Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · Big Ass Fans · Indoor Air & Comfort · ~$1550 (Recorded as the LIST price, not the sale price, and the distinction is deliberate — and now demonstrated. Big Ass Fans' own product page showed $1,317.50–$2,320.50 marked '15% off' against a list range of $1,550.00–$2,730.00 on 2026-08-02, and shows exactly the same two ranges on 2026-09-20. What changed is only the footnote's dates: on 2026-08-02 the promotion ran 'between 07/28/26 to 08/03/26', and on 2026-09-20 it runs 'between 09/18/26 to 09/25/26'. Same discount, same figures, a new week-long window — which is what a standing promotion dressed as a deadline looks like, and why the durable list figure is what priceUSD carries: $1,550.00 for the entry configuration, rising to $2,730.00 for the largest. This is a configurable product rather than a single SKU — airfoil finish, hardware finish, diameter (52, 60 or 84 inches), downrod or flush mount, and no light or downlight all move the figure. ⚠ AND ONE FIRST-PARTY DISCREPANCY RECORDED RATHER THAN SMOOTHED OVER: the vendor's own fans listing page showed this product's range as $1,317.50–$2,193.00 (from $1,550.00–$2,580.00) on 2026-08-02, the same day the product page showed $1,317.50–$2,320.50 (from $1,550.00–$2,730.00). Same vendor, same day, two different top-end figures. The product page's range is recorded, because it is the page with the configurator that produces the price. On 2026-10-01 the product page showed the list range alone, $1,550.00–$2,730.00, with no promotion.)
Compatibility at a glance
Does it work with your platform?
Choose your platform to see its setup and functions. Your choice carries across product pages.
Choose a platform above for its connection. A hub can be optional for the device itself and required for a platform or automation.
No hub is named by the vendor. Big Ass Fans lists the control routes as 'app, voice, Bluetooth wall control, or handheld remote', and Home Assistant's official integration for these fans connects locally over the network — so the fan is reachable on your own LAN without a bridge. The Apple route the vendor advertises is Matter ('Apple HomeKit (Matter)'), and on Apple Home an iPhone on iOS 18 or later can add and control it over Matter without a home hub, and a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV is still needed to control it away from home, run automations and share control.[1][4][21][29][45][46][47]

The most fully evidenced platform on this page, and it comes entirely from the Home Assistant side — Big Ass Fans names Home Assistant nowhere. Home Assistant ships an official Big Ass Fans integration that talks to the fan on your own network with no company servers in the path, and is told about changes rather than having to ask. Its documented device list covers 'Haiku Fans (3.0 firmware and later)', 'Discontinued Haiku Lights (3.0 firmware and later)' and 'i6 Fans'. TWO CAVEATS RECORDED BECAUSE THEY BITE. First, the firmware floor is real: Home Assistant states that 'Legacy SenseME firmware' is NOT supported, so a Haiku bought years ago and never updated is outside this entirely — which matters far more for a second-hand or already-installed fan than for a new one. Second, some Auto Comfort features need firmware 3.1 or later, and Home Assistant notes that climate and temperature sensors 'may become unavailable when fans disconnect from their remotes, though the fan itself remains operational'. We call it full on the strength of an official, local, named-product integration, with those limits stated plainly.[4][6][23][31][36][40]

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription. No plan, tier or paywall was found gating any advertised function, and the SenseMe automation the fan is sold on — 'Set your preferences once in the app' — is described without a fee. There is no consumable. Recorded as an absence rather than a positive 'none': Big Ass Fans makes no written 'no fees' commitment, it simply never mentions a charge.
Works without the internet: Inconclusive — we read the vendor's own material and it does not answer this either way. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
A ceiling fan is a mains-wired fixture. Big Ass Fans' specification sheet gives a 100–240 VAC supply and a ceiling mount carrying up to 26 lb on the 84-inch version, so fitting it is overhead wiring work on a mount that has to carry a moving load. We could not read Big Ass Fans' installation guide, so whether the maker asks for an electrician is not established; its product page offers professional installation as a service. Big Ass Fans publishes the engineering specifics and they are unusually concrete for this category: up to 17,369 CFM, 'under 35 dBA at max speed', a brushless DC/EC motor drawing 'as little as 2.4W at low speed', and three precision-matched airfoils in aluminium or Moso bamboo that the company says are 'balanced and tested at our facility'. The specification sheet's own table puts the 84-inch indoor fan with aluminium airfoils at 17,031 CFM and gives 17,369 CFM for the covered-outdoor version, so the headline figure is the outdoor one. Diameters are 52, 60 and 84 inches, matched by the vendor to rooms of up to 225, 400 and 900 square feet respectively, with a 12-inch downrod included. The specification sheet gives the warranty as up to 5 years indoors and says the period and terms vary by country. The automation feature is SenseMe: 'Built-in temperature and motion sensors respond to conditions and occupancy. Set your preferences once in the app — SenseMe keeps your space comfortable without you touching a control.'
Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether Big Ass Fans publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
Start with what is genuinely unusual here: the option that runs on your own network is also the one documented most fully, and the maker never mentions it. Home Assistant ships an official Big Ass Fans integration that runs entirely on your own network with no company servers involved, and it names Haiku fans directly. The catch is a firmware floor — 'Legacy SenseME firmware' is unsupported — so an older Haiku may be excluded, and the same caution is worth applying to Matter on a used unit. ⚠ Apple Home is certified on the fan's side and unlisted on Apple's. Big Ass Fans states 'Works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Ecobee', and the official Matter register lists 'Haiku H/I Series' as certified under family certificate FAM226154, device type Fan, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But Apple's own list of the Matter accessories the Home app supports does not include fans, so Apple does not say the Home app will run it, and Apple Home reads partial here. ⚠ One thing to know if you ever go looking for that certificate yourself: the certification website titles all eight of this company's certificate pages 'es6', so when we searched the certification body's list for 'Haiku' in August 2026, it returned nothing — only the underlying register names the models. ⚠ The price moves with promotions. On two reads, in August and September 2026, the page showed 15% off — $1,317.50–$2,320.50 against a $1,550.00–$2,730.00 list — each time with a one-week deadline, and on 1 October 2026 it showed the list range alone, which is why we carry the list price. The maker's listing page and product page also disagreed about the top of the range on the same day ($2,193.00 versus $2,320.50), which we record rather than tidy away. Finally: this is a hardwired ceiling fixture up to 84 inches across, not a plug-in gadget — plan for overhead wiring work. What it does is specified far better than its compatibility ever was: up to 17,369 CFM, under 35 dBA at full speed, 2.4W at low, with built-in temperature and motion sensors that run SenseMe automations without an app open.
Who it's for
A serious ceiling fan for almost any smart home, and — unusually — the local-first option is also the most fully documented one. Home Assistant households get an official Big Ass Fans integration: entirely on your own network, no company servers, Haiku fans named directly, with the caveat that older SenseME firmware is excluded outright. Apple Home households should read the Apple note first: the Haiku is Matter-certified under Big Ass Fans' family certificate, but Apple's own list of supported Matter accessories leaves fans out, so what the Home app does with this fan is not something Apple states, and the SenseMe sensor automations stay inside the maker's own system either way. It suits anyone who wants a fan that runs itself — the built-in temperature and motion sensors drive SenseMe with no app in the loop — and the engineering justifies the price if airflow and silence matter: 17,369 CFM at under 35 dBA is specified, not implied. Treat any advertised discount as temporary, and plan for hardwired overhead work carrying a moving load.
