Hi everyone!

Another Gladys update with lots of new features 🥳

Integrations with Mitsubishi air conditioners​

It's now possible to connect your Mitsubishi air conditioners (connected via MELCloud) to Gladys!

Thanks to @Lokkye for the development 🙌

Full screen mode for Gladys tablets​

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).

Set room temperature/humidity widget limits​

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 🙌

Camera images expire​

From now on, expired camera images will no longer be displayed on the dashboard:

Tuya roller shutter management​

The Tuya integration was released this summer, and a new type of device has just been added: roller shutters.

Thanks @Lokkye for this development 🙌

Lots of fixes​

  • In MQTT, NextCloud Talk and Tasmota integration, password fields will no longer be automatically filled in by browsers (to avoid auto-fill bugs) (#1881)
  • On the dashboard, some devices no longer have value expiration dates (smoke detector, water leak detector, button, and text)
  • Improved translations in OpenWeather integration (#1897)
  • In scenes, in the "Control a device" action, binary devices are initialized to 0 by default instead of "empty value" (#1901)
  • In MQTT integration, an error message is added when a device is created with the same external ID as an existing device (#1902)
  • Better validation of "string" states (#1894)
