Hi everyone!

Today I'm launching a new release, Gladys Assistant v4.9.

In this version, I'm bringing a new major integration to Gladys: Amazon Alexa.

It means we are now compatible with all voice assistant: Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

What's new in Gladys Assistant 4.9?​

Amazon Alexa integration​

It's now possible to control your Gladys devices in Amazon Alexa.

We supports 3 types of control for now:

  • On/Off (On lights, and switches)
  • Light Brightness
  • Light color

It means you can say:

  • "Alexa, Turn on the light in the living room."
  • "Alexa, dim the bathroom light."

Amazon Alexa Gladys

To configure Amazon Alexa, it's just a few clicks.

You can follow our documentation on how to configure Amazon Alexa.

Inject variables in the HTTP Request action in scenes​

You can now inject any variables from a scene in the HTTP Request action.

Inject variable in HTTP Request scene

It's super simple and it can help you build powerful scene, like calling Node-RED with a custom parameter!

Zigbee2Mqtt: Add support for Sonoff SNZB-01​

We now support more clicks on the Sonoff SNZB-01 wireless switch.

How to upgrade?​

To update Gladys, we recommend using Watchtower: it upgrades your container automatically as soon as a new version is released. See the documentation.
