Hi ! My name is Pierre-Gilles Leymarie, and I’m the founder of Gladys Assistant. I built the first version of Gladys in 2013. At the time, I was an engineering student playing with a Raspberry Pi in my small student apartment. Now, a few years later, I’m happy to release the v4 of our software that we built with the whole Gladys Assistant community 🥳 We’ve completely reworked the product, with simple goals: - Great UX with no need to learn CLI to use Gladys Assistant - Stable product, with an automatic & seamless upgrade process - Fast - Lightweight We’re really happy about what Gladys Assistant is right now, and we’re looking forward to have your feedback :)
Congrats on the launch! 🚀

Thanks Joshua :)
This is awesome! Visited the landing page a few times over the last few years, but never really understood what it can do. Congrats on launching 🚀

What wasn't clear on our landing page ? You can try Gladys on our demo website too, maybe it'll be more helpful =>
I meant it wasn't clear before v4, love it now.
Good product! Congrats on the launch!

Thanks 🙏
A proper app and secure app for home improvements.

Thanks Süheyla :)
Amazing! I have an unused Raspberry Pi that I may have just found a use for. Very very cool.

Don't hesitate to give me your feedback after that :)
As a consumer who worries about online privacy, I'm loving the use of local SQLite database, and no remote account is required. Any home automation software which requires an account with a third party is just sketch, if that makes any sense? As if Google & Amazon don't already have reasons to invade your privacy for little to no benefit, I see this as a great way to achieve same end result. Good job!
It look awesome ! The idea is great but what about security? Does it rely on basic firewalling?
Maker
It's secure by design. People host it at home and data never leave their home network + of course you have to login to use it even on your local network.
Amazing product ! I had the chance to use it and see what's the community behind it. Great job launching it

Thanks Shubham 🙏 And I'm launching all this from Bali ;)
Congrats Pierre!

Thanks Oliver! Your logo still look amazing on Gladys 😍
It really does!!
Amazing, love this! Congrats on the launch!
As a user of Home Assistant + Room Assistant, what is the killer feature that might compel me to switch platforms?
Maker
You'll love the general philosophy we put into Gladys: a product made for everyone, not just for tech people. We built Gladys like we were building Twitter. No SSH needed, no CLI, no file editing. Everything happens in the browser like any web product. Backups are automatic and fail-safe.
that's great! I would also love to see a product that lets someone rent or AirBnB their place and provide guests a super easy to use interface, with limited access to some of the automations.
