Safety: Look like you're at home—even when you're not—by raising and lowering shades automatically.

Energy Efficiency: About 30% of a home's heating energy is lost through windows. Automating allows you to strategically open shades to let sunlight help heat your home or close them to maximize insulation at the window. You can also reduce heat gain from sunlight in the summer.**

For the Sophisticated Home: From the beauty of Bali Shades to the beauty of cutting-edge control, Bali ensures each room makes a powerful, sophisticated statement.

*Number of shades per gateway depends on many factors, including the number of remotes added. Each shade associates exclusively with one gateway; you cannot control the same shade with multiple gateway devices. If a home requires more shades to be lifted, simply add another gateway device.

Ratings and reviews

Constant Problem: "Please ensure you are with range of your shade." I get this every single time I open the app. The only workaround that I have found is to clear storage on the app and sign in again. After that it will work during that session but the next time I open it I have the problem again. I'm using Bluetooth to connect without a gateway. After the Feb 2025 update, my workaround no longer works. I can't even use them at all without a remote. I also cannot add a new shade via Bluetooth.

Worthless app and support. I spent hours trying to get the Bali-supplied gateway set up. It's junk, but the app seems to be the actual issue. I was able to get it to connect to my network, but based on the error code, it can't sync to their servers. Called support and the rep couldn't help. She submitted a ticket to a product specialist; 2 weeks later I've yet to get a response. I just bought the Aeotec hub and connected via SmartThings, then Google Home for voice control. That's the fix

Customer service is horrible, the blinds cost more, and work less than what they adveryise. The app works 50% of the time, have to reprogram every other week. App is non responsive. Don't even think of using the "smart" feature. It's never once worked. Setup sends you into an eternal loop of logging into an account that you've never been told how to setup!!!! Absolutely horrible.
