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

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

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.
