[We need you] Contribute to the site's 'Compatibility' page!

Hello everyone :slight_smile:

The page Integrations on the site allows newcomers to check which smart home devices are compatible with Gladys, which is useful for building an installation.

The problem is that this list is severely lacking content, and is far from representing the full range of Gladys compatibilities (especially Zigbee items!)

:police_car_light: This is where I need you:

This list is entirely crowdsourced, and can be edited by anyone without any programming skills, you just need to go to an online site and populate the list (It’s a kind of online Excel).

I believe in the power of the community, and I’m sure we can manage to have as complete a list as possible!

To help, you can follow this tutorial, and add your Gladys devices to the list:

No need to ask for permission, go ahead — it’s open bar :smiley:

Thanks to those who take the time :folded_hands:

I’ve just added 4 Zigbee devices :slight_smile:

I just realized that the Lixee wasn’t there. I’ve just added it.
The Philips Hue are Zigbee too, shouldn’t we put them in both categories?

Except that the changes made on Airtable are not showing up on the Gladys Assistant site; you only need to count the number of devices to notice it — it might be a cache issue.

There are two parts in Pierre-Gilles’s tutorial. The second part, being more technical, is done occasionally to take all the changes into account in batches.

@bjm That’s the point :slight_smile: If it were live between the website and Airtable, it would be a security nightmare — anyone on the internet could put anything on the Gladys site, that’s risky!

Hi everyone,

I’m following up on this — there are only 86 devices on this list so far, and I’m convinced there are many more compatible! :smiley:

If everyone could take 5 minutes to add their devices, no skills are required, it’s just an Excel to fill out!

Hi everyone !

I’ve spotted some Zigbee devices that look nice and are popular on Domadoo, and I wonder if anyone has them at home and has tested them with Gladys ?

Great, the remote probe!
The temperature sensors I put in my freezer don’t hold a charge for more than a month, surprising, right?! :sweat_smile:

I don’t have this probe yet, but it’s interesting. Same for people who have pools.

For pools, unfortunately this cannot work because the probe is not designed to be submerged long-term, and pool chemicals furthermore damage the probe even faster.
Par contre il en existe des plus efficaces sous l’eau (du genre ça : SHT20 SHT30 SHT31 SHT35 Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitssensor-Sondenkabel, rostfrei, wasserdicht, IP68, hochpräzise OEM, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, I2C - AliExpress 502), but that means you would have to open / solder the new probe!

I have the Heinman; it rings on its own, not dependent on the home automation. So there’s not really a scene to set up.

It still looks quite tall, I think.
@lmilcent it’s more discreet, isn’t it? The price isn’t the same either.
However, neither of the two is on the compatibility page.

I’ll check, but when I tried to add it, it seems it was already there.

It is not yet displayed on the website.

That’s normal, the site and the Airtable page are not « live », there’s a validation and review step for the data entered into the Airtable :slight_smile:

Ca prevents someone from deleting everything or entering bogus/hateful data/etc, and above all it allows removing « rotten » data from the table (invalid link, title too long, etc…)

This step can be done by anyone ( C’est expliqué dans le tutoriel: Comment alimenter la liste de compatibilités sur le site? )

For now, I’m the one who does it when I have the time, so don’t hesitate to do it yourself if you want to help me :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reminder,

The part to synchronize the site with the Airtable list hasn’t been done for a while, I think.
Who cloned the site’s repo to do it?

20

The last sync was 3 weeks ago, that’s fairly recent:

I check from time to time if there are new integrations added to Airtable; a month ago there were 86 integrations, and now we’re at 87, so unfortunately there hasn’t been much activity :sweat_smile:

Is Airtable causing a problem?
