Hey everyone,
I’m excited to share my latest Home Assistant project—my Digital Twin Smart Home using floorplan! Managing smart devices across my three-level house became quite a challenge, so I decided to model my entire home to the inch and integrate it with Home Assistant for better automation and control.
Why a Digital Twin?
With so many smart devices spread across different floors, it was difficult to keep track of everything. A digital twin helps me:
Visualize my smart home in real time
Easily control devices from a 3D model
Troubleshoot issues faster
Enhance automation by mapping sensors and devices to physical spaces
How I Built It
- Modeled the home using [SketchUp, Enscape, Inkscape]
- Imported the model into Home Assistant using Floorplan
- Linked smart devices using Lovelace, Home Assistant sensors, and automations
- Optimized performance to ensure real-time updates
Video Demo
I made a full video showcasing my setup! Watch it here: [My Smart Home Digital Twin: A Real-Time 3D Model of My Home!]
If you’re interested, I can make a follow-up walkthrough with more details.
What’s Next?
I’m exploring ways to integrate real-time occupancy detection, Generative AI assistant, energy monitoring although provider APIs not available where I live, and even voice-controlled navigation. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
