Clever Home Automation - Frequently Asked Questions.
Clipsal C-Bus Touchscreens, PAC & Wiser 2 Compared.



Which Clipsal C-Bus home controllers should I enjoy in my automation home?

Choose the home automation controllers that best suit your needs using the below comparison table. In overview, C-Bus home automation controllers are available in three forms:

  • C-Bus Touchcreen Controllers which comprise a wall-mounted touch screen and a C-Bus home automation controller with a wired C-Bus interface - these are not just touch screens.
  • The Pascal Automation Controller is a C-Bus home automation controller with a wired C-Bus interface, but without any graphic user interface.
  • The Wiser 2 Home Controller is a C-Bus home automation controller with wired C-Bus interface that supports a widget-based graphic user interface when accessed from PCs, smart phones and Internet tablets.

A home with C-Bus home automation should include at least one of the above home automation controllers. Most Clever Home automation projects will include two different types of controllers to support the types of user interfaces desired by the home owner, and we program the multiple home automation controllers to work together. It is also common to use multiple touch screen controllers in a single home. C-Bus home controllers with support from Clever Home offer benefits that may include:
  • Intuitive graphic home automation user interfaces on touchscreens, or on your Internet web browsing devices.
  • Beautiful touchscreen fascias to match C-Bus wall switch styles, including glass Saturn and stainless steel.
  • Support for a large number of home automation Schedules and Scenes (lists of actions to perform).
  • Versatile Logic Engine support using Pascal programming, for active occupancy support, for example.
  • LAN or USB interfaces for your PC for reprogramming your C-Bus system and your controller.
  • RS232 ports for interfacing to third party home automation equipment.
