C-Bus - The Scalable
Home Control Solution
C-Bus Home Control can be easily customised to suit
your specific requirements. The capabilities and function
combinations are endless, and limited only by your imagination.
C-Bus Home Control gives you remote or automated
control of different elements within your home. For
some, it might be as simple as wanting the ability
to turn off all your appliances via remote control
to reduce standby power and conserve energy.
Alternatively, you might want to control your entire home
at the touch of a button. It’s important to understand
that a C-Bus Home Control system doesn’t need to
be expensive or extensive… the choice is yours.
When you’re deciding what to include in your home
control system, it is important to consider the following:
1) What do you want to control?
The scope of what C-Bus can control and automate is
extensive. For instance, you can control just lighting,
or lighting and multi-room audio. Or, you can have
your whole home automated by incorporating lighting,
multi-room audio, air conditioning, heating, energy
monitoring, irrigation, blinds and curtains, environment
sensors, windows, ceiling fans, security, surveillance,
pool and spa equipment, audiovisual equipment and
access control; all into one intelligent, managed system.
2) What areas do you want to control?
Once you’ve worked out what elements you want to control,
it’s just as important to consider what areas of your home
you want to control. A wired or wireless C-Bus system can
be installed to control one or more elements i.e. lighting in
the living room, or audio and lighting in the dining room.
Similarly, C-Bus can control just the living and entertainment
areas, outside, in multiple rooms, or your entire home.

3) What level of functionality do you require?
The C-Bus system is designed with maximum flexibility
and functionality in mind. Wireless systems, which use
radio frequencies to send command signals, are perfect for
use where one function or one room requires control, such
as lighting in the living room. Wireless systems can also be
used to complement or extend existing C-Bus installations.
Wired systems are more suited to new homes or renovations,
where cabling can be easily installed into the wall cavities
during the building process. Functionality can be further
enhanced via integration with other systems around your
home. The type and number of wall switches or touch
screens needed will depend on where and how you want to
control your system, including control from portable devices,
both within the home and remotely over the Internet.
4) What is your budget?
A benefit of the C-Bus system is that the control functions
can be easily modified or added, to suit your requirements
as they change. The cost of a C-Bus system is determined
by what areas and what functions you want to control, as
well as how you want to control it. If you require some
advice, speak to a Clipsal Partner, who can design a C-Bus
Home Control System to suit your needs and budget.
As you can see, C-Bus is a flexible and expandable system,
specifically designed to grow and complement your lifestyle.
No matter what level of control and automation you choose
for your home, you will enjoy an enhanced level of comfort,
convenience, control, security and energy efficiency.
