Gladys Assistant is a privacy-first, open-source smart home platform that runs locally via Docker on a mini-PC, NAS, or Raspberry Pi. It offers dashboards, scenes, energy monitoring, a voice assistant, and integrations for Zigbee, Matter, MQTT, and community-packaged external integrations.

Use cases

  • self-hosted home automation without cloud
  • control zigbee devices locally with a usb dongle
  • integrate matter smart home devices
  • monitor home energy consumption and solar production
  • build automation scenes for lights and heating
  • run a smart home hub on raspberry pi or nas
  • voice control for lights and appliances

When to choose

  • you want a local-first, privacy-respecting alternative to cloud smart home hubs
  • you prefer open protocols like Zigbee, Matter, and MQTT
  • you want one-click community integrations packaged as Docker containers
  • you need dashboards, scenes, and energy tracking in a single polished UI

When to avoid

  • you need a live RTSP/ONVIF video stream from cameras (only snapshots for some integrations)
  • you require a huge out-of-the-box device ecosystem comparable to Home Assistant
  • you don't want to run Docker or maintain a self-hosted server
