What Our Community Says
Frequently asked questions
Is Gladys really free?
Yes, 100% free and open-source! Gladys Assistant is free software you can install with a single Docker command. No subscription is required to use Gladys, no limitations, no credit card needed.
You can install it on any Linux machine: mini-PC, Synology NAS, Raspberry Pi, server, or even an old computer. If Docker runs on it, Gladys runs on it! 🚀
Is it hard to install?
It takes some technical steps, but we guide you through them. You first need a Linux machine (Ubuntu Server, for example), then you run Gladys via Docker. Our documentation walks you through each step with screenshots and videos.
Is my data really private?
Yes, by design. Gladys runs at home, on your machine. Your smart home data (sensors, scenes, history) stays on your local network.
No mandatory cloud, no tracking, no data selling. Optional services like Gladys Plus exist (remote access, AI…), but the core of Gladys remains self-hosted. 🔒
Does Gladys work with my devices?
Very likely! Gladys supports thousands of devices through open protocols like Zigbee, Matter, and MQTT, plus native integrations (Sonos, RTSP cameras, and many more).
Device not listed yet? Have a look at external integrations : community-built integrations you can install in one click, and the list keeps growing. If yours is missing, build it yourself in the language of your choice, or ask on the forum.
Can I access Gladys from outside my home?
Yes, in several ways:
Option 1 (recommended): Gladys Plus, our optional service that gives you secure (end-to-end encrypted) access from anywhere. Works as an app on iOS and Android.
Option 2 (for experts): Set up your own VPN or reverse proxy. Gladys stays 100% free, but this requires technical skills.
