All help is welcome! Are you familiar with Node.js / JavaScript?
Basically, Gladys Assistant is a Node.js server that interacts with a SQLite database, nothing complicated. The frontend is a Preact.js application (Like React but lighter).
We pay quite a bit of attention to code quality, so there are tests to write but again nothing tricky, itâs learnable
The easiest way to get started is to set up your local development environment:
Yes, I know Angular (even though itâs TypeScript, Iâve also coded in JS). Preact.js or even React, I havenât done those yet, but Iâll learn them no problem ^^
To test them, I might sometimes need a bit of guidance
When you say small features, do you have an example?
And I donât know if itâs been asked, but connecting to a music service like Deezer or Spotify could be interesting, right?
Managing Spotify by handling premium access to play on Wi-Fi speakers linked to the account would be great Just to set an alarm, etc., itâs very useful
Yes! For those wondering where these articles come from, itâs simply a lot of preparatory work (press release and press kit preparation), then journalist prospecting, and many emails, phone calls to bring these articles to life
Just a quick note to say that I just discovered the project thanks to the article from Maison & Domotique and I find it just great! You can feel that the design has been well thought out and I canât even imagine the number of hours behind it⊠Anyway, I canât wait to migrate to it, it almost gave me the idea of training in node to lend a hand Well, I wanted to report the points that prevent me from going into production but I just realized that they are already all in the github So I will just wait⊠Anyway, I wanted to tell you bravo and keep it up!
I am continuing my work on acquiring new users, and I wanted to keep you informed about this work that is taking up a lot of my time alongside the development of v4.
Paper Magazine « Programmez »
I am in contact with a journalist from the magazine « Programmez » to write an article for their February 2021 issue. This is a big article that I have to write myself, so it will take me some time, but itâs worth it. The last paper article I did with v3 was a huge success, specialized press is really the best.
This is great for Gladysâ evolution.
I donât remember where I saw this, but on certain hardware manufacturer websites, compatibility with this or that home automation box is mentioned.
I donât know if youâve already planned this, but it would probably be interesting to also highlight the management of Philips products, Sonoff devices, etc., and to introduce Gladys to manufacturers.
I was also following this « home automation center » (if I can call it that ) from afar via Korbenâs articles and your version 4 will surely push me into the great adventure of the connected home. The big plus for me is the attractive aesthetics, the displayed simplicity and above all the mastery of the chain (especially for personal data = no thanks Amazon Echo!).
As I havenât started yet, Iâm still looking for my products and I donât want to limit myself in terms of technologies/materials to buy. While browsing the forum here and there, I understand that V3 had more compatibility (at the cost of instability according to the REX explained clearly in the blog) than V4, is it possible to quickly see what is being integrated/developed? Via the PR on Github?
Thanks and hoping to even be able to contribute my stone to the edifice when I have a bit of gear at home!
