Hey everyone!

Lots of new things lately 😀 This version 4.80 brings many stability improvements, fixes for Matter, Netatmo, and Tuya, plus several AI additions.

🤖 AI​

The AI agent keeps improving, with two new features:

  • ➕ Added a new sensor.set-state tool, letting the agent directly change the state of certain sensors when asked. For example, you can use the AI to read a camera image looking at a meter and store the value it reads into a virtual device. You could also automatically read a license plate and store the number into a virtual device!
  • 🐞 Added a button to download the AI's debug context as JSON, to make it easier to diagnose issues and share them with the community.

The AI-generated weekly reports now appear in the background tasks (Settings → Tasks), which lets you track their execution and easily spot any errors. A random delay was also added before they're generated, to avoid overloading the servers all at once.

🏠 Matter​

This version further improves Matter compatibility:

  • 🌡️ Added local temperature reporting on compatible devices.
  • 🔄 More robust connection process.
  • 📝 Richer logs to make debugging easier.
  • 🌀 Several fixes for Matter fans.
  • 🎛️ Fixed a bug where a device's unique identifier changed when it was updated.
  • ⚡ Reads the initial state of device features at startup.
  • ❗ Errors when registering a device are now shown directly in the interface.

Matter.js was also updated to version 0.17.3, a major step forward bringing notably:

  • Support for the Matter 1.5 / 1.5.1 specification, improving compatibility with the newest devices.
  • A 20–50% reduction in memory usage, letting Gladys run even more smoothly.

📡 Integrations​

Tuya​

The Tuya integration keeps maturing: a new common mapping layer to improve device handling in both local and cloud modes, and an assistant to automatically create a GitHub ticket when a device is partially or not supported.

Netatmo​

Two important improvements: restored automatic OAuth token refresh, and a more resilient automatic reconnection in case of authentication errors, including during business API calls.

Zigbee2MQTT​

Zigbee devices now display their IEEE address as well as a direct link to open the device in Zigbee2MQTT, making diagnostics and configuration easier. Remember to add your Zigbee2mqtt interface URL in the settings to use this feature 😉

🐛 Fixes​

  • Fixed a bug on scenes using the next sunrise trigger.
  • Fixed an issue preventing a device from being saved when energy_parent_id was invalid.
