Gladys

Gladys Assistant provides a self‑hosted smart‑home platform that runs locally on devices such as a mini‑PC, NAS, or Raspberry Pi. It aggregates data from temperature sensors, security cameras, presence detectors and other devices into a single dashboard, allowing users to monitor and control their environment without sending information to external services. The system offers voice interaction through Telegram, Google Home, Alexa or Siri and supports automation of everyday tasks—like turning lights on, brewing coffee or playing music—through a graphical interface that requires no coding.

The software is open source under the Apache‑2.0 license and is distributed as a free, non‑subscription tier. All integrations, including Zigbee, Matter, MQTT and popular commercial products, are community‑maintained and run entirely on the user’s hardware, ensuring that data never leaves the local network. Installation can be performed quickly with Docker or Docker Compose, and the platform includes automatic upgrades for new features and bug fixes.

Designed for privacy‑conscious users, Gladys emphasizes a clean UI, low‑latency actions and long‑term stability. It targets hobbyists, developers and anyone who wants a customizable home‑automation solution that remains under their direct control.
