Hello everyone!

I’m new to the forum and to home automation. I’m about to receive my mini PC configured by Pierre Gilles! I tried Home Assistant and found it all too complex, too English, and not user-friendly… in short… I hope to find my «&nbsp;magical&nbsp;» home automation here 😂

I’m just starting out… I hope you won’t mind if I ask a few «&nbsp;silly&nbsp;» questions.

Still, I have big goals! I’d like to manage my lights, electric shutters, gas and electricity consumption, and set up a home alarm system… in short…

I’ve got work to do!

Thanks in advance to all of you.

Spo08

Thanks to everyone! It’s been a week since I’ve been using Gladys and I genuinely love it. I’ve already connected a smart switch to a roller shutter (and it works!!), my lights are recognized, I’ve installed a presence detector with light intensity modulation depending on the time of day (thanks to the AI)… in short… I’m thrilled!

The hardest part is not going in all directions 🤣
