 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.
