## Review summary

The Haiku app is praised for easy setup, simple control, and strong smart‑home integration (Alexa/Google/Ecobee) with multi‑fan support. However, recurring cons include stability issues after updates, unreliable connectivity requiring solid Wi‑Fi/mesh, removal of sleep mode, and login/account problems. Overall, it’s functional and convenient for several fans, but reliability improvements are needed.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and simple to use the Haiku app, with straightforward setup and control.
- Works well with popular smart home assistants (Alexa, Google Assistant, Ecobee) for voice and platform integration.
- Convenient control of both fan and light via the app, with multiple fans supported in a single interface.
- Reliable app control across multiple devices; the app can manage several Haiku fans smoothly.

### Cons

- Frequent stability problems after app updates, including crashes on iOS 15.4 with Version 3.0.
- Connectivity issues: when the fan loses power or the Wi‑Fi drops, the app disconnects and may take days to reconnect, sometimes requiring a strong mesh network.
- Sleep mode has been removed in the newer app, removing a key temperature-based night setting.
- Login and account creation/sign-in errors block setup and control for some users.
