Hi everyone,

Today is a big day: I’m releasing a major version of Gladys that will drastically improve the Gladys experience and keep us at the cutting edge of data storage technology.

Imagine...

➡️ Your Gladys database shrinking from 47 GB to 1.5 GB...
➡️ Your charts displaying instantly, even over long periods of data...
➡️ Your Gladys Plus backups becoming lighter and faster...

Well, we did it!

The Technology: DuckDB​

DuckDB is an OLAP database system that, like SQLite, stores data in a single file.

Hi everyone!

Today I'm releasing Gladys Assistant 4.40, an update to Gladys that brings a much-requested feature: the ability to use Gladys with an existing Zigbee2mqtt instance.

Using Gladys with an existing Zigbee2mqtt instance​

From now on, when you configure Zigbee2mqtt in Gladys, Gladys will offer you 2 choices:

Hi everyone!

I'm buying an apartment​

The first news of this launch is that I'm buying an apartment in the south of France: my first main residence!

Obviously, I'm going to connect this apartment entirely with Gladys and make it a real showcase for what's possible in home automation in 2024 😎

I'm going to push the cursors to the max on all subjects: lighting, presence detection, security, music, etc....

The aim of this apartment is also to turn it into a real laboratory for home automation experiments.

This will allow me to be at the forefront in terms of Gladys use, and to be able to test all the new features at home.

I'll show you my personal setup​

For the moment, the apartment is empty.

Happy New Year to all 🙌

I hope 2024 will be a year full of good things for you: health, family, projects!

Like every year, I take stock of the previous year and present my plans for the new year.

If you prefer this review on video, I've made a YouTube live which is available for replay here (in french only).

What happened in 2023?​

Hi everyone!

2 weeks ago, I was live on Youtube for a live coding session that lasted over 7 hours!!!

In this live, I developed from start to finish a Sonos integration for Gladys.

The live coding was in French, if you are interested, the live replay is available here on YouTube.

Today, I'm happy to release Gladys Assistant 4.32, which includes this Sonos integration 😁

Hello everyone,

At the end of October I presented Gladys Assistant 4.30, a version that brought a complete alarm to Gladys!

Today I'm releasing Gladys Assistant 4.31, a version that brings a lot of new features and fixes following your feedback on the alarm mode 🎉🎉

Tag filtering in scenes​

Many of you have been asking for a mechanism to filter the increasing number of scenes in your instances, and @Lokkye has done just that!

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.

Hello everyone!

Hope you spent good holidays ☀️

On the Gladys Assistant front, I returned last week with an update to v4.26.1, which introduced a set of fixes in response to your feedback over the summer.

Today I'm following up with a more important update in terms of features: Gladys Assistant 4.27.

Rename your devices on the dashboard​

Hi everyone!

Today I'm pleased to announce Gladys Assistant 4.26, a release that brings compatibility with Tuya-compatible devices.

It was already possible to use certain Tuya Zigbee devices with Gladys via our Zigbee2mqtt integration, but now Wi-Fi connected sockets and light bulbs are also compatible via an official Tuya integration 🎉🎉
