Hi everyone!

I’ll be live tonight at 9 PM on YouTube to give a short review of the year 2022 for Gladys, a very positive year for the project, and above all to present my goals for 2023 :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Looking forward to seeing you tonight here:

Hello,
Watched the replay this morning.
Thanks for sharing

  • Linky: it seems the access interface on Enedis’ side is changing on May 1st. Certainly an impact on Gladys
  • on one slide I clearly read Twitter but no presence on e.g. https://fosstodon.org/, maybe worth considering even if at the start it could be a copy of tweets into toots :slight_smile:
  • To grow Gladys it might be necessary to go beyond France. What about neighboring French-speaking countries, Belgium etc., and tomorrow Germany, Spain?
  • Are there English-speaking users?
  • regarding mini PCs: the question I have is power consumption because a Raspberry Pi is 4 to 5W (measurement made via a Fibaro plug)
    Happy New Year 2023

I can answer that.

@Tlse-vins Which mini PC model did you choose (tested)

Thanks @Phil for your feedback!

Normally no, we don’t go through the front-end but through a partner API which is fixed :slight_smile: I’m on the latest version that was released very recently

Why not! I need to find a way to automate tweets from one to the other, if you have a way to do it I’m interested :slight_smile:

French-speaking countries are already well represented on Gladys, Belgium accounts for 5% of installations, Switzerland is a bit represented too! I don’t know what I could do to reach more of those countries?

Germany and Spain not so much, moreover we have no content in those languages.

I’m not closed off to those countries (Germany would be interesting in my opinion), but really I have no idea how I could get Gladys to take off over there.

I’m trying to develop that, but clearly I’m struggling. Last year I launched the English forum ( https://en-community.gladysassistant.com/ ), which so far hasn’t taken off much with only a few posts.

Historically we’ve always developed Gladys in English and French (all the content on the site/the docs exists in both languages, and the whole developer part is in English only), so no issue there, but I’d say there is little commercial effort made in the US/UK for example.

I don’t make YouTube videos in English, no live streams. On Twitter/Facebook I don’t have English accounts.

It’s hard to put myself in the shoes of those users and reach out to them ^^

Maybe also an issue of integrations, so far it’s true that in the US users have integrations specific to their country (Lutron for example), but it’s a point where the move to Matter will help us!

If you have any ideas I’m all ears :slight_smile:

It’s a Dell OptiPlex 3040.

@pierre-gilles
Enedis API
Ok

Country
Additionally, I agree, Germany would certainly be an accelerator if Gladys could gain a foothold there.

Twitter and Mastodon space :

  • If Gladys doesn’t yet have an account in the Mastodon space, one will need to be created on an FR-language server and another on an English-language server. Personally I’m on fosstodon.org, so by default the tweets, sorry the toots must be made in English. It is possible to follow other accounts that publish in French on any Mastodon server, see them from foostodon and reply in French. But when one has an account on foostodon, initial toot = in English.
  • there existed the tool: https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br but it will close at

Hello, is it the consumption of the Pi or of the Dell?
Sincerely Bernard

What I put is the Dell’s power consumption.
So not much more than a Pi.

@jparbel Personally I installed it on a Beelink BT3Pro2 (under €100 on Le Bon Coin) with Linux Lite, it works very well! The advantage is a graphical interface accessible via RDP, and a mount to fix the NUC to a wall or a monitor! I added the Node-RED docker (Install node-red on Linux | Snap Store) to interact with an IPX800 and that’s what I found to be the most stable after trying it on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, and the power consumption — well, it’s powered by a 12V 1.5A adapter so max 18W at full load (playing a video for example). I suppose that just with Linux and Gladys it should run at 10W max! And

It’s true that it’s much more stable.
If I had to do it again, I’d go straight for a mini PC.
I recommend it over a Pi.

who’s going to get it? :joy:
Not me, I already have 3 of them (one on Jeedom, one on Home Assistant (HA), one on Gladys)! :sunglasses:

When I see these comments about mini PCs I think it might be the right time…

Given my current problem: Gladys en carafe

Go for it @b3n.0 !!!

Naive question: is this type of dongle used to bridge between Zigbee devices and Gladys?

Yes, that’s the one.

Thanks @cce66

@pierre-gilles on Mastodon the name " gladys assistant" doesn’t exist yet, but there are several gladys. My recommendation would be to create a login, for example: FR_gladys_assistant EN_gladys_assistant , just to reserve the names.
