Gladys Assistant

Gladys Assistant is a free, open-source home automation platform that runs on your own hardware, so your smart home stays private and keeps working even without an internet connection. It is designed to be simple: a clean, fast interface for everyday use, no terminal required once it's installed, and no coding needed to automate your home.

Gladys installs with a single Docker command on almost any Linux machine: a Raspberry Pi, a mini-PC, a Synology NAS, an Unraid server or an old computer. Updates are installed automatically, and the project is built with stability as a priority, so your installation keeps running for years.

Main features:

• Dashboards to monitor temperature, cameras, presence and all your devices at a glance, in light or dark mode
• Scenes to automate your day with triggers, conditions and actions, built visually without code
• Energy monitoring to follow electricity consumption, solar production and home batteries in real time
• Built-in assistant to control your home by voice or by message from your phone
• Security features such as intrusion alerts, water leak detection and presence simulation

Compatibility: Gladys supports thousands of devices through open protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, MQTT) and native integrations for popular brands like Philips Hue, SmartThings, TP-Link Kasa and Tapo, Shelly, Sonos, Reolink, Netatmo, Tuya and LG ThinQ. A growing catalog of community-built external integrations can be installed in one click, and anyone can create a new one in the language of their choice.

Privacy first: All your data (sensors, history, scenes) stays on your local network. No mandatory cloud, no tracking, no data selling.

Gladys has been developed for about 10 years and is backed by an active and welcoming community forum.
