Setting Up on Android
TIP: Lay out the design for your Hexagons panels on the floor or table to ensure that each panel
is properly connected to a linker.
Upon opening the Nanoleaf Smarter Series App for the first time, you will be prompted to create
an account. This is used to connect to other applications like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant
and IFTTT. Check out our integrations page for more information on this.
Arrange the Hexagons panels such that each is able to connect to at least one adjacent panel. Use
the Layout Assistant to verify the layout and map out where to place your panels.
Ensure that at least one power supply is used per every 21 Hexagons. If you are setting up a
larger layout (greater than 20 Hexagons).
