Hello everyone 🙂

I’m releasing Gladys Assistant 4.40 today, an update that brings a big addition: the ability to connect Gladys to an existing Zigbee2mqtt instance 🥳

I talk about all the new features on the blog:

> **[Testez Gladys Assistant avec une instance Zigbee2mqtt existante ! | Gladys...](https://gladysassistant.com/fr/blog/gladys-4-40-external-zigbee/)**
>
> Tu es utilisateur Home Assistant et tu veux tester Gladys sans toucher à ton installation ? C'est possible !

Don’t hesitate if you have any feedback 😉

Hello,

Thank you so much @pierre-gilles for this long-awaited feature (I was about to switch to HA…), and I confirm that the Zigbee integration is perfect in my case 🙂 The mixing of sensors in the scenes and the ease of use are really impressive…

If you need tests or anything else, don’t hesitate to let me know!

I am currently continuing to integrate: door opening sensor, indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity.

Have a nice evening,  
Jean

I posted a short message this morning on HACF (French Home Assistant community) to get feedback on this Zigbee2mqtt integration now that we can connect to an existing installation 🙂

Yeah, I saw it 😕 I sent a message to the moderator who flagged the post to see if I put it in the wrong category or if I broke a rule ^^

Indeed, a concurrency issue…

My answer:

I find it a shame, but well, we’re on their forum, they do what they want 🙂

I’m not particularly surprised, but I find your answer perfectly appropriate… we’ll see!

Hello everyone.

As some of you know, I am one of the founders of HACF and president of its association since its creation (until tonight when I give up my post)  
I am unfortunately not surprised by the report of this individual.

I have just asked for explanations, because he did act entirely on his own.

For me, I am in agreement with @pierre-gilles, I do not see at all what the problem is. I will move it to the blabla category, but I have no problem talking about the competition.

I personally apologize for this behaviour. There are always a few bad apples.

No need to apologize 😉  
As for me, I didn’t know you were one of the founders!

Cool, we’ve got legends among us 😛
