Intelligent Ceiling Fans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Big Ass Fans' Haiku SenseMe Smart Fan Uses Smartphone Technologies

— June 9, 2014 — Tech
Big Ass Fans, a ceiling fan company, just unveiled its latest innovation: the Haiku SenseMe Smart Fan. The fan is following the path of many home amenity systems by linking up to our smart devices. Many air conditioning and home security systems have already adapted to being a part of our hand-held devices, but this ceiling fan is the first of its kind.

Thanks to an on-board computer and various sensors, the fan can adjust its speed and light accordingly. It can also learn your preferred temperatures and schedule through its accompanying app.

You can forget about pesky switches, remotes -- that always seem to go missing -- and pull chains, because the SenseME fan is so smart it can detect when you enter or leave a room; it will turn on and off all on its own.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Technology - The trend of integrating home amenities with smart devices presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the ceiling fan industry.
2. Iot (internet of Things) - The use of sensors and connectivity in the Haiku SenseMe Smart Fan highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the IoT industry.
3. Automated Appliances - The automation and self-adjusting capabilities of the SenseMe fan align with the trend of automated appliances, opening up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry.
Industry Implications
1. Ceiling Fan - The introduction of the Haiku SenseMe Smart Fan represents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the ceiling fan industry.
2. Smart Home - The integration of the SenseMe fan with smart devices creates a disruptive innovation opportunity in the smart home industry.
3. Home Appliance - The automation and self-adjusting features of the SenseMe fan present a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home appliance industry.
