## What it is
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
