Welcome to part 1 of ‘Digital Twins and the Home of the Future’ and if you’re new to my articles, welcome to the Joshua J Morley IoT Blog. You can read about me, my blog and other articles on this introduction page.

I’m going to show you how to build a digital twin of your house, a concept that I have no doubt will be a component of the home of the future. But instead of having to wait for it to become available, we’re going to get there first.

In this article we are going to be talking about Digital Twins, the Internet of Things and go over some of the features this home of the future will feature.

The things that will be covered are:

  • What is a Digital Twin?
  • Brief introduction to The Internet of Things
  • How will we use a Digital Twin
  • Architecture of my home of the future in both AWS and Azure
