Gladys 4 Beta is available! 🚀

Hello everyone!

It’s Monday, a good opportunity to give you an update on this week’s developments.

:rocket: Scheduled scenes are now available on the beta! Normally, your instances have been updated, and you should find this kind of triggers in the scenes.
:rocket: The Philips Hue polling bug is now fixed! See the GitHub PR.

:hammer_and_wrench: After a debate on the MQTT API, I started working on the specifications + changes to the Gladys 4 MQTT API, as well as developing new features related to MQTT! More information on this topic.
:hammer_and_wrench: « StĂ©phane Â» on GitHub is working on installing the latest version of OpenZWave on the Gladys 4 Docker image. This will allow all recent Z-Wave devices to be compatible and better managed by Gladys. See the discussion on GitHub.
:hammer_and_wrench: @VonOx is working on the new build process for the Gladys 4 Docker image, to prepare for the beta release of Gladys 4. See the PR on GitHub.
:hammer_and_wrench: @joeypic is still working on RFLink, with the help of @peb this time to build the Docker image. See the relevant topic.

:telephone: I’ve started individual calls with Gladys Plus contributors to help beginners get started and gather feedback on this new version :slight_smile: It’s very rewarding to have a phone exchange, it gives me lots of ideas to improve Gladys and I hope it gives a helping hand to novices who want to get into home automation.

This is a small preview of the developments, but there are plenty of other things being done in the background by the entire community.

It’s great to see so much activity :smiley:
