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 😎

An alarm in Gladys​

Gladys can now replace a complete alarm system by managing the various states of any good alarm system:

If you'd like to set up an alarm with Gladys, I've written a complete tutorial on the subject!

Node-RED integration​

It was already possible to interface Node-RED with Gladys (with the MQTT integration), but this required some knowledge as you had to launch Node-RED yourself.

Lokkye has worked on a native integration so that anyone can launch a Node-RED instance alongside Gladys with a single click!

From now on, just go to the "Node-RED" integration and click on "Activate" to launch a Node-RED container:

Tuya: Power consumption management​

Tuya integration now supports connected sockets that report electricity consumption data.

Thanks to Lokkye for the development 🙏

Launch a scene from chat​

This was already possible with the ChatGPT integration, but this command has just been added to the Gladys "local" chat model. You can now ask Gladys to launch a scene in the chat:

Thanks to Lokkye for the development 🙏

Launch a scene with MQTT​

You can now launch a scene using MQTT by posting a message on the topic:

gladys/master/scene/SCENE_SELECTOR/start

By replacing SCENE_SELECTOR with the scene selector, which can be found in the scene edition URL.

For example, for the scene http://192.168.1.10/dashboard/scene/cinema, you'll need to send a message to the topic:

gladys/master/scene/cinema/start

Thanks Lokkye for the development 🙏

Launch a scene when Gladys starts up​

Want to receive a message when Gladys restarts? Perform an operation every time Gladys starts up?

You can now launch a scene when Gladys starts up:

Scene when Gladys starts

Thanks Lokkye for the development 🙏

Zigbee2mqtt: Interface enhancement​

Devices already added will no longer be displayed by default in the "Zigbee network discovery" page:

Zigbee2mqtt hide devices already added

And the Zigbee2mqtt URL is now displayed on the configuration page!

Bug correction: When changing the USB key port, Gladys restarts the Zigbee2mqtt container with the correct volume.

Thanks to AlexTrovato and Cicoub13 for these improvements 🙏

Homekit: Humidity and leak sensors management​

From now on, your leak and humidity sensors will be put back into Homekit!

Thanks bertrandda for the development 🙏

The complete CHANGELOG is available here.
