At Work With.. HEMANT & EVONNE DAYA
Dayatech Automation. Smart Home Specialists.
When Hemant decided to exit
corporate life in Sydney, a move to
Cairns was the perfect sea change.
Hemant admits to being a misfit in the
corporate world and quickly felt right
at home in the Far North. “Cairns has
an entrepreneurial spirit that we love;
there are so many fantastic
businesses evolving here, and the
community are so welcoming. One

could go to the same coffee shop for
ten years, and no one would care, here
it’s the complete opposite.”
Hemant and his wife Evonne have
turned a passion for solving problems,
into a thriving home and business
automation venture.

refers to the ability to control
everything around the house – from
switching the lights to opening the

or a single tap on the screen.
Home automation was often thought
of in the past as elitist or perhaps like
something out of a James Bond
movie, but now it is not only affordable
but in many cases necessary. It has
become an essential element in the
quality of life for those with
disabilities, and a revolution in home
security, it can make life much safer.
Hemant first began messing around

dorm, he laughingly suggests that it
came about out of “pure laziness”. He
achieved many qualifications which
include an engineering degree, a
Masters in Information Security, he is
