Big Ass Fans i6 Ceiling Fan

Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · Big Ass Fans · Indoor Air & Comfort · ~$2100 (at time of research — Big Ass Fans' own product page shows a range of '$2,100.00 - $3,560.00', read 2026-08-18, spanning four diameters and the configuration options. "priceUSD" records the low end of the vendor's own range; the ceiling is nearly $1,500 higher, so treat the number as an entry point rather than a price. Never treated as a live price.)

⚠ Similar names, different products: ⚠ Big Ass Fans sells several similarly-named residential fans and this catalogue now holds three. This is the i6 — 60 to 96 in., $2,100.00 to $3,560.00, the industrial-silhouette model. It is NOT the Haiku ("big-ass-fans-haiku-ceiling-fan") and NOT the lower-profile, much cheaper Haiku L ("big-ass-fans-haiku-l", $849.00 to $999.00). ⊕ There is also an i6 OUTDOOR sold on its own page, which this record does not cover: this is the indoor i6.

Before you buy

What do you need to make it work?

No hub for the device alone

Choose a platform above for its connection. A hub can be optional for the device itself and required for a platform or automation.

One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.

What could you do with this?

Put its functions to use.

Research, not hands-on testing

Start with a documented control or event. The selected connection shows what is confirmed for that platform.

Setup and sources

Apple Home

On and off works in Apple Home over Matter: Big Ass Fans' specification sheet for the i6 lists Apple HomeKit with Matter, and the i6 is on the official Matter certification list as a fan. Fan mode and fan direction are missing: Apple's list of the Matter accessory types its Home app supports leaves fans out, so Apple does not say the Home app sets this fan's speed or direction. Ask Big Ass Fans what you can control from the Home app before buying for that reason. The page that sells the fan does not mention Apple Home at all.[1][8][10][11][21][24]

Fan mode automation: Apple Home lists the capabilities its automations can use over Matter, and Fan mode is not on it.

Fan direction automation: Apple Home lists the capabilities its automations can use over Matter, and Fan direction is not on it.

Google Home

Works in Google Home over Matter, except Fan direction: this model carries a Matter certificate, and Google Home controls On/off and Fan mode on Matter fans. Google's list of what Google Home supports over Matter leaves out fan direction, so Fan direction is missing in Google Home. Big Ass Fans also lists the Google Assistant for voice control without saying how it connects.[1][8][21][30][31][33][34][36]

Fan direction automation: Google Home lists the capabilities its automations can use over Matter, and Fan direction is not on it.

Alexa

Works in Alexa over Matter, except Fan direction: this model carries a Matter certificate, and Alexa controls On/off and Fan mode on Matter fans. Amazon's list of what Alexa supports over Matter leaves out fan direction, so Fan direction is missing in Alexa. Big Ass Fans also lists Amazon Alexa for voice control without saying how it connects.[1][8][21][30][31][33][34]

Fan direction automation: Amazon Alexa lists the capabilities its automations can use over Matter, and Fan direction is not on it.

SmartThings

Not established. Big Ass Fans' specification sheet for the i6 lists Alexa, the Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit with Matter, and adds only that the fan works with home automation systems. SmartThings is not named on it or on the page that sells the fan, and no Samsung page naming this fan was read. A fan that speaks Matter can in principle be added to any Matter app, but nobody has published that SmartThings shows this one.[1][8][21]

Home Assistant

Home Assistant's official Big Ass Fans integration names i6 fans and runs on your own network, with no company servers in between. Home Assistant lists it as a fan integration, which covers on/off and fan mode. It does not mention fan direction, and Big Ass Fans does not mention Home Assistant, so fan direction is unconfirmed.[2][12][25][32]

Maintenance and offline use

The catch

The page that sells this $2,100-to-$3,560 fan does not name a single smart-home system, a radio or an app. The details are on Big Ass Fans' specification sheet instead: voice control with Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit with Matter, a Bluetooth wall control, a handheld remote and the Big Ass Fans app. The sheet stops there. It does not say how the fan links to Alexa or Google. Both can control it over Matter, because the fan is Matter certified and both list Matter fans, but neither lists fan direction, so Alexa and Google Home read partial here: on/off and fan mode work, reversing the fan does not. Apple Home is partial for a different reason: the fan is Matter certified, but Apple's own list of the Matter accessory types its Home app supports does not include fans. The most fully documented route is Home Assistant, whose Big Ass Fans page names i6 fans and controls them over your own network. The light is an optional kit, so a fan ordered without it has no light to control.

Who it's for

A large room with a high ceiling, and a household that runs Home Assistant, where this fan is supported by name over the local network, or one that is happy with the remote, the wall control and the Big Ass Fans app. Sizes run 60 to 96 in. and the fan is wired to the house supply at a ceiling box rated for its weight, which is work many buyers will hand to an installer. Alexa and Google Home can run it over Matter, except for fan direction. It is a weaker fit for anyone buying it for Apple Home in particular, because Apple's list of the Matter accessories its Home app supports leaves fans out.
