Motorised smart curtains opening onto a garden view in a Bali villa bedroom

Curtains are the most underrated automation in a tropical villa. Bali sun is brutal and punctual: it pours into east-facing bedrooms at 6:30 and heats west glass walls from two o'clock. Motorised curtains and blinds turn that schedule into an asset — open with the light you want, closed against the heat you don't, and your AC works measurably less. I install quiet Zigbee track motors and retrofit motors that fit existing curtain tracks and roller blinds, so most villas don't need new curtains at all — just smarter ones.

What Curtain Automation Includes

Motorised Tracks & Retrofit Motors

New whisper-quiet motorised tracks for renovations, or retrofit Zigbee motors fitted to your existing tracks and roller blinds. Curtain fabric stays; only the pulling gets automated.

Sun & Heat Logic

Curtains follow real sunrise/sunset times — which shift little in Bali but matter for guests — and lux sensors close west-facing blinds when afternoon sun starts loading the glass.

Scene Integration

Cinema scene closes the blackout, Good Morning opens the bedroom 20%, checkout opens everything for housekeeping. Buttons and pull-to-start still work by hand.

Blackout Done Properly

For bedrooms we fix the gaps that ruin blackout — side channels, centre overlap, top pelmets — because a motor on leaky blackout is automation of a problem.

Curtains as Climate Equipment

Closing a west-facing blind at 13:30 instead of 17:00 keeps several kilowatt-hours of solar heat out of the room — heat your AC would otherwise spend the evening pumping back out. Paired with our smart climate control, the logic is automatic: lux sensor sees the sun load coming, blinds close, the AC setpoint never has to chase. In glass-heavy modern builds in Berawa and Pererenan this is the single cheapest cooling upgrade available.

For rentals, motorised curtains are a five-star review machine — guests mention the sunrise-opening every time — and at checkout the villa resets itself for cleaning. Motors run on Zigbee through the same hub as the lighting, so everything joins your scenes, and battery retrofit motors mean rented villas get this with zero drilling. Planning a bigger project? Curtains slot into any full smart home installation as a module.

How We Install

  1. Window survey

    Photos or a visit: track types, curtain weight, blind sizes and which windows face the afternoon sun decide the motor models.

  2. Motor selection and quote

    Track motors for heavy linen, tube motors for rollers, battery retrofit for no-drill situations — per-window IDR pricing, fixed.

  3. Installation

    Motors fitted and travel limits set per window; heavy double-layer Bali curtains get torque-checked so they glide instead of grind.

  4. Scenes and sun logic

    Sunrise, heat-defence and Cinema behaviours programmed, hand controls verified, and guests' favourite button — Good Morning — demonstrated.

Pricing in IDR

A retrofit motor on an existing roller blind starts from IDR 2,800,000 installed. Motorising a standard curtain track runs IDR 3,500,000–5,500,000 per window depending on width and fabric weight. A typical villa living room with three openings lands around IDR 12,000,000. Whole-villa packages are on the pricing page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you motorise my existing curtains?
Usually yes. Retrofit Zigbee motors fit most standard tracks and roller blinds — your fabric and rail stay. Only some decorative rod systems need replacing with a motorised track.
How loud are the motors?
The models we install run at 30–35 dB — quieter than the AC fan. Sunrise opening is gentle enough not to wake most sleepers before the light does.
Do they work during internet or power outages?
Zigbee motors follow local hub automations with the internet down. Battery motors keep working through blackouts entirely; mains-powered tracks resume their schedule when power returns.
Can guests still pull them by hand?
Yes — pull-to-start is built in: a gentle tug starts the motor in that direction. Nothing breaks if someone treats them like normal curtains.
