Gladys Assistant – A privacy-first, open-source home assistant

  Is there an elevator pitch for why I’d use this vs HomeAssistant?

    HA is very good, it has way more compatibilities than Gladys right now, but IMO HA is more targeted to developers/tech-savy people, or at least people who likes “hackable” software Gladys was designed from the beginning to be a consumer software, meaning: no SSH needed, no files to edit, no “you-need-to-configure-grafana”. Everything happens in a very simple UI that the whole family can use, that’s our end goal :) So I would say it’s 2 differents philosophy

  aren't voice activated personal assistants currently dominating this space? do you have any plans to support voice control?

    FWIW, I’m less enamored with voice-based than I am with schedulable/scriptable tools. HomeAssistant allows things like “have all my exterior lights come on at sunset and stay on til 9pm, unless I’m out of town”, or “when I get within 500ft of my house, open my garage door and turn on the hallway lights”

    We do have a Google Home integration. IMO Gladys is more about going further with scenes, a beautiful customizable dashboard, and using regular Google Home / Alexa for voice commands.
