Haiku Home ceiling fans will soon tap Amazon's Echo for voice control

Big Ass Fans' Haiku ceiling fans have been the most sophisticated fans to reach the consumer market since they began shipping in 2014. Equipped with temperature, humidity, and occupancy sensors, they can turn themselves on and off and automatically adjust their rotational speed as needed. They can also exchange information with Nest thermostats to cool your home even more efficiently. In early 2016, Big Ass Fans formed a new division--Haiku Home--to focus on the residential market. Now Haiku Home has announced integration with Amazon's Alexa voice control, so that its fans' automatic settings can be overridden with voice commands.
