Bali Motorization App CONVENIENT SHADE CONTROL FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE 
 Easy to set up and use, the Bali Motorization App makes life easier by giving you full control of your Bali Motorized Shades from your mobile device - Intuitive and user-friendly - Powered by Bluetooth/Z-Wave technology. - Monitors the battery life of your paired shades and remotes. - Optional Bali Motorization Gateway (USB/plug) allows for shade control from anywhere in the world. - Grant permission to family members to control shades through multi-user functionality. 
 For the optimal experience, the app has the ability to combine Bluetooth and Z-Wave for total control of your shades. 
 Bluetooth-Only Functionality - Bluetooth-enabled shades pair easily to a mobile device without a gateway for in-home use. - Enjoy full shade control with instant response time. - Set up Routines to open and close multiple shades at specific times. - Ability to update firmware for continued enhancements. 
 Bali Gateway (Z-Wave) Functionality - Control your shades with the Bali App from anywhere in the world. - Shades can be integrated with voice-controlled smart home devices, like Alexa and Google Home. - Set up Routines to open and close multiple shades at specific times, such as sunrise and sunset. - Ability to use new gateway plug as a smart plug, increasing your smart home experience. - Easily control single or multiple motorized shades (recommended up to 7 shades per gateway device*) directly from your mobile device. 

 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. **Information provided by the consumer resource of the U.S. Department of Energy: energy.gov.
