A BETTER EVERYDAY VIEW
Find the room.
Make it yours.
Move from a building overview to a single control. Keep the things you use most on Home, or collect them in Favourites.
LESS SCREEN BUILDING. MORE HANDOVER.
A spreadsheet in.
A building in view.
Start with the group information you already have. Centric turns it into a structured interface, so you can review the setup instead of laying out every control from scratch.
INSTALLER WORKFLOWIllustrated example
01 / 04
No individual page drawing. Tiles are generated from the project’s configured controls.
One place to finish the job. Import, review and transfer groups through the installer interface.
A familiar starting point. Keep working from a spreadsheet, with a downloadable import template.
THE CONTROLS THAT MATTER
One interface.
Plenty under control.
Use the functions configured for your project. The controls and feedback available depend on the connected equipment and C-Bus group setup.
Open. Close. Just right.
Use open, close and stop controls, with position sliders where supported by the configured blind or curtain group.
Comfort, clearly shown.
Bring configured climate setpoints, heating, fans and temperature readings into the same room view.
Music belongs here too.
See artwork, play or pause, skip tracks and adjust volume through the configured Sonos integration.
See the state. Take action.
Check light status, use the all-lights-off action and reach the scene or trigger groups already set up in the project.
A view for each user.
Personal and guest profiles, room/control visibility and separately saved Home and Favourites arrangements.
LET IT FEEL LIKE YOUR SPACE
A considered look.
Your finishing touch.
Choose a theme or Liquid Glass finish. Add room pictures, set page-image coverage and darkness, and choose the clock, weather, calendar and message widgets you need.
When the controls can rest, the screen saver can become a photo slideshow.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few things
to know.
What does Centric connect to?+
The current implementation is built around the Clipsal C-Bus AC2 Automation Controller. You need an installed controller, a configured C-Bus project and network access. Control types depend on the groups and equipment in that project.
How does spreadsheet setup work?+
Import a supported spreadsheet, review the room/category assignments and use the installer tools to transfer groups to AC2 objects. The interface builds its tiles from the configured controls. The import template is available above.
How long does installation take?+
The workflow is designed to reduce repetitive setup: import groups, review assignments and personalise the result. Actual time depends on the spreadsheet, existing controller configuration and project size. A prepared group list gives you a clear starting point.
Is Centric for residential and commercial projects?+
Yes. Centric brings residential and commercial controls into one clear view. Organise your project by building, level, room and category. The available functions depend on the C-Bus controls configured for that project.
Does it need an internet connection?+
Local C-Bus control needs the controller and local network to be available. Weather, internet music and other online services require internet access. Remote connectivity depends on how access to the controller has been configured.
Can I download the Apple app?+
The current Apple app is a development build for iPhone and iPad. This preview does not link to a public App Store release. The browser interface remains part of the product.
