Big Ass Fans\u00ae<\/sup> joins several of the world\u2019s top technology companies today in launching Thread, a revolutionary way to connect hundreds of smart home devices.<\/p>\n Big Ass Fans teams with industry leaders Nest Labs, Samsung, Yale Security, ARM, Freescale Semiconductor and Silicon Labs in the nonprofit Thread Group, which aims to make Thread the foundation for the Internet of Things in the home.<\/p>\n With Thread, consumers can easily and securely connect more than 250 devices. Thread\u2019s reliable network offers no single point of failure and features secure, banking-class encryption. Thread devices, which will debut next year, will be simple to install with a smartphone, tablet or computer. The Thread protocol is also low-power, so devices that people use every day won\u2019t require constant charging or frequent battery changes.<\/p>\n Big Ass Fans is actively involved in the shift to smarter homes. This year, the company debuted the world\u2019s first smart ceiling fan \u2014 Haiku\u00ae with SenseME\u2122 Technology. SenseME detects changes in temperature and humidity and automatically adjusts Haiku\u2019s speed. Because ceiling fans create a cooling effect, Haiku with SenseME keeps residents comfortable even at elevated temperatures. Residents can raise their thermostat setpoints and save up to 30 percent on air conditioning costs without sacrificing comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Big Ass Fans\u00ae joins several of the world\u2019s top technology companies today in launching Thread, a revolutionary way to connect hundreds of smart home devices.
