Hey everyone,

Back in September, I announced that energy monitoring was coming to Gladys. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that it's officially live in Gladys Assistant 4.66! 🎉

  • Track your consumption in kWh and euros with precision matching your energy provider
  • Support for multiple rate types: basic, peak/off-peak hours, and EDF Tempo
  • Historical rate management: because prices change over time
  • Beautiful dashboard widget to visualize your consumption by day, month, or year
  • Compatible with Zigbee devices, MQTT sensors, and the Enedis integration

Energy Monitoring Coming Soon to Gladys

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!

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year 2025!

I hope you had an excellent 2024.

For Gladys, 2024 was a pivotal year, marked by personal changes that allowed Gladys to develop to its full potential!

Indeed, I moved into an apartment fully automated with Gladys. It has become a real showcase of the work we've done and allowed me to record dozens of tutorials on smart home technology.

What happened in 2024?​
