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.
Update: We really love this smart fan and enjoy the features and light. It's extremely attractive and highly functional. The fan itself and customer support is 5-star. From time to time my app control & my Alexa control looses connectivity and I must initiate setup again, lately its been holding connectivity. So now, I'm reinstating my rate this fan/app combo as a full 5 star. Did I mention this fan is super effective and attractive...! Motion sensing makes it a great night light too.
