⚠ Similar names, different products: ⚠ Four Big Ass Fans models now sit in this catalogue and the names differ by one word. This is the Haiku Outdoor — 52 to 84 in., $1,700.00 to $2,880.00, damp-rated for covered spaces. It is NOT the indoor Haiku ("big-ass-fans-haiku-ceiling-fan", $1,550), NOT the low-profile Haiku L ("big-ass-fans-haiku-l", $849.00 to $999.00) and NOT the i6 ("big-ass-fans-i6", $2,100 to $3,560). ⚠ The compatibility difference between them is REAL and is the reason this warning matters: this page names four ecosystems outright, while the i6's and the Haiku L's pages name none at all.

“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | Named by Big Ass Fans in one sentence — 'Works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Ecobee.' — so the route the vendor claims into Apple Home is Matter rather than a HomeKit-native integration. ⚠ Recorded as a documented vendor claim, not a verified certification: no CSA certificate for this model was located in this pass, and a constructed CSA product URL for the sibling i6 returned 404, which is not evidence either way. A Matter route also needs a controller the buyer supplies (a HomePod, Apple TV or equivalent), which the page does not mention. |
| Amazon Alexa | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | Named in the same vendor sentence. Platform stated; the feature depth that crosses over is not enumerated, so this records a documented path rather than a certified capability set. |
| Google Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | Named in the same vendor sentence as 'Google Home'. Same limit: named, not enumerated. |
| SmartThings | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1] | Not established. SmartThings is not in the vendor's four-name list and appears nowhere else on the page. ⚠ Deliberately NOT inferred from the Matter claim: a Matter device is reachable by Matter controllers in principle, but this catalogue records what a source states, and no source read here states SmartThings support for this model. |
| Home Assistant | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[2] | Not established for this model. Home Assistant's Big Ass Fans integration lists 'Haiku Fans with 3.0 firmware and later' and 'i6 Fans'; the Haiku Outdoor is nominally a Haiku fan, but it is never named, the firmware condition is unchecked, and no Big Ass Fans surface ties this model to that protocol. Ambiguity resolves to unknown — the same standard applied to the Haiku L in the previous batch, and the same one that filled the i6, which the integration names outright. |
? 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.

Not established — we could not confirm this from vendor documentation
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, plan or fee is named anywhere on Big Ass Fans' product page for this model. Recorded as "none" on the strength of the vendor carrying no plan.
Maintenance reality
- Works without the internet: Not established — we have not sourced this yet. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- Moves 'up to 17,369 CFM at under 35 dBA' from a 'Whisper-quiet permanent-magnet motor', in 52, 60 and 84 in. diameters. ⚠ THE RATING IS DAMP, NOT WET, and the vendor's own words draw the line: 'Damp-rated for covered patios, porches, and sunrooms with overhead protection'. That excludes an exposed deck. Mounting is downrod or flush, with downrods from 7 in. to 60 in. depending on ceiling height. LED lighting is optional rather than included. ⚠ No warranty term is printed on the page — it links to a document instead.
- 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
Read the rating before the price. 'Damp-rated for covered patios, porches, and sunrooms with overhead protection' is Big Ass Fans' own wording, and it means this fan is for a roofed space — an open deck is outside what the vendor rates it for. ⊕ On compatibility this page is unusually straight for the brand: 'Works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Ecobee', with control by app, voice, a Bluetooth wall control and a handheld remote. ⚠ Two limits on that sentence, though. The Apple route is Matter, which needs a Matter controller you supply and which the page never mentions; and SmartThings is not on the vendor's list, so it stays unknown here rather than being inferred from the word Matter. ⚠ Also worth knowing: LED lighting is optional rather than included, and the page prints no warranty term — it links to a document.
Who it's for
A covered porch, patio or sunroom in a household on Apple Home, Alexa or Google, wanting a large, quiet fan and willing to pay from $1,700. The Matter route makes it one of the few fans in this catalogue with a vendor-stated path into Apple Home. It is the wrong buy for an exposed deck — the vendor rates it damp, not wet — and an uncertain one for SmartThings or Home Assistant households, where nothing is documented for this specific model.

- [4] Big Ass Fans' own Haiku technical specification sheet (HKU-MKTG-222-ENG-01 REV. N, 05/22/26), read 2026-08-21 as a PDF. It covers this model rather than only the indoor sibling, and that was checked rather than assumed: its fan-specification table enumerates 'Covered Damp' rows for the 52, 60 and 84 in. diameters, and the 84 in. Covered Damp row reads '17,369' CFM — the exact airflow figure this record's product page leads with. Verbatim from the Construction Features table — Controls: 'Bluetooth remote / Big Ass Fans mobile app / Voice control / 0-10 V (optional)'; Integrations: 'Voice control with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa' and 'Apple Homekit with Matter'; Onboard Sensors: 'Temperature and motion sensors enable SenseME Technology'. Key features, verbatim: 'Superior airflow control with bluetooth remote, seven speed settings, mobile app, and more'. Footnote: 'Voice control requires an Amazon Alexa-enabled device or the Google Assistant.' Read against the product page's own sentence at https://bigassfans.com/haiku-outdoor-ceiling-fan/ — 'Works with Apple HomeKit (Matter), Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Ecobee. Control via app, voice, Bluetooth wall control, or handheld remote.' ⊕ Second, differently-constructed check behind the Apple limit recorded in perIntegrationLimits: the CSA's certified-products listing at https://csa-iot.org/csa-iot_products/ was queried on 2026-08-21 twice — once by the keyword 'big ass fans' and once by its Big Ass Fans company filter — and both queries return exactly two entries, both titled 'es6' (Certificate IDs CSA25176MAT45256-24 and FAM226154). No Haiku, Haiku Outdoor, Haiku L or i6 entry appears in either result. — vendor-page research (BQ-187 capabilities population, batch 15b), verified 2026-08-21Backs: Capabilities
