FAQs

I don’t see my fan’s light in the app.

If the light kit was installed while power to the fan was on, your fan and the app may not recognize the light properly. To resolve the issue, turn off power to the fan for 30 seconds using the circuit breaker or the wall switch. Restore power to the fan and attempt to control the light again.

How do I reset my fan’s network settings?

Note: A network reset will only re-broadcast the default Haiku Wi-Fi network. All your product names, rooms, events, and other settings will not be changed.

  1. Press and hold a power button (fan or light) on the remote for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the blue LED indicators will blink.

  1. Within 30 seconds of the LED indicators blinking, press the (plus) button on the remote. The fan will beep, and its LED indicators will blink rapidly.

  1. When the LED indicators stop blinking, the network reset is complete.

If the above sequence doesn’t work, bring your fan to a complete stop and try the following:

  1. On the remote, press the following button sequence: Whoosh, Whoosh, Clear, Timer, Fan On/Off.
  2. You will hear a beep after pressing each button, indicating that the fan received the command. Note: the fan will only beep if fan beeps were not turned off.
  3. When the network reset is accepted, the fan’s blue indicator lights will form a circle. Check your mobile device’s Wi-Fi settings to make sure the fan’s network is now visible.

How do I enable the motion sensor on my Haiku products?

The motion sensor detects when you enter or leave a room, turning the fans, lights, or both on and off automatically. Schedule the motion sensor to disable when you know you’ll be away from home so that it doesn’t turn on every time the cat walks into the room.

When the motion sensor is enabled for a room, all fans and lights in the room will simultaneously turn on or off when motion is detected. Use this feature in larger spaces instead of turning on the fans and lights each time you enter the room.

Note: Your fans or lights must be on when you leave the room if you want it to turn on when you re-enter the room. If the fan or light was turned off manually when you left, it will remain off when you return.

Note: The  Fan setting is available only if the room contains fans. The  Light setting is available only if the room contains fans with lights, Haiku Lights, or both.

Note: To enable SenseME features for a Haiku L fan, you will need to install the Wi-Fi module in the fan’s control box and install the Haiku Wi-Fi Wall Control.

ENABLING THE MOTION SENSOR

  1. In the Haiku app, tap a room on the Home screen, and then tap .
  2. If you want the fans in the room to turn on when motion is detected and off when no motion is detected, toggle  Fan to enable it.
    The  Fan setting is available only if the room contains fans.
  3. If you want the lights in the room to turn on when motion is detected and off when no motion is detected, toggle  Light to enable it.
    The  Light setting is available only if the room contains fans with lights, Haiku Lights, or both.
  4. Tap Turn Off After, and then select how long the fans, lights, or both should stay on after motion is no longer detected. The minimum setting is one minute.
  5. Tap Done.

DISABLING THE MOTION SENSOR

  1. In the Haiku app, tap a room on the Home screen, and then tap .
  2. Toggle  Fan,  Light, or both to disable them. The fans and lights will stop detecting your presence in the room and will no longer respond to motion.
  3. Tap Done.

My remote is not controlling my fan.

Note: Since our IR remotes are universally programmed, no “pairing” is required. However, if you’re having trouble getting your remote to work, try the following:

  • Make sure the clear plastic battery tab has been removed, a working battery is installed, you are within range, and you have direct line of sight to the fan/light you’re attempting to control.
  • If the remote still does not work after satisfying the above requirements, there may be a another issue (see instructions below).

FOR HAIKU FANS AND HAIKU I SERIES FANS, TRY THE FOLLOWING:

    1. Cut power to the fan via standard on/off wall switch, or the breaker if standard wall switch is not applicable.
    2. Wait at least 5 minutes, and then restore power.
  2. The fan will beep once as it powers on (unless you have disabled beeps in the app) and blue LEDs on the bottom of the motor may light up.
    1. If you do not hear a beep, verify that the fan is wired correctly, as shown in the installation guide.
    2. If you do hear the fan beep during a power cycle, stand directly beneath the fan and attempt to use the IR remote. Depending on fan height and installation location, IR range can vary.
  3. If you’ve followed these steps and are still unable to use your IR remote, please give us a call.

