Upgrade Options

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  • Some keypads are outdated and you want touchscreens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.
