Your C-Bus Touch Screen
Is Holding You Back.
Cracked panels, frozen displays, discontinued parts — legacy C-Bus touch screens are failing across Sydney. There's a smarter, more cost-effective solution that isn't legacy hardware.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Legacy C-Bus touch screens were built for a different era. These are the problems our Sydney clients report every week — and why a like-for-like replacement is rarely the right answer.
Unresponsive or Frozen Touch
The screen stops registering taps accurately or locks up completely. Digitiser degradation in older panels is the usual cause — and replacement digitisers are increasingly scarce or unavailable entirely.
Cracked or Dim Screen
Physical cracks, pressure damage, and backlight failure are common in ageing C-Bus panels. Like-for-like screen replacements can cost as much as a full iPad setup — if they're even available.
Discontinued Hardware & No Parts
Many C-Bus touch screen models have been discontinued by Schneider Electric. Sourcing genuine replacement units or components can take weeks and cost significantly more than current alternatives.
Outdated, Clunky Interface
Legacy C-Bus software is slow, difficult to navigate, and can't be updated. Occupants end up ignoring the panel entirely and switching things on at the wall switch — defeating the whole purpose.
No Remote or Mobile Access
Older C-Bus panels offer zero mobile management. You're walking to the wall every time something needs adjusting — no app, no remote access, no visibility from anywhere else in the building.
Repair Costs That Keep Adding Up
Service callouts on legacy touch screens are expensive and recurring. There's no long-term fix — just repeated band-aids on hardware that's well past its useful life and will fail again.
Replace It With an iPad.
Modern C-Bus software runs natively on iPad via the C-Bus app. It's not a workaround — it's the upgrade your system was always heading towards, and it connects directly to your existing C-Bus network.
Not Legacy Hardware
iPads are actively manufactured, supported, and updated by Apple. No discontinued parts, no 6-week lead times, no chasing an obsolete panel from a supplier who no longer stocks it.
Better Controls, Better Experience
A large, fast, responsive touchscreen running modern C-Bus software gives occupants a far more intuitive interface — lighting, climate, scenes, and access all in one place.
Significantly More Cost-Effective
An iPad setup typically costs a fraction of a like-for-like legacy replacement — and comes with Apple's full product lifecycle, warranty, and the option to upgrade as newer models release.
Remote Access Built Right In
Control and monitor your C-Bus system from anywhere via iPhone or another iPad. No additional hardware, licensing, or complex configuration required.

How the iPad Upgrade Works
Most upgrades are completed in a single visit with zero disruption to your C-Bus network or the rest of your system.
1. Book an Assessment
Call or book online. We'll discuss your existing setup, the screen model you have, and what the iPad replacement will involve before we attend.
2. On-Site Installation
We connect the iPad to your existing C-Bus network, configure the C-Bus app with your scenes, groups, and schedules, and mount it using a purpose-built wall frame.
3. Tested & Handed Over
We test every zone and scene through the new interface and walk you through using it before we leave. Remote access is configured and verified on your phone.

"Super happy with Cync Electrical. Jason was professional and honest, diagnosed the issue fast and got it sorted without any fuss. My C-Bus system is working perfectly again."

"He fixed the C-Bus issue very quickly and didn't leave any mess behind. Came out the next day. He will definitely be the first person I call next time something goes wrong."
