What You Can Add to
Your Existing C-Bus System

Most C-Bus systems have significant unused capacity. These are the most popular upgrades we carry out across Sydney homes and commercial buildings.

📱

C-Bus Touchscreens

Replace standard keypads with C-Touch touchscreen interfaces. Full scene control, status display and system overview from any room.

🏠

New Zones & Circuits

Add new dimmer or relay modules to bring alfresco areas, new rooms or extensions onto your C-Bus network. Minimal disruption.

📸

Occupancy & Presence Sensors

Add automatic lighting based on occupancy. Ideal for bathrooms, hallways, garages and commercial spaces to reduce energy use.

Scheduling & Automation

Time-of-day scenes, astronomical clock triggers, welcome home lighting sequences and automated security lighting from your existing system.

🌎

Mobile App Integration

Add C-Gate server and connect your C-Bus system to third-party apps and home automation platforms including Control4, Crestron and Home Assistant.

📈

Energy Monitoring

Add C-Bus measurement units to monitor circuit-level energy consumption. Useful for commercial tenants and energy management compliance.

The Upgrade Process

How a C-Bus Upgrade
Actually Works

1

System Assessment

We audit your current C-Bus installation — what modules you have, what capacity remains on your network, and what your system is capable of with upgrades.

2

Scope & Quote

We provide a clear written quote for exactly what will be done. No vague estimates — line-by-line scope before any work is committed.

3

Installation

New modules installed, existing programming backed up, new programming added. No disruption to existing scenes and functionality during the upgrade.

4

Commission & Handover

Full system test, programming backup provided, and a walkthrough of any new features added. You leave knowing exactly how to use everything.

Good Candidates

Is Your C-Bus System
Ready for an Upgrade?

These are the signs your C-Bus system is ready for an upgrade, not a repair:

  • You only use on/off — no dimming or scenes programmed
  • The system was installed 5+ years ago and never reprogrammed
  • You've built a new room, extension or alfresco that isn't on C-Bus
  • You want to control lighting from your phone
  • Some keypads are outdated and you want touchscreens
  • You want automated scheduling or energy reporting
  • You're preparing the property for sale and want to add value

Most C-Bus upgrades are completed in a single visit.

FAQs

C-Bus Upgrade Questions Answered

Can I upgrade my old C-Bus system without rewiring? +
In most cases yes. C-Bus uses a two-wire network cable and existing wiring is usually retained during upgrades. Adding new modules, replacing keypads with touchscreens, or expanding zones typically does not require major rewiring. An on-site assessment confirms exactly what your installation needs.
What can I add to my existing C-Bus system? +
Existing C-Bus systems can be expanded with: new dimmer and relay modules for additional zones, C-Bus touchscreen interfaces, presence and occupancy sensors, time clock and astronomical scheduling, mobile app integration via C-Gate, HVAC and blind control integration, and multi-room audio triggers.
How much does a C-Bus upgrade cost in Sydney? +
C-Bus upgrade costs depend on scope. Adding a module and updating programming is significantly less expensive than a full expansion with new touchscreens and zones. We assess your current system and provide a clear line-by-line quote before any work is committed.
Does upgrading my C-Bus system affect my existing programming? +
No — we always back up your existing programming before any upgrade work. Your current scenes, schedules and functionality are preserved throughout. New programming is added alongside existing, not in place of it.
📱 Modernize & Voice Control

Don't let your C-Bus system feel dated. We integrate legacy systems with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Control your lighting, blinds, and climate from your iPhone or Watch with remote access from anywhere.

🔧 Specialist Diagnostics

We fix the "unfixable." Using C-Bus Toolkit, PICED, and Dynalite Envision, we perform deep-level network analysis, burden testing, and voltage drop diagnostics that general Automation Specialists cannot provide.

🚨 Emergency Same-Day Repairs

Lights won't turn off? Total system crash? We offer Priority Same-Day Service across Sydney for critical faults. Our vans are stocked with common C-Bus & Dynalite hardware for immediate replacement.
