Hi everyone!
Discord is becoming a messaging channel for Gladys, like Telegram: you
chat with Gladys and receive her notifications in private messages, via
your own bot.
What it does
- Code Linking: Each Gladys user generates a code in Gladys and sends it to the bot in a private message. That’s it.
- Two-way communication: Your private messages to the bot go to Gladys, and her responses and notifications arrive in private messages, including camera images (using the « Send a message » action in scenes).
- A trigger « Discord Command Received »: A private message that starts with
!(e.g.,!gate) launches a scene instead of going to the assistant. Only linked accounts can do this. - A scene action « Publish in a Discord Channel »: A notification in a channel of your server (family, home…).
- A Test the bot button, which also provides the invitation link.
The cool part
- Someone rings → the camera photo arrives in a private message.
!heating→ the « heating comfort » scene starts from the office.- The evening summary (temperature, alarm, consumption) published in the #home channel of the family server.
Installation
Gladys 5.1 minimum. It will be available in the store at the next indexer run. Can’t wait? Integrations → Install from GitHub, with the address GitHub - LM1LC3N7/gladys-discord: Gladys Assistant external integration for Discord: notifications to a channel or a user through a bot, with a “message received” scene trigger. Unofficial, not affiliated with Discord. · GitHub
- On the Discord developer portal, create an application, add a bot, and copy its token into the configuration.
- Test the bot provides the link to invite it to a server you share with it.
- In Gladys, generate your linking code and send it to the bot in a private message: it responds « Account linked! ».
The documentation details each step of the Discord portal.
Honest small reservations
- Beta: The connection to Discord and errors have been verified on the real service, but not yet a complete round trip with a real bot. Your feedback is welcome.
- Chatting with Gladys’s assistant requires Gladys Plus. Notifications and
!commands work without. - Private messages only: the bot does not read channels and does not request any privileged permissions.
- Everyone creates their own bot and keeps their token: nothing goes through a third-party server.
