Christmas 2023 poll: What do you think of Gladys Assistant?

Why not if there is demand, although it’s a fairly complicated topic if you want to do it right. Typically, just for electrical consumption the « naive » way to do it is to take the average grams of CO2 emitted per kWh (in the user’s country) and apply that to the consumption.

The real way would be to have a historical API of the carbon intensity of production at hour H and recompute the consumption hour by hour.

But why not, feel free to create a Demande de fonctionnalités if you want that to come to Gladys :wink:

I think most ISPs already have a home-automation program, I’m not sure Gladys is at the stage right now to go talk to big ISPs :smiley: But maybe in the future!

Are you thinking of a specific system? Feel free to create a Demande de fonctionnalités!

No one has ever asked but I’m just as transparent about expenses as about income.

I could write a summary article or mention it in my annual report in January :wink:

To be brief here, yes of course there are a bunch of expenses:

  • Online accountant: 95€/month
  • Gladys Plus hosting: 120€/month
  • Forums hosting: 22€/month
  • Domain name: 40€ / year
  • Website (analytics): 10€ / month
  • Home automation hardware (for testing/sent to community members): 250€/year
  • Other: a bunch of small things (software, etc…)

To share a screenshot from my online accountant:

In 2023, the operating result (annual) is €3720; it’s positive because I applied for public grants and needed equity to apply.

Also, I don’t pay myself and the goal is to reinvest 100% of the revenue into growth. So in theory the goal is to close the fiscal year with €0 profit.

Use Gladys Plus :smiley: It’s the best for that!
