Hi everyone!
2 weeks ago, I was live on Youtube for a live coding session that lasted over 7 hours!!!
In this live, I developed from start to finish a Sonos integration for Gladys.
The live coding was in French, if you are interested, the live replay is available here on YouTube.
Today, I'm happy to release Gladys Assistant 4.32, which includes this Sonos integration 😁
Now you can connect your Sonos speakers to Gladys.
Hello everyone,
At the end of October I presented Gladys Assistant 4.30, a version that brought a complete alarm to Gladys!
Today I'm releasing Gladys Assistant 4.31, a version that brings a lot of new features and fixes following your feedback on the alarm mode 🎉🎉
Many of you have been asking for a mechanism to filter the increasing number of scenes in your instances, and @Lokkye has done just that!
Hi everyone!
Gladys Assistant 4.30 has just been released, and it's a hell of a version!!! 🥳
The main feature is the complete management of an Alarm mode that allows you to set up a complete home security system.
You've got to admit, it does make you want to 😎
Gladys can now replace a complete alarm system by managing the various states of any good alarm system:
Hi everyone!
Another Gladys update with lots of new features 🥳
It's now possible to connect your Mitsubishi air conditioners (connected via MELCloud) to Gladys!
Thanks to @Lokkye for the development 🙌
If you're using Gladys on a touchscreen tablet somewhere in your home, it's likely that you'll want to display the Gladys dashboard full-screen, without the option of navigating away from that screen.
This is now possible, thanks to a parameter to be added to the URL:
?fullscreen=force
To enable better use of "tablet on the wall" type devices, the duration of connection sessions has been increased to 1 year.
(Sessions can still be revoked in Gladys settings at any time).
It's now possible to define at what limit the colors of the "Temperature/Humidity" widgets change.
A bedroom doesn't necessarily have the same limits as a bathroom, or a terrarium!
When editing a dashboard, you can now define customized thresholds:
Thanks @Lokkye for this development 🙌
From now on, expired camera images will no longer be displayed on the dashboard:
The Tuya integration was released this summer, and a new type of device has just been added: roller shutters.
Thanks @Lokkye for this development 🙌
Full CHANGELOG available here.
If you installed Gladys with the official Raspberry Pi OS image, your instance will update automatically in the coming hours. It can take up to 24 hours, don't panic.
If you installed Gladys with Docker, make sure you are using Watchtower. See the documentation.
With Watchtower, Gladys will update automatically.

Hello everyone!
Hope you spent good holidays ☀️
On the Gladys Assistant front, I returned last week with an update to v4.26.1, which introduced a set of fixes in response to your feedback over the summer.
Today I'm following up with a more important update in terms of features: Gladys Assistant 4.27.
Hi everyone!
Today I'm pleased to announce Gladys Assistant 4.26, a release that brings compatibility with Tuya-compatible devices.
It was already possible to use certain Tuya Zigbee devices with Gladys via our Zigbee2mqtt integration, but now Wi-Fi connected sockets and light bulbs are also compatible via an official Tuya integration 🎉🎉
To mark this launch, I'm offering 40% off your first Gladys Plus payment with the code TUYA2023 !
Hurry up, it's happening on Gladys Plus here!!!
For now we only support 2 types of devices: sockets & lights.
For example:
Tuya sockets like this $12 energy monitoring socket are compatible.
Tuya compatible lights like Dalattin pack of 4 light bulbs for $20,99 are compatible!
To configure these devices, you can follow the tutorial in Gladys documentation.
If you have other Tuya devices that are not yet managed, please come to the forum to talk about them.
Many thanks to Lokkye on the forum for this development 🙌
It's now possible to rotate a camera image 90°, 180°, and 270°, on the dashboard and in video lives.

Hi everyone!
New version of Gladys today with some really nice changes that improve the way Gladys is used on a daily basis.
Just before I get started, I wanted to tell you about a great deal I found on Amazon the other day, which I think is really worth it to get started in home automation with reliable, high-performance equipment:
Beelink mini-PCs are in flash promotion, at 159$ (-20%) for an 8GB RAM mini-PC, 128GB SSD, Intel Quad-Core processor, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The 16GB RAM version is priced at 179$.
Some people in the community have even ordered several, so to speak 😂
The community is pretty unanimous in saying that today, mini-PCs are a more than serious alternative to the Raspberry Pi, hard to find, and ultimately at a similar price when you take everything into account ( Board + SSD + power supply + case ).
Hi everyone!
I'm happy to present you today Gladys Assistant 4.23, a new release with lots of new features!
The major feature of this version is the ability to watch your cameras live on the dashboard, either locally or remotely via Gladys Plus.
The video stream is encrypted from end to end before guaranteeing your privacy, as always 😉
Hi everyone!
Unless you live in a cave, you've probably heard about ChatGPT/GPT-3, an artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI.
On the internet, everyone has tried to chat with this AI, whether it was to see if it would replace us at work, do better than us in university exams, or just to see how it reacts when asked convoluted questions.
On my side, I think this AI is a great tool, a kind of overpowered search engine, accessible to language, which has access to an impressive dataset!
Hi everyone, and happy new year!
Every year I write an article to summarize what happened in the past year, and my projects for the next one.
This year is no exception, so here is my yearly review on Gladys.
