![]() ![]() I used a dimmer switch specifically as the light on the Haiku allows several different levels of brightness. It can be WiFi, Z-Wave, ZigBee, etc it doesn't matter specifically what brand (odds are, it'll be compatible ( here's the official list)), but you'll need a switch that allows you to control it via the computer or your phone. The first thing you'll need is a smart switch. More specifically, I really just needed to control the light on the fan, so this tutorial is going to go over how to control the light from the fan via the switch. In this case, I leveraged an open source project called Home Assistant and a Leviton Z-Wave switch to do the magic of controlling the fan like any other fan you'd buy at a big box store. I design everything to be used as if my grandparent is over and they have no idea what the heck is going on. I am a "big fan" of having a smart home, but I want it to be super intuitive to the end user. I personally find the remote a hassle since I have a small little corridor into one room, so when it's darker in the evenings, you grab the remote on the wall, walk through this dark area, and then aim the remote somewhere at the ceiling to turn it on (this is if you don't forget the remote in the room from before). Since the remote is there, they go, how do I turn the lights on to this room? Unfortunately, there isn't a good answer here other than to put a plate on the wall and force your guests to check out the remote. In many commercial settings, fans you typically set once and let em' rip, but with the residential play, you have grandparents, guests, friends, etc. Both the remote and even the mobile app, work incredibly well and are extremely responsive, but the only tricky thing about the fan is in a residential setting, many folks have light/fan combos in their bedrooms, offices, and living rooms and if a guest walks into the room and flips the light switch, they are flipping power to the whole fan/light. One thing that's really interesting, is when you hook up the fan, to me, it's designed more like their commercial units where it needs to be constantly powered on from there you remotely control the fan either by remote or their smart phone application. One of my biggest "beefs" with today's companies is they try to make things really proprietary and crappy, so seeing the company that takes pride in their product and allowing others to integrate into it remotely without internet is super "cool" □ You spin me right round The fan itself is smart. Their fans look incredibly modern, operate almost completely silent, have a "SenseMe" feature that figures out when people are in the room to automatically do stuff, and they have an API that you can integrate into locally on the fan via WiFi (lose internet, no problem, you can still control your fan!). They are called Big Ass Fans.įor quite some time I've been eyeing their Haiku fan, which is their residential ceiling fan. The company prides themselves on solid engineering and building a solid product for their customers. Don't be fooled, these blades are no helicopter blade, they are years of engineered excellence in the makings. You believe firmly that your judgment is preeminent over all others.In the background of many commercial buildings, silently lurking and judging us from above, lies what looks like possibly a recycled helicopter blade. You have the courage and the confidence to lead others. Whether it is in business, community, or in your general area of expertise, you are driven to be the reigning figure. Your dream is to become the leader of whatever field you enter. ![]() “Your overpowering need is to be independent and to direct your own life according to what you believe.
