Hello everyone,
You have devices that are not compatible with Gladys and do not use an open protocol like Zigbee or Matter? No panic.
I created a Matterbridge plugin factory powered by an AI, which automatically develops plugins for your devices. No development skills required.
Prerequisites: Matterbridge must be installed and configured. If this is not yet the case, first follow this tutorial in the documentation.
How it works?
You open a GitHub ticket to describe your device, the AI develops the plugin overnight, and you just have to test it. If something goes wrong, you leave a comment and the AI iterates.
Step 1: Create a GitHub Ticket
Go to the factory repository:
Issues · GladysAssistant/matterbridge-ai-plugin-factory · GitHub
Click on « New Issue »:
Then select the « Plugin Request » template:
Fill out the form:
- Title: the name of the plugin you want
- Links: if you know of similar plugins on other projects (Home Assistant, Homebridge…), add the links. The more context you provide, the more relevant the result will be on the first try.
- Features: describe what you want to control. Examples: temperature, on/off, humidity, brightness…
- Additional context: optional field, but useful if your device has peculiarities.
Tip: if you don’t know what to put in the links, specify it in the description and ask the AI to search itself. But the more precise you are, the better the result will be.
Step 2: Install and Test the Plugin
The factory runs every morning and processes one plugin per pass. Once yours is developed, the AI will reply directly on the ticket with a download link:
Download the file, then in Matterbridge click on « Upload + »:
Enter the plugin name in the « Plugin Name » field and click on « Add + »:
The plugin is installed, you can test it!
Step 3: Provide Feedback
If the plugin does not work as expected, leave a comment on the GitHub ticket. The AI will read your feedback and correct the plugin on the next pass:
Don’t hesitate to open tickets, that’s what they’re for! And if you have questions about how the factory works, ask them here.
