Bali Shades - anyone use them? Is there a script or plugin?

Hi, I have 6 of them and running over the same issue. How do I know the current firmware and where can I find the update ?

Thanks

I have a fix. My guess is you are running firmware 11.2 like i was. I found 11.3.... with difficulty. I will PM you both.

nlandreth would you mind sharing firmware 11.3, I have aprox 17 Bali blinds on 11.2 firmware.
Thanks

We have Bali blinds. They are standard z-wave devices. The motors are kind of loud and the remotes are junk. I have 20% of the remotes fail within 3 years. All the shades are automated so the fact that the remotes don't work anymore isn't that bad but it is still anyoing when you try to control them manually. Bali really just introduced those shades around the time we purchased them so maybe they improved the quality.

The instructions sent by nlandreth indicated the firmware should only be used for the rollers, not the cellular shades. I have the blinds which I believe are the same as the cellular shades referred to in the instructions. I was able to update all the blinds without any issue from the z-wave manager under each root device. I only had to re-include one of the blinds which was on firmware ver. 11.0 before the upgrade. The blinds seem to be working fine.
In response to mulu, I have also had problems with the remotes, but it has been a matter of replacing the batteries. I have had problems with the internal strings holding the blinds, in two of them, these have broken and haven't found a way to fix them yet.

I have the cellular and ones as well and decided to not flash them at the moment, my firmware is at 11.2 and not 11.02 and there is a note to contact them if it is not a 4 digit version #.
