Has any one had any experience with Nanoleaf lighting products and HomeKit?

Hi,

Looking for some smart bulbs and came across the Nanoleaf range which doesn't require a bridge and has thread which, if one has an iPod mini, speeds things up. I think it is called the essential bulb, though the one I bought had the wrong fitting.. so I've not been able to set anything up yet.

What are peoples thought? Any better suggestions that don't break the bank? the appeal of this one was the price and lack of extra hardware. Each bulb is about £18 which I think is fair.