FOR HAIKU L AND HAIKU C FANS, TRY THE FOLLOWING:

Verify all ground wiring and motor harness connections are secure.

  • Make sure that the yellow clip is connected to the fan motor.
  • Motor post ground screw should be connected at the extension tube base.
  • Make sure the green identification sticker has been removed.
  • Make sure that Upper extension tube ground wire is secured to outside of mounting bracket hex screw.

The fan jerks upon startup.

This is normal and may happen occasionally upon startup. An initial slight jerking forward and backward does not affect fan operation.

My airfoils are damaged, or I want a different color or size. Can you send me a new set?

Each fan goes through a rigorous balancing process during which the airfoils and motor are uniquely paired. Changing airfoils requires a full fan replacement to maintain proper balance and functionality.

How do I change the battery in my Haiku remote?

Haiku Premium Remote: Remove the battery cover and the back of the remote. Remove and replace the AAA batteries. Replace the battery cover and test the remote.

Haiku L/Haiku C Remote: Locate the battery tray on the back of the remote. Squeeze the tab inward while gently pulling the tray out of the remote. Be sure to properly orient the new battery in the tray before installing it back into the remote. Test the remote.

I need a different length of extension tube. Can you send me a new one?

Universal mount fans include 20- and 32-inch extension tubes. A Tall Ceiling Kit that includes 48- and 60-inch extension tubes is available and can be purchased here. Universal mount extension tubes are interchangeable on the fan, but cannot be connected.

If you have a Low Profile or Standard Mount, the extension tubes cannot be changed. If your fan requires a different mount type, the fan must be exchanged. 

My fan will not start.
  • Ensure that your fan is receiving power.
  • Check your circuit breaker or fuse and wall switch for functionality.
  • Make sure that all wires are securely connected and the fan is properly wired and grounded.
My fan is noisy during operation.
  • Check all mounting and fan hardware. If loose, tighten. If you are unsure of how to do this, refer to the installation guide:
  • Bring the fan to a complete stop. Gently turn the airfoils by hand, making sure there are no fan parts rubbing on the motor unit when the fan rotates.
  • If your fan uses the universal mount, lower the wiring cover and make sure the wedge is tightly secured in the mounting ball.
My fan is wobbling during operation.
  • Remove the airfoils (Haiku Indoor/Outdoor) or the lower cover (Haiku I Series).
    • Make sure the colored dot sticker on each airfoil matches the sticker on the motor hub.
    • If the stickers don’t match, move the airfoils to the matching attachment points.
    • If they already match, continue reading.
  • Make sure the gaps between each airfoil are the same.
  • If your fan was installed with the universal mount, make sure the mounting ball wedge has been installed and it is seated in the correct position. Verify the wedge screw is tight against the ball.
  • Make sure all mounting hardware is tight.
  • Make sure the airfoils are properly aligned and are securely fastened to the fan hub.
I have a ceiling angle greater than 33 degrees. Do I need to do anything special?

For extreme ceiling angles, a cathedral ceiling adapter or “bird box” will allow you to set a base on which to install your Haiku fan.

Do you install locally?

Sorry, no. Please contact Customer Service for assistance.

Can I connect multiple extension tubes that came in the box to get a longer hanging length?

No, only a single extension tube can be used to hang your Haiku fan. The tubes are interchangeable on the fan, but cannot be connected.

  • Haiku, Haiku I Series: Universal mount fans include 20- and 32-inch extension tubes. A Tall Ceiling Kit that includes 48- and 60-inch extension tubes is available and can be purchased here.

If you have a Low Profile or Standard Mount, the extension tubes cannot be changed. If your fan requires a different mount type, the fan must be exchanged.
