When C-Bus starts to fail.
C-Bus was the standard in prestige homes and commercial fit-outs for years. Many of those systems are now reaching the end of their life. Dimmers and relays drop out, scenes stop working, and the original programmer and project files are often long gone.
Patching an ageing system one unit at a time rarely ends well. Upgrading to KNX gives you a current platform with a long future, without being tied to one manufacturer or one installer.
Signs it is time
- Lights or scenes that fail or behave erratically
- Failed dimmer or relay units in the switchboard
- Switches or touch panels no longer responding
- No programming files or original installer
- Plans to renovate or extend the building
Why KNX.
KNX is an open international standard supported by hundreds of manufacturers. Switches, sensors, dimmers and controllers from different brands work together, so you choose the hardware and the look you want, and any KNX certified integrator can maintain it.
Our team includes a KNX certified partner. We design, install, program and commission the system, then hand it over with full documentation and the project files, so you are never locked out of your own building.
What we deliver
- Survey of the existing C-Bus system and wiring
- KNX design and switchboard layout
- Lighting, blinds and climate control
- Designer switch plates and touch panels
- Programming, commissioning and handover
- Project files and as-built documentation
One system for the whole building.
Because we also install security, intercoms and AV, we connect them to KNX. Arming the alarm turns off the lights and closes the blinds. The front gate intercom brings up the driveway lights. A single app runs the lot.
Upgrades can be staged room by room or floor by floor where that suits, so the home or building keeps running while the work is done.
Where we work
- Prestige homes from Noosa to Pelican Waters
- Prestige homes across Brisbane
- Commercial buildings and offices
- Hospitality venues and clubs
Common questions.
Can you repair our existing C-Bus system?
We assess the existing system first. Where units are failing or the system is ageing, we usually recommend upgrading to KNX rather than patching it.
Does everything have to be replaced at once?
No. Where it suits the building, the upgrade can be staged room by room or floor by floor, so the lighting keeps working while the work is done.
Will we own the programming files?
Yes. We hand over the KNX project files and documentation, so any KNX certified integrator can support the system in future.
