Clipsal Wiser Discontinued? Upgrade Your C-Bus to Apple Home
Your Wiser is gone. Your C-Bus is fine.
Schneider Electric has discontinued the Wiser Home Controller — but the wired C-Bus network behind it is current, supported hardware. We remove the dead gateway and give your home a modern Apple Home interface instead.
Is the Clipsal Wiser discontinued? Yes. Schneider Electric officially discontinued the Wiser Home Controller 2 (5200WHC2) on 2 February 2025, and the original Wiser's Flash-based interface stopped working back in December 2020. Your wired C-Bus network still works — only the control layer has died. Cync Electrical removes the failed Wiser gateway and connects your existing C-Bus to Apple Home, restoring app, remote and voice control without rewiring. We service all of Greater Sydney.
How your Wiser stopped working
Wiser 1 installed everywhere
The original Wiser Home Controller (5200WHC / 5200PG) shipped with thousands of Sydney C-Bus homes. Its app and web interface were built on Adobe Flash.
Flash retired, Wiser 1 dies
Adobe ended Flash worldwide. Wiser 1 interfaces stopped loading on every modern phone, tablet and browser — the hardware still powers up, but there's nothing to control it with.
Wiser 2 officially discontinued
Schneider Electric formally discontinued the Wiser Home Controller 2 (5200WHC2). No replacement units, no new development — end of the line for the Wiser control layer.
Only the gateway died. Everything in your walls is fine.
This is the part most Wiser owners aren't told: C-Bus itself is a current, actively supported Schneider product. Your investment in the wiring is safe.

- The C-Bus network itself (pink cable)
- Your entire wiring investment
Out with the Wiser, in with Apple Home
We've made this exact swap many times. It's switchboard work and programming — no rewiring, no wall damage, no replacing switches that still work.
Book a call
We talk through your system over the phone — which Wiser you have, what's stopped working, what keypads and screens are installed. You'll know before anyone comes out whether this upgrade is right for your home.
C-Bus Health Audit & backup
On site, we document your network, test every device, and recover the project file directly from the network if the original programmer is long gone — no starting from scratch. Everything is backed up before we change a single thing.
Fixed-price quote
You get a written, fixed-price quote covering every component — hardware, programming and commissioning. No time-and-materials surprises, no contingency padding.
Out with the Wiser
The bricked gateway comes out of the enclosure. In its place: a current C-Bus network interface and an Apple Home bridge — modern, supported hardware. Your keypads, dimmers and relays aren't touched, and lighting works from the walls the whole time.
Programming & Apple Home setup
Every room, light and scene lands in the Apple Home app — iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Siri. A HomePod or Apple TV becomes your home hub, so remote access and automations run locally in your house, not on someone's cloud. Schedules come back better than Wiser ever did them.
Handover & support
A full walkthrough, every question answered, and the complete project file handed over — so you're never locked into one installer again. We stay available afterwards for adjustments and support.
C-Bus and Apple Home, done properly

What Sydney C-Bus owners say
Fantastic service! Friendly, efficient and well priced. Thank you for swiftly fixing our C-Bus switches. Had three keypads not responding and they sorted it all in one visit.
I recently had Cync Electrical handle all the electrical work in my new home including the C-Bus setup. I couldn't be happier with the results — everything works exactly as it should. The system is intuitive and the handover was thorough.
Questions we get every week
Is C-Bus itself discontinued?
Can I keep my existing wall switches and keypads?
Do I need any rewiring?
What does it cost?
Can I use Google Home instead of Apple Home?
My Wiser touchscreen is also dead. Can you help with that?
