Sorry I’m bumping the thread
It’s funny that I come across this topic while researching Gladys for my article because, as you point out and as I’ve been telling myself for the last 10–15 days since I started using Gladys again: There is nothing to say about Gladys — the documentation is super clear and complete, the interface is also very clear and you can see that each integration is meticulously added from back to front.
Automations seem disarmingly simple. So apart from the lack of some integrations, clarifying what is cloud/non-cloud with obligations like Gladys Plus, etc., it’s not obvious to write things.
And unfortunately this strength of Gladys can also be its weakness because if no one talks about it it’s not easy to make this solution known.
Home Assistant has the advantage of being far ahead on integrations and also more customizable, but that poses problems for the complete beginner in home automation.
Another advantage in my eyes is that it has a lot of non-cloud integrations (Tuya/Sonoff/calendar etc.) — so it’s truly local.
But as pierre-gilles says, and as I hope for him, the future will prove him right.
There are a lot of users on Jeedom and Domoticz; it’s those users you should target rather than HA users, because the latter are often tinkerers/geeks — however, that’s exactly the audience that could be interesting from a dev perspective.
