I just discovered the Gladys project and I’m super excited about the possibilities presented!
I subscribed to the newsletter, the forum.
I took a rasp3 and installed Gladys.
I just logged in, created my account, and … that’s it…
I don’t know where to start next, I think I understand that there are scripts, modules, areas, … lots of things but I can’t find a page, a doc that gives a general idea of how to get started with this…
Am I looking in the wrong place? If so, can you give me the 2-3 pages that are right for me?
Great, I wasn’t going in that direction (site dev) but I was browsing the forum. Thanks.
On the first read-through of the « configuring your home » section, I have a direct comment: can you have multiple homes in a Gladys?!?
I thought it was one Gladys = one home.
If I want to include my house and my office, do I need a Gladys at home and a Gladys at the office? Do I use the same account for both Gladys instances?
The multi-house is managed at the Gladys level, but not yet very well at the device level. For now, you will need two Gladys instances, but the long-term goal is to have a « master » Gladys and a « slave » Gladys that relays the master’s orders.
I finally received my Z-Wave dongle and connected a camera, a button, a door sensor, and a window/light sensor.
Everything is visible in Gladys without any issues.
I added boxes to my home screen.
I’m starting the Scenario phase.
First remark, I can’t find the sensor events (button press, motion in front of the camera, etc.) easily. The Edit button for devices scared me, and the device graphs remain empty…
Am I missing something or should I look for this information elsewhere?
For the Fibaro button (The Button, Intelligent Home), the graphs offer me more than twenty values to monitor, but they all remain empty.
These 20 values are also found in the Edit button.
For the Dlink window sensor (D-link Door & Window Sensor), I found two values out of the 30 offered that display a nice curve that I need to understand
Should I look into the values available in Edit to move forward?
The Fibaro button still doesn’t work with OpenZwave (the open-source Zwave engine I use for Gladys). We’ll have to wait until the feature is available on their end… (I also have the button, it’s not possible to make it work yet).
Yes, for example! You need to find out which value corresponds to what!
Here’s what I recommend:
Switch to the graph view, trigger a window opening, and see if the graph changes (it’s updated in real-time).
I’ve continued to follow from afar, but haven’t really found the time to do a clean install.
The developments have probably played a part in my return. I must admit the alarm concept is very good.
I already have 2-3 things where I’m stuck; I’m looking through the forum for threads to attach myself to. Presence management by the l’an manager, for example.
I’ll post my orphaned topics here before opening tickets
There’s a much-needed tutorial for setting all this up.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions
