Thanks to the great open-source project Matterbridge, you can integrate your Shelly modules (Gen 1, 2, 3, 4, BLU…) directly into Gladys, locally, without the cloud.
100% local control No need for the Shelly app Simple and quick integration
A huge thanks to @Terdious who wrote a complete tutorial explaining everything
I have very little time to tinker at the moment. But I really want to move my home automation over to Gladys, which I think is more transparent.
But it takes time.
In any case I’m following it closely and it’s progressing really fast.
With the Matter integration and the major work by Matterbridge and its plugins, Gladys really has new cards
While I’m at it, Matterbridge has a Home Assistant plugin so if you want to use Gladys but have a Home Assistant behind it as a « backend » for integrations, that’s perfectly possible!
Not having the time anymore, I realize that Home Assistant requires time just to maintain the solution. And depending on updates, features (non-core to HA) no longer work without intervention on my part. So I’m thinking about what I want and no longer want. The advantage is that I only have Zigbee, Shelly (MQTT) and a few Tuya devices. So Gladys shouldn’t give me too much trouble.
As usual (Jeedom to Domoticz to HA), you have to break away from the logic of what you know to grasp the new logic.
