is 20m total length (two strings of 10m each). They can be controlled via the attached controller, or via the smart home application of your choice, due to it's compatibility with Matter. 

It includes an IP44 rating, which should protect it against light rain. However, it's operating temperature is 0-40° celcius, which makes me wonder how these will fare when the temperature dips below freezing.

Since the lights have a range of 16 million colors in addition to a color temperature ranging from 2700K to 6500K, you should be able to leave these up year-round and adjust them to the changing holidays (red for Valentine's day, green for Saint Patrick's day, etc). 

Another neat feature is the ability for the lights to react to music. They will move and dance along with the beat via the available controller. 

We've seen these in other light strings, such as Twinkly, but the Nanoleaf Holiday String Lights are coming in at a much lower range at $119 USD.
