Using AI to control your connected home

Gladys can control your smart home in natural language. There is no fixed list of commands: talk to Gladys like you would to a person, and the AI figures out what to do.

This feature relies on open-weight AI models hosted on a sovereign European cloud (Scaleway, France) via Gladys Plus. AI inference stays in Europe, within infrastructure operated under GDPR.

Prerequisites​

The AI integration is included in the Gladys Plus subscription (Plus plan). It is enabled automatically as soon as your instance is connected to Gladys Plus. Create your account if you haven't yet.

You can talk to Gladys from:

How does it work?​

Behind the scenes, Gladys uses large language models (LLMs) that understand natural language. You don't need to learn a fixed list of commands: describe what you want in your own words, and Gladys figures out what to do.

The LLM understands a wide range of requests: controlling devices, reading sensors, launching or creating scenes, analyzing camera images, asking for advice, and much more. The more devices you have in Gladys, the more Gladys can do for you.

Examples​

  • "Turn on the kitchen light"
  • "What's the temperature in the garden?"
  • "Show me the living room camera"
  • "Start Cinema Mode"
  • "Create a scene that turns off all the lights at 11 p.m. every evening"
  • "Who invented the light bulb?"

These are just examples to get you started. In practice, you can ask almost anything related to your home or everyday life. Feel free to experiment.

Where is my data processed?​

Open-weight models used by Gladys Plus are hosted by Scaleway in French data centers. Your requests are processed in Europe.
