If the above sequence doesn’t work, bring your fan to a complete stop and try the following:

  1. On the remote, press the following button sequence: Whoosh, Whoosh, Clear, Timer, Fan On/Off.
  2. You will hear a beep after pressing each button, indicating that the fan received the command. Note: the fan will only beep if fan beeps were not turned off.
  3. When the network reset is accepted, the fan’s blue indicator lights will form a circle. Check your mobile device’s Wi-Fi settings to make sure the fan’s network is now visible.

About Haiku C

Is the Haiku app available for both iOS and Android?

Yes. The Haiku app is available for both iOS and Android.

REQUIRED:

iOS 9.0 or later; the app is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Android 5.0 or later.

What are the clearance guidelines for my fan?

Follow these clearance guidelines when installing your fan to avoid damage to the fan or its surroundings.

I’ve lost my remote. Can I purchase another one?

Of course! You can order a new one here.

What type of ceiling outlet box should I use to hang my fan?

We recommend a standard UL-listed, fan-rated outlet box be used and installed onto a beam or joist. The outlet box should be marked acceptable for fan support. Most outlet boxes commonly used for hanging light fixtures are not rated for fan support and may need to be replaced.

Will my Haiku install in a “pancake” style junction box?

Haiku will install into any fan-rated junction box. Some customers may choose to alter their canopy cover for aesthetic fit.

I have a product that’s similar to this one, but I can’t seem to find the warranty. What should I do?

We’re here to help! Please contact Customer Service to discuss any warranty questions you might have.

Controlling Haiku C

Google Assistant: What kinds of voice commands can I use to control my Haiku products?

Big Ass Fans recommends using Google Home Room names that match the room names you provided in the Haiku app. Google Assistant will recognize the following command formats:

For fans:

  • “OK Google, turn on my living room fan.”
  • “OK Google, turn off my living room fan.”
  • “OK Google, set my living room fan to 50%.”
  • “OK Google, turn up my living room fan.”
  • “OK Google, turn down my living room fan.”

For lights:

  • “OK Google, is the living room light on?”
  • “OK Google, turn on my living room light.”
  • “OK Google, turn off my living room light.”
  • “OK Google, set my living room light to 80%.”
  • “OK Google, brighten my living room light.”
  • “OK Google, dim my living room light.”

Note: At this time, you can control power, light brightness, and fan speed using voice commands. Google Assistant cannot make changes to other settings such as Smart Mode, Motion, Whoosh, or color temperature.

Amazon Alexa: What kinds of voice commands can I use to control my Haiku products?

Once Alexa discovers your Haiku fans or lights, it assigns room names based on the room names you provided in the Haiku app. Alexa will recognize the following command formats:

  • “Alexa, turn on/off my family room fan.”
  • “Alexa, set my family room fan to speed 30%.”
  • “Alexa, turn up/down my family room fan.”
  • “Alexa, turn on/off my family room light.”  
  • “Alexa, set my family room light to 80%.”
  • “Alexa, brighten/dim my family room light.”

Note: At this time, you can control power, light brightness, and fan speed using voice commands. Alexa cannot make changes to other settings such as Smart Mode, Motion, Whoosh, or color temperature. 

Amazon Alexa: Alexa recognizes my voice command, but asks me to clarify which Haiku product I want to control.

This typically means there are two entries for one Haiku device in Alexa’s database, or that two separate fans, lights, or rooms have the same name in the Haiku app. For example, you may have named two rooms “Bedroom” in the Haiku app.

Can I connect multiple extension tubes that came in the box to get a longer hanging length?

No, only a single extension tube can be used to hang your Haiku fan. The tubes are interchangeable on the fan, but cannot be connected.

If you have a Low Profile or Standard Mount, the extension tubes cannot be changed. If your fan requires a different mount type, the fan must be exchanged.
