Big Ass Fans Haiku Ceiling Fan

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. Big Ass Fans' own product page on 2026-08-02 showed $1,317.50–$2,320.50 marked '15% off' against a list range of $1,550.00–$2,730.00 — and the site's own footnote dates that promotion precisely: 'This promotion is valid for U.S. residential consumer orders placed directly with Big Ass Fans between 07/28/26 to 08/03/26.' A price that expires the day after this record was written is not the price a reader will find, so 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) 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.)

Compatibility

? 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.

Protocols: WIFI · BLUETOOTH · MATTER^{[1][2][4][7][8]}

Needs before it works: 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 open question is the Matter route: the vendor advertises 'Apple HomeKit (Matter)', and Matter always requires a controller in the home (an Apple TV or HomePod for an Apple household). Because no Matter certificate could be found under this product's name, this record cannot tell you whether that route is native to the fan, arrives by firmware, or runs through something else — see the Apple cell, where the gap is set out in full.^[1][3]

What it can do^[1][3]

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.

Subscription reality^[1]

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.

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.

Maintenance reality^[1][3]

• Batteries: None — hardwired to mains
• Works without the internet: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network. A vendor cloud may still be involved in remote access.^[6]
• A ceiling fan is a mains-wired fixture, which is why this is recorded as pro-recommended rather than DIY: it is overhead electrical work on a mount that has to carry a moving load, and the 84-inch version is a substantial object. 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'. Diameters are 52, 60 and 84 inches, matched by the vendor to rooms of up to 225, 400 and larger square footage respectively, with a 12-inch downrod included on the two smaller sizes. 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.' cloudDependent is recorded false on the strength of Home Assistant's integration, which is documented as Local Push — the fan can be controlled on your own network without the vendor's servers in the path.
• 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

🔴 This page told buyers for three weeks that no Matter certificate existed for this fan. It does, and it was issued in March 2024 — corrected 2026-08-22. Big Ass Fans states 'Works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Ecobee', and the Matter ledger backs it: 'Haiku H/I Series' is certified under family certificate FAM226154, device type Fan, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. ⚠ Why we got it wrong is worth knowing if you ever check a certificate yourself: the CSA website titles all eight of this company's certificate pages 'es6', so searching it for 'Haiku' returns nothing however healthy the site is. Only the ledger names the models. The Apple Home claim is now verified rather than unverified, and you do not need to ask their sales team to name the certificate. ⊕ The genuinely good news is unchanged and still the reverse of the usual ranking here: Home Assistant is the most fully documented platform on this fan and the one the vendor never mentions — the official baf integration is Local Push, no cloud, and names Haiku fans explicitly. The catch there 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. ⚠ The price you see is probably not the price. The page showed 15% off — $1,317.50–$2,320.50 against a $1,550.00–$2,730.00 list — with the site's own footnote dating that promotion '07/28/26 to 08/03/26', which is why this record carries list. The vendor'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), recorded rather than tidied away. Finally: this is a hardwired ceiling fixture up to 84 inches across, not a plug-in gadget — budget for an electrician. 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 with no 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 the official baf integration: local push, no cloud, Haiku fans named directly, with the caveat that legacy SenseME firmware is excluded outright. Apple Home households can now buy it on verified evidence rather than a vendor promise: the Haiku is Matter-certified under Big Ass Fans' family certificate, so HomeKit control of on/off and speed is real, while the SenseMe sensor automations stay vendor-side. It suits anyone who wants a fan that runs itself — the built-in temperature and motion sensors drive SenseMe without an 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 the advertised discount as temporary, and budget for an electrician: this is hardwired overhead work carrying a moving load.
