Over-Engineering Your Home with Digital Twins Using AWS IoT TwinMaker

Watch a 13-minute conference talk from AWS re:Invent 2023 exploring the concept of digital twins through a practical home automation example. Dive into the fundamentals of digital twin technology, typically used in industrial settings, and learn how to implement it on a smaller scale using a residential door system. Discover the components required for creating digital twins, including AWS IoT TwinMaker and Raspberry Pi hardware, while understanding how predictive maintenance can be achieved through this setup. Follow along as the presentation breaks down the AWS IoT Suite's capabilities and demonstrates how to build an enterprise-grade digital twin solution for home use, albeit in a deliberately over-engineered way. Gain insights into the practical applications, implementation steps, and future possibilities of digital twin technology in a residential context.
