CLIPSAL C-BUS BLINDS & SHADING CONTROL
Motorised blinds, curtains and awnings become part of your smart home when they run on Clipsal C-Bus – and DUKE Electrical Group are the Melbourne team who make it happen. Bring your window furnishings into the same C-Bus system as your lighting, and control light, heat, glare and privacy at the touch of a button or automatically through the day.
Using C-Bus shutter relays and the same network that runs your lighting, we integrate motorised blinds and curtains into scenes and schedules – so a single ‘movie’, ‘morning’ or ‘away’ press moves your blinds, sets your lights and more, together. As long-time C-Bus specialists we make it seamless, reliable and beautifully simple to use.
What C-Bus shading control does
One-touch & scene control. Raise, lower and position blinds room-by-room or in whole-home scenes, from wall switches, a touch screen or the Wiser app.
Automatic light & heat management. Schedule blinds to lower against afternoon sun and lift for winter warmth, easing the load on your heating and cooling.
Integrated with your lighting. Because blinds share the C-Bus network with your lighting, they work together in the same scenes – not as a separate system.
Bring your blinds into your Clipsal C-Bus system. Call DUKE Electrical Group on 1300 003 853 to add automated blinds and shading to your Melbourne home.

SCENES & SCHEDULES
Blinds join your C-Bus scenes and daily schedules – morning routines that open the home, evening privacy that closes it, and movie scenes that set the whole room in one press.
HEAT & GLARE CONTROL
Lower blinds automatically against harsh sun to keep rooms cool and protect furnishings, and lift them to welcome winter light – comfort and efficiency without thinking about it.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
Close blinds automatically at dusk for privacy, and run them on schedules while you’re away so the home looks lived-in.
APP & VOICE CONTROL
With a Wiser gateway, control your blinds from your phone or by voice, alongside the rest of your C-Bus home.
FAQ
Can Clipsal C-Bus control my blinds and curtains?
Yes. Using C-Bus shutter relays, we integrate motorised blinds, curtains and awnings into your C-Bus system, controlled individually, by room, or in whole-home scenes from switches, a touch screen or the Wiser app.
Can blinds be part of scenes with my lighting?
Yes – that’s a key benefit. Because blinds share the C-Bus network with your lighting, a single scene like ‘movie’ or ‘morning’ can move the blinds and set the lights together, rather than operating separate systems.
Can C-Bus lower my blinds automatically against the sun?
Yes. We can schedule blinds to lower against afternoon sun to keep rooms cool and protect furnishings, and lift them for winter light – reducing the load on your heating and cooling.
Can I control C-Bus blinds from my phone?
Yes, with a Wiser gateway. The Wiser app lets you control your blinds remotely and by voice, alongside your lights, climate and scenes. See our C-Bus Wiser page.
Can you add blind control to my existing C-Bus system?
In most cases, yes. If your blinds are (or can be) motorised, we can integrate them into your existing C-Bus system with the appropriate shutter relays and programming.
What types of window furnishings can be automated?
Motorised roller blinds, curtains, awnings and many louvre systems can be controlled by C-Bus. We’ll confirm what suits your specific blinds and motors during assessment.
Do automated blinds help with security?
Yes. Blinds can close automatically at dusk for privacy and run on schedules while you’re away to make the home look occupied – a simple, effective deterrent.
Do you handle both the blinds wiring and the programming?
Yes. As licensed electricians and C-Bus specialists, we handle the relay wiring and the C-Bus programming together, so your blinds work reliably within your smart home.
