Hey everyone!

You've probably heard of OpenClaw, the AI framework that blew up on GitHub a few weeks ago and was just acquired by OpenAI. I decided to connect it to Gladys to see what it could do, and honestly, the result is impressive.

Energy Monitoring Coming Soon to Gladys

· 4 min read
Pierre-Gilles Leymarie
Founder of Gladys Assistant

Hey everyone,

At the end of May, I was chatting with Thomas Lemaistre (@Terdious on the forum), and he was explaining his electrical setup: multiple meters, solar panels, an electric car... and soon batteries to store his energy.

His goal in Gladys:

👉 Track his consumption directly in euros
👉 Visualize the different energy flows in his home
👉 Measure the performance of his solar panels
👉 And most importantly, know how close he is to energy self-sufficiency 🌞🔋

I've been dreaming about these kinds of features for Gladys for a long time 😍 But it's a big project, difficult to start without funding.

In June, @Terdious offered to finance the development himself. Just like that! 🎉

He prepared a detailed specification, I proposed a quote, he accepted... and I was able to start this project this summer.

Today, I'm super happy to reveal the first part of this development!
