The ubiquitous view of the future paints sleek designs merging with advanced technology to streamline people’s lives. And, in recent years, once-far-fetched products are becoming realities. “Smart” technology covers every corner of the home, including, now, the ceiling. Thanks to Haiku Home, a division of Big Ass Solutions, new ceiling fans and lights are making rooms smarter and monthly electric bills lower.
Housed in Haiku’s new L Series Fan, a three-blade model with a slim modern aesthetic, is an LED lighting system and smart technology that respond automatically to environmental changes. Activated by an optional wall control, the SenseME Technology adjusts fan settings automatically based on room conditions — occupancy, temperature, humidity — keeping you comfortable when you’re in the room, and saving energy (and money) when you’re out. Haiku has also partnered with Amazon for voice-controlled operation, and L Series fans purchased from Amazon will have wi-fi compatibility, allowing the fixture to connect to Amazon Echo. This makes adjusting the fan’s settings as simple as a verbal command. Echo integration will roll out automatically to all fans with SenseME technology as part of an app update on April 28th.

The L Series Fan’s design boasts sculpted airfoils that are hand-balanced, a detail that has the fan performing at four times the efficiency of Energy Star requirements and operating silently at any speed. The fan comes in both black and white colorways and includes a universal mount that is suitable for both flat and angled ceilings.
