The house you already own.
Finally looked after.

Half of Melbourne's C-Bus systems have nobody left to call. We take them over, connect the intercom and the awkward corners, put everything in one app — and answer the phone for $29 a month.

The gap nobody fills

C-Bus was sold as a system for life.
Nobody sold you the life after.

Between 2003 and 2015, tens of thousands of Melbourne homes were wired with Clipsal C-Bus. The hardware is still excellent — 20 years on, most of it is still switching. What disappeared was the dealer who programmed it, the app that talked to it, and the phone number that answered.

Clipsal became Schneider. Local dealers closed or moved to new-build. When a dimmer dies now, the homeowner is told the whole system is "end of life" and quoted a replacement. That is almost never true.

“Ten out of ten C-Bus owners I visit have nobody looking after the system. Not one of them was told who to call.”

What we connect

Four systems. One roof.

You do not need a new house. Most Melbourne homes already have half of this — we join it up instead of selling you another app.

C-Bus

Your existing Clipsal or Schneider C-Bus on iPhone, iPad and Android — plus repairs, module replacement and a care plan. No rewiring, no new switch plates.

C-Bus services →

Video intercom

Hikvision and Dahua door stations — see who is there, talk, unlock the door or gate. On the indoor screen and in the same app as the lights.

Intercom systems →

Shelly

Plugs, blinds, hot water, towel rails and garage doors where the wire never reached. Retrofit behind existing switches — no chasing walls.

Shelly & smart switching →

Alarm & camera

WIS alarm panels, cameras and access control on the same timeline, so one incident reads as one story — not four apps and a phone call.

Security by WIS →

One screen

Not four apps.
One.

The whole point of an integrator is that you stop switching between apps. Lights, door, plugs and cameras live in one place — one login, one language, one history.

One login, English or 中文Every room, device and fault message has a real name in both languages.

One timelineA light, a door and a plug are the same kind of event — so the history reads like a diary, not four logs.

One number when something driftsA module at 31.8 V is not an app problem. We see it weeks before you do, and we call you first.

What we actually do

Six things, done properly.

No “smart home packages”. Specific work, specific prices, and a phone number at the end of it.

C-Bus app control

Your existing system on iPhone, iPad and Android. Rooms, scenes, schedules — keypads stay exactly where they are.

Fault finding & repair

Dead circuit, flickering light, module alarm. We measure the bus and name the failed part — with its serial number.

System takeover

Original installer gone? We read the project, rebuild the database and document every room, circuit and scene.

Intercom & entry

Hikvision and Dahua door stations, indoor monitors, gate and door release — installed and joined to the app.

Shelly retrofit

Smart switching where there is no C-Bus: plugs, blinds, hot water, garage. Installed behind existing plates.

Care & monitoring

A daily check on voltage and trends. We call you before a light fails, not after — with the part already on the ticket.

Why it feels different

What usually happens, and what we do.

The usual experience

“C-Bus is end of life, replace the lot.”
Quoted for a new system before anyone opens the board
Three separate trades: electrician, intercom, security
Four apps from four brands
Nobody to call when a light starts flickering
Invoice, then silence

How it works

Three steps, one visit.

Most homes are finished in a day. Nothing is disconnected before the new control is tested.

STEP 01

Free home check

Thirty to forty minutes. We read the existing system, count channels, check the interface and tell you honestly what is worth connecting — and what is not.

STEP 02

One visit

Three to five hours on site. We connect, program, name every room in both languages and hand over the app working — not half-finished.

STEP 03

We watch it

A daily system check watches voltage and trends. When something drifts, we call you first, with the part and the serial number already on the ticket.

Questions

The four we get most.

Is my C-Bus actually obsolete?

Almost never. C-Bus is still made and supported by Schneider Electric as SpaceLogic C-Bus. What usually disappears is the local dealer who programmed it. The modules, keypads and wiring are usually fine — we measure them before recommending anything.

Do you need to rewire the house?

No. App control connects to the C-Bus network that is already in your walls, through the existing PC interface or network bridge. The only extra work is at the switchboard.

Can you add an intercom to the same app?

Yes. Hikvision and Dahua door stations run alongside C-Bus, so the door camera, the unlock button and the hallway light sit together on one screen.

What if I don't have C-Bus at all?

Then we usually start with Shelly behind your existing switches — genuine smart control without pulling new cable — and add C-Bus later if you want a wired backbone.
