User Reviews

Users appreciate the Haiku fans' design, quiet operation, and functionality, along with useful app features like scheduling and voice assistant integration. However, the app suffers from frequent connectivity issues, unreliable syncing, and a dated interface. Many users face repeated reconnections and limited smart home integration, leading to frustration despite effective fan hardware and good customer support.

Pros

The fan is attractive, effective, and quiet, with features like motion sensing and night light functionality.
The app allows convenient remote control of fans, including scheduling and integration with Alexa and Google Home.
Customer support and initial setup experience are generally praised for being helpful and friendly.
The fan operates quietly and moves air efficiently.
The app provides useful scheduling features that help maintain settings automatically.

Cons

The app frequently loses connection to the fan, requiring repeated setup and reconnection.
WiFi connectivity issues are common, with problems syncing especially after updates or with newer routers.
The app feels outdated, lacks regular updates, and has limited smart home platform integrations such as missing SmartThings compatibility.
Remotes and app control can be inconsistent, with some models working better than others, causing frustration.
Smart features like settings retention and motion detection are unreliable or have disappeared in app updates.

UPDATE: The app is now labeled "Retired" so downloaded new BAF app, I cannot get it to sync up with our Haiku Fan, although the app shows our fan in an illustration when you first open it up. I will continue using this app until newer app recognizes our fan. - 11/02/24 Very convenient at night when I have forgotten to turn off the fan before going upstairs. - 06/09/20

worked with tech support. Reboot and reinstall constantly. The constant loss of connection makes this something I can no longer recommend. Edit:Clients hate it. Avoid if you are a writing a spec for a smart home. EDIT1: was told the router was the problem, not the fans. Tested 3 different routers with no affect. (Spectrum, Google, and now Orbi) EDIT2: getting worse. App is rarely updated as Company doesnt care. EDIT: app is now as useless as the new one, which incompatible with some devices.
