Services
What I can help with
Every home is different, so every job is quoted. Tell me what you have and what you want it to do.
Home Assistant installs & tidy-ups
A fresh install done properly, or a tidy-up of the one you have: updates, backups, cleaner automations and safer remote access.
Wi-Fi & home network fixes
Fast, reliable Wi-Fi in every room. Dead spots sorted, mesh set up, a separate guest network and a hardened router.
Smart doorbells & cameras
See who's at the door from anywhere, with cameras set up privately and securely and not left open to the internet.
Smart locks
Keyless entry for the family, with codes you control, alerts when the door is unlocked, and a backup way in if the battery ever runs flat.
Ongoing support
Help when something stops working, changes after an update or needs adding to. Optional ongoing monitoring is planned for later.
Fixed scope
Smart Home Security Check
A security professional reviews your home network, devices and accounts, explains what matters in plain English, and gives you a written report with fixes in priority order.
It's a review, not a penetration test, and nothing is changed without your OK. No one can honestly guarantee you won't be hacked; the Check finds the risks most likely to hurt you and shows you how to reduce them.
- Router & Wi-Fi: admin password, firmware, encryption, guest network, remote management, port forwarding and UPnP.
- Accounts: email, Apple, Google and Microsoft accounts, password manager, multi-factor sign-in and recovery options.
- Home Assistant (if you have it): configuration hygiene, secrets in config files, pending updates, backups, users and remote access.
- Devices: what kinds of devices are on your network, and which look out of date or out of support.
- Written report: findings rated Critical, High, Medium or Low, with step-by-step fixes, plus a follow-up call to go through it.
How it works
Simple, from first chat to handover
-
Chat
Call or email. Tell me what you have, what's annoying you and what you'd like the house to do.
-
Quote
You get a clear written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you're getting.
-
Install
Everything set up neatly and tested, with strong passwords, multi-factor sign-in and current updates from the start.
-
Handover & support
A walk-through of how it all works, written notes for your records, and help if something stops working later.
Why C41
Local, careful and security-first
I'm Callum Flowers, based in Adelaide. My background is in identity and security and IT professional services, and I run C41 Consulting myself.
Smart home gear is easy to buy and easy to set up badly. I set it up the way I'd want my own home done: reliable, tidy and locked down.
-
Local
Based in Adelaide. You deal with the same person from the first call to the follow-up.
-
Security-first
Default passwords changed, multi-factor sign-in on, guest networks for visitors and gadgets, updates sorted.
-
Plain English
No jargon. You'll understand what was done and why, and have notes to refer back to.
-
Works with what you have
Apple, Google, Amazon or Home Assistant. I'll suggest new gear only when it's genuinely needed.
Good to know: I don't do electrical work or fixed cabling (that's for licensed trades), and I don't work on laptops or phones managed by your employer.
Service area
Adelaide metro
I work in homes across the Adelaide metropolitan area.
Outside the metro area? Get in touch and ask. Travel is quoted separately, and advice and the Security Check can often be done by video call.

Pricing is by quote, because every home is different. Call or email with a quick description of what you have and what you'd like. If I can't pick up, leave a message and I'll get back to you.
